    One technique for building powerful habits is to list out the top 5 habits that you want to develop. Then prioritize them from the most important to the least. Then focus on building the most important habit for 90 days consecutively until it becomes automatic. Once it's automatic and it...

    All this luck/randomness talk is really just operating from an external locus of control. "Things are happening to me." "I blame external forces" This is a crippling belief system Entrepreneurs don't believe this. We have an internal locus of control. "We make things happen." "We are...

    How do you stop self sabotaging for good?

    MINDSET 
    I'm not at a high level compared to other people here but I'm going to take a shot anyways. The question being "How do you stop self sabotaging for good?" I think the assumption of for good would be something I question. I would ask " Can I even stop it for good? 100%? Forever? For the rest...

    Young fastlaners: SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

    GOLD! HEALTH 
    I haven't switch to a dumbphone but I use an app called minimalist phone: Productivity . It changes the UI of your phone and makes it really boring but still usable. I like my phone as a tool but not as a distraction.

    Stop wasting time - Choose your advice carefully

    MINDSET 
    Since I am at a crossroads. I think the question that I would ask myself is… “Do I want to build the next egyptian pyramid(metaphor) that will stand the test of time?” OR “Do I want to escape the conventional constraints of the script?” Your vehicle of choice will matter. I can see both...

    I'm at a cross roads right now and I just want to say thank you guys for having this discussion. Although I'm just entering entrepreneurship I knew that my "why" would be the thing that would pull me through all the tough times ahead of me. This right here was gold. Thank you @Kak for sharing...

    Business VS Specialized Skill : Advice is Much Appreciated!

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    If you're going to invest in anything , I think it would make sense to invest in yourself and your earning capacity first, especially when you don't have a lot of money. So I would say specialized skill first(aka you) and then convert skill into a unit.(aka business) I think you will get a...

    Can't use the C.E.N.T.S. framework without a business. Can't build a business without a sale. Can't be dreaming about freedom in your job everyday. You need to start digging your way out.

    MARKETING MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Although I am still in the slow lane I tried my best to discern the core differences between both paths and it really came down to two components that the fast lane has that the slow lane doesn't. Those things are.... 1. An Entrepreneur 2. A Business In my mind it would only make sense to try...

    MARKETING MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Glad you liked it! Yes I was in the dreamer phase as well. I think that's where everything starts. But the bottom line is that you need to have a transaction between buyer and seller. Without that there's really no business ( aka no sales ). That reality knocked me out of the dreamer phase...

    Intro Hey everyone, this is going to be my first real post in the forum. Coming from the slow-lane, reading TMF was such an eye opener that I felt like I had to shift my mindset dramatically just to get moving. I hope this helps some of you get inspired and moving again. Back story I...

    The absolute BEST book you MUST read!

    GOLD! 
    Great reminder! I had this problem starting out. Coming from a slow lane job I realize that I needed something valuable to offer and sell. I didn't need to consume more books for the sake of it. I had to shift my mindset from "I'm reading this because I might need this in the future"...
