    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    Great point my friend -- there is no one size fits all answer for the college question. But you know the gist -- minimizing regret! I want to chime in to what Stefan said about gaming. I had a real problem with it at 17, 18 and 19, especially with games on the computer. Thankfully, I eventually...

    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    I personally don't think you need to worry about finding your why when you are 18. I would just do the things that I know are practically healthy at this age. By being hung up on figuring out what our purpose is over taking action (learning new skills + having experiences), we may just be doing...

    Choose Hard, Live Easy: The Art of War for Decision-Making (Release thread)

    HOT! BOOKS 
    I just saw a simple error: it has 'NO' instead of 'YES' on that sentence. That's all. While waiting for the release, I am going to make sure I increase my defcon score then reassess when it's out!! Specifically Q15, 23, and 24.

    “Technology used to be gated. Now the gate’s wide open and most people haven’t noticed.“ Quote still applies in my opinion, but more people are definitely waking up! https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/don%E2%80%99t-learn-to-code-think-like-a-technostacker-instead.119382/

    To be honest, I only scored 60. These questions felt very relevant for reflecting on. Preordered on Kindle! Also this is for MJ - I saw a small error (sentence 4 - page 37 of preview) @MJ DeMarco

    What stage are you at on the 4 stages of competence?

    MINDSET 
    I agree. Business itself is not a skill. But as an entrepreneur you need to possess skills to excel. I would say I reached a level of near advanced beginner for the app development space. At first I thought it was going to be easy -- I had the coding credential to back it up. But boy was I...

    What stage are you at on the 4 stages of competence?

    MINDSET 
    Last year I attended a coding bootcamp. On the first day, the instructors showed us this picture. They said their mission was to get people to Advanced Beginner as soon as possible -- the popularized milestone of the course. The anticipated realization of "Oh sh*t, I really don't know what I'm...

    Today I was looking for this quote from Steve Jobs and I know how people on Reddit are, but oh boy what are these comments? Woah. I felt a weird disconnect here. Curious what you all think.

    A platforms that bring gamers to indie game developers (for feedback, ideas, ect)

    IDEA 
    I’m building a browser game right now using Phaser with help from Cursor. I don’t by any means call myself a game developer. It’s more so just to learn how to build online projects in general. I wonder if there’s another separate group of people who want to make games, but don’t the hold indie...

    Average IQ of a Fastlane Millionaire?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I asked ChatGPT once for a ‘BS’ check with the sentence “if you’re so smart, why aren’t you doing X?” This is what it came up with: If you say you’re so smart, why aren’t you sleeping 8 hours and treating your energy like a primary asset? If you say you’re so smart, why aren’t you shipping...

    Average IQ of a Fastlane Millionaire?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There are so many high iq people with slowlane paths. You can also convince yourself nearly anything is good for you if you’re high iq. You have better reasoning. So if you’re currently LAZY, you might convince yourself it’s fine - and be stuck for years A better take for intelligence: “The...

    By implementing guardrails into my life. Create meetings with people. Go to school. Go to a job. Create a new social media. Sign up for a martial art. I've found personally the best way to combat social media addiction is REAL social connection on a REGULAR basis. my two cents. IMO, social...

    Who Moved My Cheese?

    MINDSET 
    I read this book growing up and definitely feel like I am currently in Haw’s position in one part of my life. I know a guy I REALLY want to “save” but it now feels like a dead end (spoiler alert- it’s related to video games.) So I’m still not exactly sure how to move forward from here. I want to...

    Help! Personal dilemma. Your opinion will save me

    IDEA 
    Seems like you got momentum and genuine curiosity in both areas. My question to you is which one is your passion? Which one would still peak your interest if you had $5M today, and why? Is it related closer to your degree of Mechatronics Engineering? Personally, I’m a big fan of the strategy...

    Thank you Connor. I don't have many tips yet honestly -- I'm still searching and exploring. For sleep, one hack I have find mildly helpful is setting automations on my phone (iOS Shortcuts). I have one that sends a text to the whole fam if my phone was still on during my bedtime goal. It's...

    Health/presence > fastlane business for now. I had some tunnel vision on one project and lost clarity on what it means to be healthy. Got sick twice within a 3 month period. Joints are stiff from not moving and probably not resting properly also. Extremely grateful with my INSIGHTS I gained from...

    Grateful I found this thread. I definitely think being pragmatic is huge now. I had a friend give an honest review of my landing page. 2/10 was the answer. I thought I should've felt hurt, but instead I just realized how much time I had wasted. I was trying to get it nice and neat but it just...
