    Poor me.

    You know what goes good with the victim mindset? Blame. Toss a sprinkle of blame in there and you're ready for the sidewalk. Also, don't forget to put your destiny in the hands of others.

    Film Production?

    INTRO 
    I'm not sure if you're looking at filming/directing as a fastlane business. If you are, look at it differently. Everyone with a DSLR and knowledge of basic color-grading is a film-maker these days. How are you going to do things differently than other people? Are you actually filling a NEED...

    You Will Never Be A Millionaire!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It challenges their beliefs, their reality. Humans tend to have a "center-of-the-world" syndrome (I'm sure there's a scientific term for it, but, it escapes me.) You see, most people live life believing their reality, their world, beliefs, etc. are ideal and absolute. Then, when someone comes...

    Read this Copy...You'll never be the same.

    MINDSET 
    Regarding the spelling errors: @Andy Black has a thread here (I'm on my mobile and it's a pain to search for) that explains why scammers will often intentionally use bad grammar, spelling. It's to weed out the ones who are smart to catch on. On the other hand, I've known quite a few people...

    Time For Some Accountability!

    EXECUTION 
    LOL. My thread should be re-titled "Time For Some Action-Faking!" Ugh, reading back through this makes me cringe a bit. Not because I didn't accomplish anything, but because I realized delusions of grandeur are best slept on . . . keep sleeping on it . . . there, all gone? Good. Anyway, a lot...

    Self-Publishing Resources and Websites

    GOLD! 
    Good to know. I feel quite foolish now, lol. Well, guess I'll stick to stalking their social platforms to see how many likes, retweets, etc. their posts get.

    Self-Publishing Resources and Websites

    GOLD! 
    Here's a website @Supa posted elsewhere a while back: https://www.similarweb.com/ It's not a self-publishing resource, per se, but it's a good, quick reference for analyzing traffic to websites. I use it for all the "book promo" websites to weed out which ones even get traffic in the first...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Am I right to assume someone who needs a Xanax every now and then probably shouldn't be using this stuff?

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    So happy to see your progress! I've been in and out of doubting my own self-publishing endeavors, but I must say, every time I see a post by you or @Held for Ransom it motivates the hell out of me to keep pushing. You mentioned something about the "pages read scam" and it reminded me of an...

    Ohh Do I Ever Feel Sorry for Them..

    Majority of those replies are from the crowd that reaches old age and wonders "What happened?" when life passed them by. I love how the replies all hold a motif of scarcity and selective reality. The instant gratification is strong in these ones.

    Dump That Excuse Here ... Excusipedia

    HOT! MINDSET 
    One that I've used a bit too much: "It's just too competitive now." My favorites (never believed these, myself. And, it irks the hell out of me when my friends utter them): "I'm not ______ enough." (insert blank with any of the following: smart, young, educated, talented, etc.) Because, you...

    WHY we must protect places like TFF

    LANDFILL 
    I remember coming across that place before I signed up here. Only took me a couple seconds of browsing a thread to not take it seriously. Here's something interesting that speaks about this forum as well as the "other" forum. Our AMA's are done by our very own forum members, who keep the major...

    Help Depressed Community Members

    HOT! MINDSET 
    what helped me get over it is learning the science behind it. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to pinpoint the causes a.k.a. the shit I need to stop doing (or, start doing).

    What do YOU do to keep track of your mind?

    Yellow Legal pads, notepad on my phone, and a whiteboard. That's it. I tried all the mind-mapping apps, etc. But found they didn't keep my interest and I often forgot I even put stuff in there to begin with. They are good, however, for more complex ideas.

    This dude is NOT Fastlane...

    HOT! 
    I haven't kept up to date on this guy's shenanigans, mostly because I have more interesting things to do (watch my grass grow, doodle, etc.) but, I mean, is everyone forgetting he got arrested for running a ponzi-scheme? Yeah, great guy. I'm sure it was all justifiable, though.

    Afraid to spend

    EXECUTION 
    Not at all. This is what happens when you develop a different mindset and view money differently than the 99%. I'm the same exact way with spending as I'm sure a lot of us here are. Once you drop the habit of instant-gratification and start viewing money as a tool, you want to spend less of it...

    Good idea gone bad

    IDEA 
    Have you ever worked for a dealership before? I've tried automation before when I sold cars and you're right: people are usually turned off when one contacts them (unless they're special finance customers). In my opinion, you've got to make it more personal/casual, man. But then again, this...
