    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    I still don't really understand this thinking, I see it a lot especially from the USA and Australia... I'm in the UK and I own a house, so I have a mortgage at about 65% loan to value. I don't see it as an "asset" as it doesn't make me money, however in 20 years time (or less if I overpay)...

    Life & Work Feels like Wearing a Lead Jacket

    MINDSET RANT 
    This is how I have been feeling the past year or ten! very unhappy at the day job, running my own business in the evenings which is doing well. My life has just been work/work on business/work on house/family. I have a young boy and an upcoming wedding. I no longer have hobbies or leisure time...

    Who quit a good-paying Slowlane job and is now a Fastlaner?

    NOTABLE! SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    OK well this happened yesterday so I guess I've just quit a well paying slow lane job to go fast lane. Something I had wanted to do for years but never actually done it until I read TMFL, joined the forum and realised that this is the life I want to lead, successful or not. Hopefully my story...

    Who quit a good-paying Slowlane job and is now a Fastlaner?

    NOTABLE! SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    Interesting thread, I'm on the verge of handing my notice in on the day job. I'm not in the position I need to be in, I have no buffer, a family and a wedding to pay for but I'm finding it so hard not to leave anyway. There will always be "something" holding you back. I'm equally scared and...

    Should I try to change what my parents think?

    PEOPLE 
    You'll never change someone who can't admit there is something wrong and doesn't want to change. On the flip side, not everyone wants to change. They might be happy as is.

    EXECUTION 
    Finding the day job a real issue lately, I work for my dad and am "in line for the throne" and all that, but my heart isn't in it and we don't really see eye to eye on anything. I'm having an authority issue too, not happy being an employee. Past couple of years I've only really been there...

    EXECUTION 
    It's the 5th of June and the website that I'm focusing on in this thread has now (already!) directly sold more $$ than it did in jan, feb, mar, april, may (not combined, just beat the previous months individually with exception of May) This is telling me that the subtle and the not so subtle...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks, budget is irrelevant to get going for a lot of business, I started my company with nothing. Originally on a paid monthly e-commerce package and that was it. I bought goods when I sold them. It was painfully slow going, but at the time it didn't matter as it was just a bit of fun. By...

    Should I buy a car?

    MINDSET 
    End of 2014 I ordered a brand new Range Rover.. I ran it for almost a year and loved it, but it was obviously quite expensive and whilst I could afford it, I hit a problem with expanding my business as I needed every available penny, this resulted in having to sell the car as I had to stop...

    Came to an interesting realization earlier

    I 100% advocate diversification and multiple income streams, but not necessarily via different companies. Multiple companies are good if they don't require your time to produce the end result, i.e you have staff or automation systems as you'll need the time to run it i.e accounts, decision...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi, pretty good this month really. I've been on vacation for the past week or so which means we've not done much "new" stuff. However the hard work appears to be paying off. This month we're at $40,000 so far. But more importantly, direct website sales are significantly up!! That's what I've...

    I have an idea! But I dont know where to start!

    IDEA 
    It depends how big the product is really. But the best bet is to at least start. Inaction is the worst thing ever. Ideas are ten a penny, execution is key. I have had an idea for a bit of software for ages now, it's not groundbreaking, it's not new, but I think it'd fill a small void and be a...

    How do I SURVIVE a Recession?

    INVESTING 
    All my dad ever goes on about is the recession this and the recession that, blames it for the business struggles and the current situation he's in. Yes it made it harder of course, but he never adapted in my opinion. Always does what he always did. But ultimately there is money in every...

    EXECUTION 
    It's just an excuse, a limiting excuse. I go to my unit 1 maybe 2 times a month...... I keep in touch daily with my staff via Trello and I reply to emails on the go. I could spend most of my time anywhere in the world if I wanted to. (want to be tied to a single location? get married and have a...

    EXECUTION 
    I was a bit like this, maybe not making as much money at the time. Although you don't say what region you're making so I don't know. But come on, you can get a Basepoint (or similar) serviced office for £550 a month, plenty of other easy in-easy out business centres around. In one month, gone...

    EXECUTION 
    Another month, another post... So last month closed at $25,000 However, a lot of those sales were of an item we have in stock from a large acquisition which is great as it's meant the company has caught up significantly with some debt. What have I done last month? Not much if I'm honest...

    How do you tell if an idea is a good idea before investing time and money?

    IDEA 
    I've recently created a sales based start up with a web based platform, we've jumped into it (I brought a business partner onboard) and have spent approx $10,000... site isn't yet complete and we've got no sales lined up so it's starting from scratch and a bit unknown. It should work out but...
