    Starting a YouTube Channel for Senior Citizens: Teach as I Learn or Wait Until I've Succeeded?

    QUESTION 
    This guy's playlist is an interesting body of work. Who would have guessed that a channel about milkshakes, sundaes, and floats would have built a subscription base of almost one and a half million? And considering his gentle personality and video subjects, I find his "about" section interesting...

    Starting a YouTube Channel for Senior Citizens: Teach as I Learn or Wait Until I've Succeeded?

    QUESTION 
    MJ says the Fastlane can make us wealthy in 5 to 10 years as opposed to taking 40 to 50 years to get rich on the Slowlane. I'm new to the Fastlane approach to life, so I'm just now exploring what wealth-creating businesses I should start. But I'm confident that using Fastlane principles will get...

    No, I haven't seen his channel before. While checking out his channel, I noticed that his oldest video is from 17 years ago. Wow!

    QUESTION 
    Thanks for sharing that video; I just watched it. He made a great point when he said that people over 40, "have a huge, massive advantage over anyone that is younger...you have something that they don't have, which is experience."

    Starting a YouTube Channel for Senior Citizens: Teach as I Learn or Wait Until I've Succeeded?

    QUESTION 
    That's a great approach to consider. One benefit of marketing to a younger audience is that it would indeed be a larger audience. Another benefit is that, given the numerous mistakes I've made (LOL), I could create a substantial amount of content from those experiences, probably more than from...

    QUESTION 
    Hi Yeti, Thanks for your response! I read Kevin Kelly's "1,000 True Fans" article years ago but haven't thought about it in a long time. I'm glad you reminded me of it. In addition to Kelly's insights on reaching a small market, MJ DeMarco also emphasizes that it's unnecessary to reach millions...

    QUESTION 
    Thank you for your response, Runum. While I'm on Social Security, I never actually retired and have continued working. Most of my adult life has been spent in sales. About 12 years ago, after a challenging period in advertising sales, I transitioned to being a substitute teacher, a role I still...

    Starting a YouTube Channel for Senior Citizens: Teach as I Learn or Wait Until I've Succeeded?

    QUESTION 
    Great feedback, Andy. Starting the channel with the intent to document my journey is a fantastic idea. This approach will help me avoid coming off as a "get rich" guru who hasn't yet achieved wealth. I dislike YouTubers who give that impression, and I certainly don't want to be one of them...

    A Useful Idea from Philosophy to Identify Self-Limiting Beliefs

    MINDSET 
    Until a few years ago, a self-limiting belief I had was that I couldn't achieve really large goals. Slowly, I began realizing that the same types of significant achievements others had reached were also attainable for me. Then, a few months ago, I read "10x is Easier than 2x" by Dr. Benjamin...
