    How social are you with strangers?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Childhoods can be rough, but the awesome thing about talking to strangers is that THEY KNOW NOTHING OF YOUR PAST. It's a blank slate, a true tabula rasa that your past need not enter into. I love talking to strangers. It's kind of a hobby of mine and a near-meditative practice since to really...

    Youth vs Wealth - The Big Life choice trade-off

    MINDSET 
    I totally second this - and think it extends beyond 55 as well. I've met many *older* people who are able to dedicate a huge part of their lives to "youthful" living since they haven't had to stress themselves to death over money matters. In the end, I think it comes down to having an idea of...

    Anyone Have or Currently Creating a Niche Site 'Empire?'

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @mlk - Just have to say, I love your profile pic :) How in the world did you build up 50 websites? It takes me like a month to almost "finish" just one... Totally agree. That's where I'm trying to focus right now, 'though rankings/search traffic is so very, very nice... @MJ DeMarco - Niche...

    China is getting very hungry. Will you provide? (Massive opportunities in China)

    HOT! 
    Shanghai's still surprisingly affordable...given you don't need to have all the creature comforts you're used to having at home. Frequenting the expat joints adds up, but if you're willing to shop for fresh fruits & veggies, take the metro and share a flat - it's really, really affordable...

    Anyone Have or Currently Creating a Niche Site 'Empire?'

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi guys, I'm somewhat new to this forum and wanted to reach out and try to find people who are on the same path as me - both people who are further along the path as well as those just starting out. This post is a bit long and a bit rambly - please bear with me if I don't seem too...

    Article: 7 Reasons Why You Will Never Do Anything Amazing With Your Life

    MINDSET 
    I believe this is normal. At certain points, I notice my productivity begins to decline and if I trudge through anyway - my brain threatens to mutiny. It's good to take some totally-no-work moments. Hard to do, since it'll be on your mind. But in a way, I think the break-from-work is probably...

    I Hate Routine

    So true. You gotta protect your inner child and be fierce about it. I think Jim Rohn said something about this - not exactly about the inner child, but how you have to nurture like a mother and defend like a father. No one's going to do it for you - no one really gives a crap about your inner...

    Building a website?

    EXECUTION 
    Agree with everyone else - a rough business plan (i.e. an idea/notes/sketch of the direction, monetization options, and overall content) for the website is great when starting out, but you'll learn a lot while you're making it. And then mostly you'll just want to test how it's doing and which...

    My Journey Begins today

    EXECUTION 
    I, for one, am rooting for you on this one. And really hoping you'll make it in eCommerce or any other lane so it'll give you the time to develop this. Good luck and keep us posted :)

    I live in the world's richest country!

    INTRO 
    Hello and welcome :) This is a bit off-topic - but what is Qatar like for a single female traveling/living short-term there? I heard it was quite liberal, but would I have no problems walking around by myself, eating out, talking to locals, etc.?

    China is getting very hungry. Will you provide? (Massive opportunities in China)

    HOT! 
    I'd have to agree - I gave up my Green Card as well, last year. It was a tough emotional decision - I've lived in the US since I was 6 and I'll always consider it one of my "homes" - but when I really broke it down into pros/cons...a Green Card just didn't add up with my future plans. It might...

    Aggressive And Unsolicited "advice" from LIFELONG "Sidewalkian" drones!

    I'd tend to agree with this - especially since you have a college degree and motivation. You can make a pretty swell life for yourself almost everywhere in the world... That being said, not everyone wants to leave :) And even if you don't - well, all those slowlaners are actually your target...

    Meditation and the Fastlane

    HOT! MINDSET 
    @awanrmb: Are you Indonesian? I just moved to Bali a few days ago - found a place for dance meditation already as well as a class for the contact dance that you're talking about here! So if you want to do that again...make your way to Ubud :)

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Degrees mean very little if you're looking for a life of freedom. People who don't believe in you or don't think "it's possible" will only drag you down - ditch them, gently but firmly. Get focused on what makes you damn happy - not content - but figure out the big picture of the kind of life...

    Sold All My Stuff. Taking a 9,000km Train Journey Across Asia.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As someone who's been traveling part-time since 16 and full-time since my late twenties, I have to agree with this. A lot of people still think traveling is a luxury, something you do when you have enough money/time/etc., but if you waited 'til you have everything in place - you will never go...

    Do you prefer to associate yourself with your web site?

    EXECUTION 
    It depends on the site. For niche, information-oriented sites - I don't really think it's necessary. For business sites, definitely.

    Suggestions on How to Fastlane My "Business?"

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi everyone, I'm new here - recently hopped aboard after staying up all night to devour the Millionaire Fastlane :) My story, abridged: I saved up as much as I possibly could and quit my job two years ago as I felt very strongly that my job-lifestyle was not conducive to the sort of lifestyle I...

    general outlines about how to make money from a website (question)

    If you're making a content-based site, the most important thing is CONTENT. Everything else can be learned on an as-you-go basis. There is no need to invest any time or money in professional web designers or any technical stuff. You can buy a domain, get hosting, install Wordpress, get a theme...

    I'm Blogging(?)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes, blogs do take a while to get off the ground - but in the OP's case...he's not looking to blog so much as he is looking to grow a blog as a platform on which to sell his books. And for that, it seems like a really good idea. There are not a lot of 17 year old fiction writers. That's...

    Developed site, but what now?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    First of all - great site :) But I think you're right about the content - it'll really help you get traffic. I think good content is the easiest, cheapest way to generate traffic and get the ball rolling. I'd suggest expanding your site - instead of focusing on fishing spots, brainstorm and...
