    Fastlane Insiders - Is it worth it?

    HOT! 
    This path takes no prisoners and fence-sitters will be left in the dust. Having said that, you absolutely do NOT need to pay for any information to build a sustainable fastlane business. There is plenty of information out there, and mulling over what other people are doing is a perfect way to...

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

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I am in Chiang Mai! :) I'm only charging $40/hour at the minute (for a long-term client on Upwork), so I have to do 10-15 hours to keep myself afloat. My expenses run to about $1500/month, which I'm happy with. Having a nice condo and a motorbike and some other comforts is crucial to me at the...

    Developing Fastlane Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    Hmm.. ok.. last post was November the 29th! I've got a lot of answering! What have I done recently? A few days after that post I had to take a trip to Laos to apply for my education visa for Thailand at the Thai Embassy. I'd only taken my Revolut card (bad idea), and it didn't work at ANY cash...

    Developing Fastlane Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    What's interesting about your whys is that, during the 5 years I taught myself programming, it mostly happened in the twilight. My sleeping pattern was all over the place, I would frequently get up at 6pm in the evening and work during the night. One thing that kept me on track was the fact I...

    Developing Fastlane Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! I've heard of that technique before but never applied it. I'll run through it the next time I'm stumped or looking to get to the bottom of an issue. In fact, to document the progress of applying what I'm learning: - I suck at discipline - why? - because I don't exercise it enough -...

    Developing Fastlane Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    I thought I would give this a try - just an extra bump to keep me focused and accountable to someone other than myself. Who is this for? For me, mostly... but also, eventually, for inspiration for others. It's only a matter of time before I achieve my humble goals, and hopefully it will give...

    Starting Out On Upwork as a Web Developer

    EXECUTION 
    Seems like a great place to start, but don't stay there for long. Build a portfolio site on YOUR OWN DOMAIN and start marketing your skills to the wider world, not people looking for bottom-of-the-barrel prices. I have 90+ projects on Upwork (before the oDesk/Elance merge), mostly 5 star...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Just wanted to post an update on this.. It's been almost a month since I left my previous life and moved to Thailand. I've had a great time so far, though have struggled to stay focused on my own projects. My expenses are covered in 10-15 hrs/wk freelancing, but the rest of the time I've pretty...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    That was another avenue I had considered. I think the problem is I'm not used to having complete freedom to do as I please, and now I'm struggling to determine what exactly to do with it in order to maximise progress towards my financial goals. I did read a post here a while back about someone...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    That was my original line of thinking. I know freelancing is just another trap. I won't give in until I've cracked passive income this time around. Thanks.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'd appreciate the opinion/insight of any level-headed members. I taught myself programming about 8 years ago and ground away for 5 years freelancing until I decided to go get a 9-5. I've learned a massive amount in the last few years working among a team of 50 other developers, but I always...
