    Violinist seeks fastlane

    INTRO 
    Like @Gigi Rodgers said, end of the day having money is helpful. My guess is you didn't become a violinist to teach snobby kids how to play a violin. You became a violinist because you loved creating music. Having money allows you to create freedom. Then with that freedom you can concentrate on...

    Am I "Hitchhiking" Someone Else's Fastlane?

    Wordpress isn't that difficult to code. Giving up 60% just for the website is overkill. You might be better off working a retail job, saving money, and then building your own site for a few thousand.

    Been programming for 8 years, freelanced for 5, quit job of 3 years and moving to Thailand.. next?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'd freelance just enough to cover living expenses and investment expenses. Then I'd spend the rest of my time working on a scalable business. You don't want to fall into the freelancing trap of quitting your job just to become a freelancer (another job). That's a good transition if you want...

    Do you guys feel sick in the stomach when you've to fork out money for product creation?

    You have to be careful with every penny you invest. You shouldn't feel "sick" about it, but you should feel nervous. Personally I look at investing into product in one of two ways: 1. I know the product will create a solid return, and invest knowing that it's a gamble that has to be done. 2. I...

    Advice Needed - How to Build a Facebook Following from Nothing

    MARKETING 
    Why do you want to build a Facebook following? My guess is because you want sales right? Well is there a way to get sales that's a lot more effective than Facebook? Personally I hate the ROI (more so return on time) from FB, IG, and other social media. You'll build your FB page, invest a lot...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    Appreciate it. That was a weird time when I was trying to figure everything out. My parents were telling me to get a job. My friends were all confused with what I was doing. After awhile I started doubting myself too. But after interviewing with a handful of companies and seeing what my life...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    I've had a few of these moments. One of my favorites: At one point I thought about getting a job. I was done with college. One of my ventures failed. I still had passive income in the form of about $20,000 a year, but everyone was telling me that I was underperforming, that I should get a job...

    Billionaires Explaining To You Why A College Degree Is Useless

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The most valuable thing that you can learn is how to teach yourself. If you figure that out, then you're set for life. And as for your son, it looks like you guys have a tough decision on your hands. Main difference for you guys is that college is seen as less of an "investment", maybe even an...

    Billionaires Explaining To You Why A College Degree Is Useless

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think you guys are missing the point. The conversation in this thread is using statistics from 40 years ago to calculate whether college is worth it. Senators, Congressman, CEO's, Forbes powerful men... the average person on that list went to college 40 years ago. The main takeaway I got...

    Freelancing: I act like an employee, my client acts like an employer

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Freelancing is just another form of being an employee. You're trading time for money. If you want to be treated differently, then become an agency. Hire other people and manage them/growth.

    College is truly a terrifying experience.

    This is a great explanation. I spent my college years finding ways to slack off (learn the most important info, pass exams, skip all the classes where I didn't have to go, etc). I guess college was a good learning experience for real life (learning how to do things better), but it wasn't part...

    Gym is counter-productive to work. Or is it?

    HEALTH 
    To clarify my post a bit: BMI is a horrible metric, but it's the only one I could find that researchers correlated to wealth. Something like body fat % vs wealth would be a lot more interesting, but it's not something I could find. And yeah, high BMI is likely a result of being fat and lazy...
