    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    It's also worth mentioning that cars get safer every year, so the risk of motorcycles relative to cars increases every year. Technically, some safety features in cars will extend to motorcyclists by random chance but it's minimal.

    Do you want to be a Billionaire?

    MINDSET 
    For me, one billion dollars is far beyond what I would need to fund the life I want so working toward it would be a waste of my time. And my time is infinitely more valuable than a pile of money that doesn't have any impact on my lifestyle. There's going to come a day when you can no longer do a...

    I don't know him personally but in our most recent DMs, he seemed to imply that he was going to take a break from the forum to really work on his stuff. Hopefully, this is the case and he's doing well.

    Swimming laps in a pool is the best form of cardio: it's a whole body exercise and the resistance of the water actually strengthens your joints instead of slowly destroying them.

    LiquidWeb: The Masterclass in Enshittification...

    If you put out a piece of furniture labeled as free, no one will take it. If you put a price of $50 on it, someone will steal it. We often use price as an objective measure of value, rather than assigning it ourselves.

    It's definitely a combination of both of the above: 1. Men, on average, carry the financial burden more often when only one person works. This necessitates a higher income. 2. Married people are going to be notably older than unmarried people (again, on average) If 2 was the only reason, then...

    Developer turned founder, freezing on the marketing/sales side. How did you overcome it?

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Why did you leave your job when your self employment profit is 0? Not only would the job provide stability and money to invest into your own marketing, but you could hit up the marketing team at a company you work for and see what they're doing. Of course you freeze. You haven't practiced it at...

    Sad: The Human Superpower You're Likely Ignoring...

    MINDSET NEWSLETTER 
    Yeah I like this analogy a lot. I think it fosters the best mindset in terms of a process focus while also instilling a marathon vibe over a sprint.

    I would say a general rule that saves the headache of researching every new substance is if it doesn't exist in whole foods, don't consume it. Or put another way (and possibly better): substances that do not exist in whole plant foods are guilty of being unhealthy until proven innocent. This is...

    MJ Demarco needs to exit Goalsumo and work on a linked in alternative.

    IDEA 
    LinkedIn has been trash for a long time. But more importantly, instead of requesting that MJ seize the opportunity, why don't you build an alternative?

    Third failure. I need help. I'm 19 and seriously considering quitting entrepreneurship. This isn't rage bait — I genuinely need help

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There are legitimately people that think they are hustling and grinding toward real wealth by picking up extra shifts at McDonald's. Hard work pointed in the wrong direction gets you nowhere. It doesn't matter how many years you can boast about your "grind": the results are the only thing that...

    Third failure. I need help. I'm 19 and seriously considering quitting entrepreneurship. This isn't rage bait — I genuinely need help

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Failing at 3 business attempts by 19 is actually an accomplishment in itself. You are so far ahead of the curve that you should really take a step back and appreciate your position. Even if it takes you 10 years to knock one out of the park, that would still mean you're retired before 30.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    While I'm with you on buying something like this over a motorcycle, the risk of vehicle failure when you're flying starts to encroach on the risk associated with other drivers. For me, the biggest factor is risk that is outside of my control. If a car malfunctions, then you can usually stop it...

    Like many other tools that can have a large variance in expected value, there are going to be winners who use the tool to improve efficiency and augment their output and there are going to be losers who miss the boat entirely or use it as a crutch. I would say that it's pretty easy to...

    Is who you know overrated?

    Who you know matters a lot when job searching and getting promotions, but in business it is almost irrelevant. While knowing the right people can give advantages, the entire point of the Fastlane is that you're in the driver's seat: with or without marginal networking advantages, you control the...
