    My 23yo kid now enjoys passive income (before I get to)

    He'll always be my kid. I did what I could while he was young. It's an adult relationship now, yes.

    My 23yo kid now enjoys passive income (before I get to)

    Last week my son received his first royalty check for one song that he produced in 2019. He has a talent in the music industry, writing songs and producing music for himself and for various artists in LA. I asked him if he'd read TMF and he said that he did, back when I sent it to him two...

    How does Value Perception help you?

    MINDSET 
    @Adelaide Thank you for that. I wonder if you've sold any of your product yet? For me, it took f o r e v e r to make a sale, and then equally long to make the second one. (This is due to the nature of the platform.) Was like this for months and months. But always, I over-delivered at the...

    What will you accomplish in 2019?

    EXECUTION 
    Here's something I didn't expect to expect for 2019: Invent something. I didn't know what 2019 would offer me. But January presented me with a single slice of an idea which I was able to build upon. 2019 is in its third month now. But every time I step back and acknowledge my progress, I'm...

    How does Value Perception help you?

    MINDSET 
    I've got to give myself a little credit. I did a "2X" in 2018. I doubled my prices and tripled sales by doing it. It's the "value perception" that really paid off. I'm on a platform (Fiverr) where literally anybody can join and claim to do the same thing that I do. But the number of...

    Is Elon Musk a fraud?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Good clickbait title. But... I didn't see anywhere in this thread any discussion about Musk in September proclaiming that he's taking TSLA stock private when it hits $420, and publicly smoking a joint on YouTube for the (premature) occasion, which was immediately followed by drop in stock price...

    I am in a better spot now - after reading TMF in '14

    MINDSET FTE 
    I knew things were going to change after reading the book. But I still don't feel like it's going fast enough for me. However, I've been working my tail off and, if I allow myself to remember how shitty it was -- collections agencies, state aid, borrowing/getting money from family, gf paying...

    Freelancing and being well paid for it can be Action Faking too

    It took a few years, but finally, I have a freelance gig that pays my bills. I'm not making bank by any means, but I'm fixing credit and saving nickels. I tweaked my whole process to squeeze out most of the admin in it, and now my time is used solely for genuinely billable work. What's most...

    I've been a loser now I MUST find a solution! Any advice?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There is a famous intro thread (I can't find it) which was featured in TMF or Unscripted as an excellent example of excuse-making and action-faking. I hope your own future posts will reveal neither of these things.

    I've been a loser now I MUST find a solution! Any advice?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I read TMF four times. First, one read-through. Second time I had post it notes. Third read, I went back through the post-its and removed them, and then the fourth read was "what have I missed that I didn't see before?" @Alexx , I haven't seen anywhere in this thread anything from you about...

    Can I build a productocracy out of this?

    Yes. I thought of that. "Replaced by robots." But in the same way, no-one quit doing their drop-shipping business in 2003 just because they saw Amazon becoming the most powerful drop-shipper in the world. I was once worried that I'd be replaced and made redundant by AI. I thought people would...

    Can I build a productocracy out of this?

    Yes. Human resources. I used that, and took the hit on my margin. Everything I've built has developed organically. When I began, I used a simple text editor and a media player. A one-minute audio would take half hour to transcribe like that. Then I found transcription tools that I could use for...

    Can I build a productocracy out of this?

    My story goes back to '15, when I was logging in here and there doing "micro-pay" digital-oriented work for the tiniest of tasks like... Well, it doesn't matter, but I did that until I didn't have to any more. I started transcribing audio for very low rates. I joined Fiverr, and put my gig up...

    Automated: A guide to AWS and the possibilities of scalability (Code and Software Architecture)

    Watched thread for me. Thank you @WealthChaser ! As far as cost. I use S3 to provide hundreds of very short audio files to be available to the public for a very short time -- less than one week -- and then remove them. I've been using S3 for over a year. And I'm a very, very light user of...

    50 yr old+ Entrepreneurs- Help Wanted

    HOT! 
    I really feel old... because I can't get the last five minutes of my life back. I came back to the thread after a week had passed and still the OP hasn't provided any value. Just because OP is one of the "old" aka first 100 to join TFF, it doesn't preclude him from being a ... and there is too...

    The Amazing Unknown Secret to Finally Unlocking Your Million Dollar Idea

    IDEA MINDSET 
    You describe waiting for all the lights to become green before hitting the gas, but it's true that that is just not how it works. You approach every intersection and make another decision. Assess and adjust. Act again, etc. I keep hitting better intersections because I keep making better...

    How do I raise Unscripted/Fastlane kids?

    PEOPLE 
    @tonyf7 I don't think you've got all that much to worry about. My advice is to focus on the healthy relationships that exist. I didn't have the luxury you do with mom and dad in the home together when the kids were over 8 years old. I was worried that my youngest son wouldn't make it through...

    Purely Unemployable

    INTRO 
    Thanks @Joe Cassandra you've made some good points. But I'm not really a venture-hopper. I have contributed to posts here and started a few threads that will reveal many of my action steps. In fact, the executive coach who I was helping turned out to be a supreme action faker, and therein lies...

    Purely Unemployable

    INTRO 
    Recently I've been frustrated with some of the slows and the lows that I've had over the past three years. I bumped my intro thread because I want to remind myself that my dream is the same as it was. However, the road is longer and rougher than I had thought at first. New ideas come slower...
