    I hope you all fail.

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Alright, I'll bite this one too. I come from a long line of failures. Failures because they never tried anything new, never learned from their mistakes, and were proud of their martyrdom to unwavering principles. The crabs are very real, and you sound just like them. Knock it off. Learn from...

    The Goldilocks Theory of Being Rich (What's the Ideal Amount of Money to Earn?)

    IDEA 
    Nice article. It happens to match my current financial goals. I figure that with $10 million, I will have $4.8 million in ready money. That's enough to make an impact.

    Why don't you ask him what he would do? I'm guessing he didn't start out with more than one sale...

    Has anyone here had success with reddit advertising? Please share!

    MARKETING 
    reddit IS a sidewalk roundabout, most of the time (what a fantastic description!). But when you find the right sub, it can be pretty good. Check out the story line of Rohan Gilkes on reddit. When I first saw his grand idea on the forum, I thought, 'oh, that poor guy, they're going to bury him'...

    Motivational Quotes

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I don't have a motivational quote, but a story. This weekend was our annual Summer X Search and Rescue regional training. It snowed. No one left. Our motivational speaker was Michael Ferrara. What does that have to do with the Fastlane? It's this - we do it because we can't NOT do it, even...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    "All in" for me means putting everything on the line, and I won't yet, because kids. But - I buy myself time. When I have to, I get some stupid a$$ job that pays between customers. Then I quit in disgust and hustle more. I'm committed to building a lifestyle, including right freaking now. My...

    We do what we WANT

    HOT! MINDSET 
    People always do what's important to them - but we're creatures of habit, and get stuck on things that were important to us 5 or 10 years ago. Or we do things out of obligation, or because we bought into a narrative that we never fully examined. True story: I just published a book called...

    Rock Bottom

    MINDSET 
    Gee whiz, you sound like me. I lost a beautiful, gorgeous perfect-for-me job in a startup, started my own consultancy - and wound up alternately crying, hiding in my room, and watching every.single.episode of MASH, in chronological order. I have some suggestions of what worked for me. YMMV: -...

    How do you tell if an idea is a good idea before investing time and money?

    IDEA 
    Here's an example of idea validation that I went through this morning: Backstory: I bought a fun little bicycle ice cream cart last year as a way to get out from behind the computer and sell stuff I KNOW people want. (They do too - they come running when they hear the bell.) Today is a...

    - I don't know how. - I'm too shy. - My money beliefs were strangled to death in 1980. (ie getting past the idea that $10000 is a lot of money - it isn't!)

    INTRO 
    Hey all! I'm just getting back into the swing of things after a disgusting depression sidelined me. Currently working on a series of products for my baby consulting business.
