    Question time: Do looks matter for success?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Both sides of the argument are valuable, but it depends on what outcome one is seeking, as the OP asked: Now, of course, success can be accomplished from having fastlane businesses, which is the route most of us are pursuing, while some others are seeking it solely through employment. If it...

    Do you get discomfort?

    MINDSET 
    This was once me full blast, in between I do have my days where I go through it, but when I look at the bigger picture, it helps me to step out of the boundaries. One thing the fastlane journey taught me is that we never know everything AND it isn't always necessary to know everything in order...

    Entering back into the slow lane

    Seems like you already are on the right path in addition to the great responses provided. One of the scariest things when we get into the loving concept of Fastlaning is the idea of going back to the slowlane, and there is nothing wrong with that. I believe the important thing is to recognise...

    Struggling with choosing my ONE thing - Could use some external perspectives.

    MINDSET 
    Firstly - your work is absolutely amazing. You know what happens to some of us creatives? We adore and are highly drawn to the beauties and the juice-dripping aspect of the larger picture and we get lost with the unsexy, unappealing, nitty-gritty details necessary for creating the foundation to...

    Has the United States turned to sh*t?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You DEFINITELY hit the nail on the head - The (D) and the (R) could easily well stand for Divide and Rule in addition to the official Democrat and Republican. We see it every living day. Politicians go at each other's throats when it comes to running the country, but at night - they're dining at...

    Has the United States turned to sh*t?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    A very huge thing I've learnt about life is that it is all about perspective. Depending on which side of the spectrum we stand, we see things in a particular light. When I was old enough to recognise that negative news get big headlines and front pages for ratings and positive news are in tiny...

    Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

    RANT 
    ...that's an excellent point there, initially, a start up was indeed a company which started, whether with angel investments OR with money saved to initiate investment capital so it could start on the right foundation and eventually grow throughout the major stages of business until an exit...

    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Wow @eliquid your posts are SPOT ON! I absolutely overstand what you mean as I have been experiencing similar for quite some time now and indeed, the empowering part of the whole equation is really being honest with oneself; this helps in sorting out the b.s. from what is necessary. I have been...

    Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

    RANT 
    Waw, ALL of your responses are so spot on - totally funny too, but so real. I have learnt a very valuable lesson in life - "When the masses are speaking the jargon, the concept is dead." When I am considering joining a group, making input in something or working with anyone, the first thing I...

    Best countries for "losers" (Overwhelming Majority)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This post is really interesting, though I will admit that I believe life IS what you make it. I live in the Caribbean - our country is smaller than a dot, at present, the country is going through a so-called recession. Our main revenue is petrochemicals and tourism. Due to petrochemicals being...

    After 10 months here, I'm still slow lane....

    FTE 
    When you say you can't slowlane, what do you mean? Is it difficult for you to get a job? Difficult for you to hold a job? Or is it that you just prefer not to work for someone else? If it is the latter, then that's the purpose of building your fastlane business, even in the case of doing a job...

    You're welcome. Introversion becomes a problem when we allow it to be. I'm not too sure of what type of widget you create; however, if it's something that requires 'modeling' isn't it possible to get someone else to model it? Then you won't have to worry about all eyes on you. Also, you can...

    In my 40s and stuck

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I am no professional, but I would imagine that abuse can shatter anyone in many different ways, regardless of what type of abuse it is. You are living a life blaming yourself for the pressures of your father that were inflicted upon you and possibly because you didn't gain an opportunity to...

    The Desert of Desertion is real... and I'm in it.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've often heard of the Desert of Desertion, and have walked through it a good times well, but indeed, super kudos to you, the mere fact that you are creating something from scratch that is worthy, that alone is a huge accomplishment; it is really cool of you to admit your pause in your journey...

    Do Any Of You Guys Think Apple Are Starting To Show Signs Of Falling?

    RANT 
    I understand the point you are making, but, at the end of the day, as I look at it, no one places a gun to our heads to purchase anything. Okay, so we won't deny the fact that apple built a reliable brand over the years and they have many products/gadgets housed under this brand's umbrella...

    From reading your post, I am sensing a number of underlying issues, and to be honest, I can relate as this was me. Given that life does not go the way we 'over'picture in our heads, a lot of times we set out to do things and the contingencies of life can easily throw us off. You've raised the...

    Depression because of a waste of time Need your help !

    At 34, I have learnt SO MANY LESSONS on the 'trippings' I made in my life. We live in a competitive world and while 18 is young, it is so GREAT that you already have a champion mindset. One thing I can surely tell you, a lot of things in life aren't always cracked up to be what it claims to be...

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think also - Privilege is dependent on perspective - in the sense that, if you choose not to see what others are about OR, better yet, choose not to have the time to focus on what others have from what others don't have, it is easier for you to focus on what you have and what you need to get...

Thank you MJ for... ...helping me overstand that I wasn't the only one to recognise that there must be another way - beyond the spoon-fed lie society feeds. ...helping me recognise it's okay/part of the process to fail, but to learn from that failure and use...
