    Thank you for your vote of confidence! It's easy for me to see myself as just the opposite... ordinary person with ordinary talents etc... but your words boost my spirits and encourage me! :)

    B. Cole, thank you for these words. This was helpful perspective for me just now. Validating my decisions to him is far harder than validating them to myself--you're right, that's HUGELY valuable, and easy to miss or not recognize. [Rant Begins] I don't know if I'll publish what I go on to...

    That's amazing! Congratulations! What were some of the mindset shifts you had to make along the way? It seems like that kind of financial growth inevitably produces a lot of personal growth. Who was your first hire? Any tips for how to approach hiring decisions in a way that contributes to...

    Becoming Selfless over Selfish

    MINDSET 
    Hey Patrick, I think you're on the right track to want to be unselfish. Here's my story. For two years, I worked a sales job where I was making good money. Always before, I was broke. Suddenly, I didn't have to worry about money. I could eat out, buy plane tickets, get new brand-name...

    Just released my first Big Project, and need help to take the next steps.

    How do other sites monetize their business when their primary function is to connect people with each other? For instance, craigslist is primarily for buyers to connect with sellers, and it's absolutely free for everyone to post their stuff. So craigslist monetizes the site by only charging...

    Companies are entities, and hide behind human resources. They have no soul.

    Apparently, donating a kidney to your boss doesn't even give you any job security.

    Hey Tyren, So you know about Dave Ramsey, you understand about debt, and you're determined to do what it takes to get out of this mess so that you can build your financial future. And something is not working. But we're not sure what or why. (Just for context, when I introduced myself to...

    This is amazing. What a concept. I want to know what's on this list and post it around my house and office. This is simply brilliant. Repped++ I am only hazarding a guess here, because my own personal productivity is pretty much a train wreck - but let me try to contribute what I can come up...

    pay debts or use the money to invest?

    HOT! 
    It sounds to me like OP did NOT borrow money for the franchise. He came to this country with money and immediately invested a business in order to play it big right off the bat. Why? Because he already thinks like a fastlaner. It sounds like the failure of the franchise was not that it...

    Oh my goodness. That is crazy. It seems like your mindset is good, despite it all... That's an unbelievable amount of resilience right there. What would it take to get back into the medical equipment business, since that's your area of expertise? Obviously, you'd need money, but could that be...

    Incredible story! Oh my goodness. That must have been devastating to lose the Franchise on top of everything. I hope you can tell the story in more detail - maybe start a progress thread? But I love your attitude that "If you can do it once, you can surely do it twice." You're going to make it...

    I think it's relevant to note that OP came from Venezuela to the US (?) five years ago and has experienced a few ups and downs on the way to getting his feet underneath him. That changes the scenario a bit for me, as now it makes sense why you're paying such horrendous interest on your loans...

    That's awesome. You get equity while using their money? I am betraying my ignorance, but I had no clue there was such a thing as a model like that. Essentially, it sounds like the investors get a cut of a property that appreciates with none of the work of managing it, while you get a chunk of...

    AMAZING story! Super inspiring. I don't understand the aspect of working with investors. If someone else's money went to buying the property, don't they own it now? What's in it for you?

    I don't have any answers, but here are some questions for you to consider... Is it 100% paid for? Schooling plus housing plus living expenses? Can you pick any bachelor's degree? Is there a bachelor's degree that would be relevant to your fastlane business? (Even something like marketing or...
