    Master of My Own Fear - Primarily Weight-Loss *155 pounds lost*

    GOLD! 
    Does your trash can stink? This is a weird one, but bear with me. When I was fit, I'd need to take-out the garbage every two days because it was full of banana peels, chicken containers, and veggie pieces. That stuff would sour quickly. If your trash is full of wrappers, boxes, soda cans...

    EXECUTION 
    @DrkSide , @Raoul Duke , and @Chitown - we've all got some weight to lose. I'm down 20 (from a brutally honest Doctor's appointment just before the meet-up) but need to drop another 80. Imagine carrying a backpack with 80 lbs in it. All the time. And then imagine putting it down and never...

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    How the hell do you describe the last two days? A dozen speakers - who obviously have other ways to spend their time - distilling decades of success and failure into 45 minute talks for the benefit of a group of strangers. And when the speakers stopped on a break, some friendly person would...

    Phenomenal first day. All the presentations were great, but @million$$$smile just killed it. And talk about humble.

    Before you pick a Financial Advisor....

    RANT 
    @Greg P. Hey Greg - no need to dive back in if I read this too literally. (Don't waste you time - haha) It's definitely not for me to judge so if you're headed in the right direction, that's great. Just saw a few things I thought I'd comment on - many from my own experience. I wouldn't want...

    Before you pick a Financial Advisor....

    RANT 
    I forgot to add this... Again, you're looking for the shortcut. You were hoping some sage financial guru would school you in the ways of the world. You could arrive for your session and like Neo he'd upload his knowledge on everything from rental homes to blue-chips. Instead of Kung-Fu you'd...

    Before you pick a Financial Advisor....

    RANT 
    Your comment above was actually one of my first red flags about you. It sounds like you're pulling yourself in a dozen directions and one of them was the pleasant thought that "Bob" could work miracles for you with your money and make you a millionaire. Perhaps the above quote from you was a...

    What Should I Do At 17?

    HOT! 
    It's not as rare as you might think. That's why you shouldn't be too quick to dismiss a job, even a corporate one. With respect to the "slowlane", I'm in a corporate job that pays very well and I know many people in the same boat. For some reason people have equated these jobs with cubicle...

    Fastlane Summit Networking Event (FREE)

    MEETUPS 
    It's a resort/casino. You'll find people in suits headed to dinner and you'll find people in shorts and t-shirts. Dress comfortably. Jeans and an untucked, button-down shirt are my go-to.

    Unsupportive spouse

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Btw - age has nothing to do with it. You're 40? So maybe you live until you're 80 or 90 - another half-century! It's never too late to start.

    Unsupportive spouse

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Stop talking to her about what you're going to do and SHOW her. I realize this is a gross oversimplification from someone you've never met but she's tired of hearing about the next big idea. She wants some stability. I have mentioned my own aspirations to my wife, but mostly I go it alone...

    How I Use HIIT Sprints To BURN Stupid Amounts Of Fat Quickly...

    HEALTH 
    HIIT is really good stuff. I use it once a week on the track when I do interval sprints. When I really push it hard my intercostals (the cartilage and "meat" between your ribs) would be sore the next day from taking such massive, deep breaths. Sometimes I'd do all-out sprints then walk, or...

    Should I be setting goals at this time? And a question about goal setting

    MINDSET 
    I think this is the second or third book-related question you've asked lately. Not that there's anything wrong with reading, but at a certain point you need to close the browser, put down the book, and execute. No more books about million dollar habits, or multi-tasking, or goal setting. I'm...

    DONE Is Better Than Perfect (The '7 Out of 10' Rule)

    MINDSET 
    Ugh - it's like you're talking right to me. I suffer from this big time. Thanks for the reminder that perfection is the enemy of the good. Edit: Perfection also causes a "traffic jam" for me. Instead of moving quality content out the door, my posts back-up and by the time I've "perfected"...

    Are you giving it your all? Are you sure?

    MINDSET 
    Glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, there was no technique behind it. Just a brief rough patch and writing those words felt cathartic. I've said it before but this is a rare place on the internet. Need brutal honesty on an idea? You'll get it. Need to reach-out for help? You'll find that as...
