    The Science of Getting Rich

    MINDSET 
    I read it a while back, nothing revolutionarily though I agreed with a lot of it. It's just another one of those books that points out that getting rich is primarily about mindset and how you approach life, which is absolutely true. Most people do not become rich because they are looking for...

    Swing Trading $5K (How to lose most of your cash)

    Wow, he was cleaned out brutally if he held.

    Bodybuilder Rich Piana bashes slowlaners and explains that there is more than a job.

    SLOWLANE 
    Gotta throw in some douchebag behavior to confuse the fastlane forum about my economic philosophy, right babe?

    How Do I Track Down the Owner Of a Domain

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Nothing is really required. There are certain addresses that the email RFC says should be valid but that doesn't mean the domain owner cares or has actually configured them properly.

    Worth it to work at big companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple?

    Gotta disagree. If you are working a job and pursuing your own business ventures that earn you an income, then it can come from both. Several very successful posters here pursued that path for a while, such as @Vigilante.

    Worth it to work at big companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple?

    This thread really speaks to me as it is pretty much the exact situation I find myself in right now. I currently work for a Fortune 100 as a software developer. I will clear about 175k gross in 2017. According to this site, for a 33 year old that puts me in the top 2% of incomes in the country...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    Right now I do not have the capital to buy an apartment complex or multifamily property and collect rent. I either have to rent or purchase (since having a roof over my head is a requirement lol). Purchasing was the lower cost once I ran the numbers. Quite correct, which is why you have to run...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    I have primarily rented for the past 7 years, which is why I decided to buy as it really made more financial sense once I ran the numbers. In just the past 4 years my rent increased by over 30%. While property taxes and other ownership expenses certainly do increase over time, rents are...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    They do so with rent too, and in many cases they go up faster than with owning. This is true, but this is more of a value judgement on how much you value mobility, not really a direct financial comparison.

    College for a job vs. college for learning?

    You don't need college for a job or to be an entrepreneur, but for some people it's indispensable for learning. I was one of those people. I came from a very backward and sheltered religious family. I knew very little about the real world before I got to college. I was lucky enough to go to a...

    7 Years and No Action

    RANT 
    Haha, I got you beat, 12 years for me. Been reading this kind of stuff since I was 20, and I'm 32 now. Finally taking action this year but I could have been a lot further along. I convinced myself that I didn't have the capital to start an online business all these years but that's absurd...

    There is no possible way to fail.

    EXECUTION 
    I assume he meant ultimate failure, i.e. never succeeding. Or objective failure. If 10 of your businesses fail but one succeeds, the world will generally recognize you as a successful business person. This is because most people fail in business and are not ultimately successful, which is of...

    There is no possible way to fail.

    EXECUTION 
    Agree, learning is key. Both taking in new information, and learning what went wrong with your failures. Trying to do the same thing over and over failing, and expecting a different result is of course the definition of stupidity.

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    GURUS 
    Yeah, there is some hidden upselling though which convinced me to never order any of his other products. When you order his 67 steps program (for what was described as a one time payment of $67) you are automatically signed up to his "insider book club" which is $67 per month unless you cancel...

    To borrow or not to borrow

    MINDSET 
    You really only want to borrow after you have something working and can calculate your ROI to an accurate degree such that you know how much more you will make if you put X $ more in. Then you can figure out whether it makes sense to borrow by comparing that return with the interest rate on the...

    Advices for young guys

    I think this is the simplest description there is of how to become wealthy. Most people are consumers. They spend money to buy things and acquire material possessions. To become wealthy you must spend your money on acquiring assets that generate you more money.

    Advices for young guys

    I haven't read the book but for me the secret to winning office politics is don't play the game. Other people in the office are angling to get ahead of each other and move up the corporate ladder because they view that as the path for their career advancement. But if you are going fastlane, you...

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    GURUS 
    This was by far the biggest value Tai Lopez offered to me imo. I ordered his 67 steps program but actually haven't even watched any of the videos yet. But when you order and login to his site he has a book club section where he recommends a book every 2 weeks. I looked at his previous...

    Why does everyone love Think and Grow Rich

    HOT! 
    Very true, but that mostly has to do with how many failures those who did not gave up after. Walt Disney was denied 302 times by banks before he got the first loan he needed. Howard Shultz was denied 242 times before he founded Starbucks. The people who succeed are also many times those who...
