Paralysis by Analysis - Procrastination Excuses and Breakthroughs?
MINDSETHas anyone else suffered from this? It seems as though I fall back into a comfort zone of performing more research, reading more books, listening to more podcasts, etc. instead of taking the necessary active actions to move my business systems/processes forward. I know myself well enough to...- Allen

What are some good books for self confidence & communication ?
MINDSETSome good advice so far. IMO, the most important action is to simply get out there and do it knowing it's OK to mess up as long as you learn from it and don't view a swing at a missed pitch as failure, rather as a lesson learned. However, I also realize that it's easier said than done. I am...- Allen

the Dark Side... Beginners beware.
I found the article interesting. Thanks for posting it. However, I think you could easily substitute the word "entrepreneur" with any other type of leadership role, i.e. corporate executive, small business owner, high-end consultant, etc. I believe there is a unique stress and a unique level...- Allen

The Finality Of Life
HOT! MINDSETGreat post! We all have to face our fears. When I faced mine, I realized that my biggest fear was that when I died, the general response would be "who?" I went to the funeral of a local fireman who was well-known in our community. Not only for his first responder career, but also for his...- Allen

I made a decision to finally take control of my life - Need advices
HOT!One of the best explanations I ever read pertaining to self-pity came from Deepak Chopra. It really helped me understand my emotions and how to correct them. He indicated that self-pity is the opposite of self-esteem. As a result, the real issue is dependency. Self-pity arises because you...- Allen

I made a decision to finally take control of my life - Need advices
HOT!Self-pity can creep into every facet of your psyche if you let it. In reading your original post and subsequent updates, it's obvious your rolling back and forth between feeling inspired and then feel self-absorbed with self-pity. I'm not here to judge you as I have also had similar feelings...- Allen

Too Old?
You are never too old to learn the truth and realize your dreams. As long as you provide value or fill a need, there are opportunities for you. Stay inspired and stay focused. If you lack energy, add some exercise, something as simple as a nice long walk every morning to clear your head is a...- Allen

I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!
GOLD! HOT!A second post since I've read it twice. :) I also drafted a 40-page pdf document of the key content that I review on a regular basis and that I have filed electronically for when I'm on the move. To further justify my OCD, I even drafted a 1-page Daily Fastlane Process that I keep in my...- Allen

How do YOU stay productive daily?
MINDSETI agree about the task lists and goals. Even though I have fully embraced technology and use my iPhone, iPad and laptop, I still use my daily planner religiously. I simply like the idea of writing things down including goals, tasks and random notes and/or ideas. There is something about pen...- Allen

What clicked in your head to start your Fastlane process?
MINDSETThanks! All good points! (Thanks everyone for your feedback). I agree that my biggest mental and emotional challenge is fear of failure. When I started my career, I worked with a great organization that promoted the idea to "Ask for forgiveness, don't ask for permission." Basically, stating...- Allen

Books: paperback or Kindle/Nook?
I still like the touch and feel of real books. Plus, anytime I read a book for personal development, aka "The Millionaire Fastlane", I like hard copies to highlight, write notes, etc. On the other side, I love magazine subscriptions via my iPad for information and content that I read on the...- Allen

What clicked in your head to start your Fastlane process?
MINDSETThanks. I know I don't walk alone when it comes to this change in lifestyle and plan. When I was 20, I could live off of peanut butter and beer for weeks. However, when you are older and have the welfare of your family to think about, it's easy to think about retreating back into the "safety"...- Allen

What clicked in your head to start your Fastlane process?
MINDSETI had a similar revelation in terms of holding a job vs. building a lifestyle. However after all the motivational books, seminars, it all comes down to taking action. I feel like after all of my experience, all of my education, all of my research and all of my studying of millionaire success...- Allen

What clicked in your head to start your Fastlane process?

I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!
GOLD! HOT!I read the TMFL earlier this year which led me here to register on the forum. As with any great book, I also drafted a 40-page summary document that I re-read every week as well as a quick one-page cheat sheet that I review every morning.

The Secret
HOT! MINDSETI watched "The Secret" last year and found it inspiring not because of some magic formula for attracting wealth, health, love, etc., but for the basic reminder about the power of positive thinking. I do believe we are the results of who we believe we are, however unlike "The Secret" that stops...- Allen
