    Is it wise to treat myself now or should I delay it... again ? (new car question)

    MINDSET 
    I used to want an expensive car but don't anymore because I value a large house and experiences more than something I would occasionally drive. There's nothing wrong with valuing a nice car but I would say in your current financial situation, you shouldn't pay for one. When you can pay for it in...

    How The Hell Do I Get Users to Sign up for a Free Product?

    HOT! INTRO 
    I write full-stack web software for a job and one piece of advice I would give is this: you need to treat each pixel of webpage width like gold -- people can always just scroll further down to view more content but if you try and cram too much horizontally, it will look like shit as the screen...

    How The Hell Do I Get Users to Sign up for a Free Product?

    HOT! INTRO 
    One major problem is that great traders giving advice is paradoxical: if the advice is so good it's worth selling, why not just keep printing money with it? It's (almost) always going to be more valuable to keep money-making trading secrets a secret for as long as possible so you can milk them...

    Business models: which ones are best?

    IDEA 
    Web-based SaaS has to be the best. Personally, I'm a huge fan of solo entrepreneurship since it avoids the headache and profit reduction of hiring employees, but the cost of an increased scalability coefficient is increased competition: if your potential customers are worldwide, so are potential...

    240 is a magical number that can print money for you for a lifetime. Or you can ignore it and lose a fortune

    MINDSET 
    That is definitely him. 'Despite losing his fortune and being forced to return to manual labour, Carroll insists he wouldn't do anything different, saying that winning the lottery: "was the best 10 years of my life for a pound". He added: "I don't look back with any regrets, that's for sure...

    240 is a magical number that can print money for you for a lifetime. Or you can ignore it and lose a fortune

    MINDSET 
    Post tax, I guess you'd have to multiply by 400 to include the 40% tax rate. For example, 400*40,000 = 16m.

    Have I joined the fast lane? Or is this another bad move

    MINDSET 
    The only real prison is doing nothing: it guarantees you will never achieve the things you want. A job is almost always a necessary precursor to entering the Fastlane and should be viewed as such; not only for improving your work ethic but to potentially put you in a position to spot problems to...

    240 is a magical number that can print money for you for a lifetime. Or you can ignore it and lose a fortune

    MINDSET 
    Awhile ago there was a garbageman who had worked in this profession for several years. I don't remember his name so I'll make one up: his name was Dave. Dave loved playing the lottery on occasion and actually ended up winning $15m. For the sake of argument, we'll assume he took home $7.5m after...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    I definitely focus too much on the future and thinking about what I want to accomplish but when I step back and assess "the now": my life is f*ckin amazing even though I'm nowhere near my Fastlane exit. I work fully from home and average less than 5 hours per week but get paid for 40, which...

    I’m a Psychologist helping Entrepreneurs with Mindset Barriers - I give away Free Calls

    MINDSET 
    "Nowadays, I´m working on a new project. I´m working out a new framework helping Entrepreneurs with Mindset Barriers." Not to mention, being so lazy that he copy and pasted the same message proved he was full of sh*t to begin with: working on a new project for 3 years trying to get test...

    I’m a Psychologist helping Entrepreneurs with Mindset Barriers - I give away Free Calls

    MINDSET 
    I'm sure if you stumbled upon his Reddit account, you'd find that he's a psychologist specializing in working with disgruntled workers. I'm willing to bet he is just trying to use this platform to pander to its user-base. Edit: This post is a copy and paste from his last one.

    I'm kinda done with the forum

    HOT! LANDFILL 
    I'd just like to say that I admire the way you carry yourself on this forum: positivity or nothing. While some people may even need a harsh dose of reaility, it's often not worth the time. I am genuinely trying to move toward emulating your approach.

    Started my First Business... But Feeling Empty Inside

    MINDSET 
    Of course you're bummed, you f*cked up big time and it has nothing to do with business. Learn from it and don't ever do it again. All you can do now is slowly rebuild.

    When Fastlane doesn't make sense?

    HOT! SLOWLANE 
    The only cases where the Fastlane is objectively worse is if you've been given 6 months to live and it is 100% certain to be the case. In all other cases, the Fastlane is better because it generates income proportional to the value you provide to other people. Just because you decide to go...

    How would you improve your mindset?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The reason that you feel lost is due to the fact you don't have context for your situation. Imagine if I told you were in a race and that you're 10 steps in. You probably wouldn't find this very valuable because you're missing a lot of the information that gives you context: how long of a race...
