    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    "The value is in the idea. It's a bet that the value of centrally issued fiat money will go down over time." I invest 10% of every paycheck in my Fidelity ETF Bitcoin account.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Cognishn - I recently finished reading it and like you, I read it after watching Ali's video about it. Ali's recommendation made me reconsider reading it after I first dismissed it because I knew that the book advocated "get rich quick." I thought that all get-rich-quick books were scams. But...

    Basic Question about entreprenuership

    CHAT 
    I've certainly been guilty of sticking with something unlikely to succeed for too long. In The Dip, Seth Godin says to quit when there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Too often, I've just kept stumbling along in the darkness. Starting a progress thread sounds like a great idea for...

It's comforting to know that many of you on the forum who are now succeeding have struggled with failure just as I have. I...

    How to be real & authentic for a self-development YT channel I want to create

    IDEA 
    "Simply start with your first video titled something like 'My life's a mess. Watch me turn it round' and just open up about your life and where you are." Dan, that is perfect advice for Masterneme and a million other people (myself included) who want to start a YouTube channel, but whose life is...

    Newbie question about bookmarking forum posts

    EXECUTION 
    Hello, I'm new to The Fastlane Forum. In fact, I'm new to using forums at all! I just read a post that I loved so much that I copied it and pasted it to an Evernote document. Is there a better way to save forum posts that I like? Is bookmarking a post a possibility? I know I'm probably posting...

    Which Books Changed Your Life?

    CHAT 
    A few months ago, I read 10x is Easier than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy. This book was a game-changer for me. It suggests that we should eliminate 80% of the activities that consume our time and focus on the critical 20% that can deliver 10x results. I highly recommend it.

    Creating a Successful YouTube Channel in the Business/Finance Niche

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Hi, Aubrey - Before reading this post, I was vaguely aware of the Turo platform, but I always thought of it as one person renting out their one car. It never occurred to me that people can have numerous cars that they rent out and create a Turo business. That is so smart! I just subscribed to...

    I just finished listening to the Audible version of The Millionaire Fastlane . I don't have the words to describe this book's impact on my thinking. It has shown me the colossal mistakes that I've made throughout my life that led me to being a broke 67-year-old man working as a substitute...
