    Help needed in identifying a better approach or where I go wrong (IT skills)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sounds to me like you're trying to force-fit your skill-set into the market rather than providing it what it needs. In other words, you're trying to double-dip your job paycheck rather than looking for a problem to solve and adapting.

    How Necessary is a Business Plan, Really?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    Every second you spend writing a business plan is wasted. When you take action, a perfect business plan will start getting drafted for you by the only thing that can write useful ones: the market.

    Books are my comfort zone

    MINDSET 
    Because you choose the comfort of an acton-fake the moment things get a little difficult instead of the discomfort of progress.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    It doesn't matter at all that there are other risks that are higher or that other activities do cumulative damage. It's completely irrelevant to analyzing the risk of motorcycle riding. Even if you want to assume that a given motorcyclist is going to drive perfectly so you can rule out...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    This thread is not about some arbitrary cutoff percentage where something becomes "too risky." It's about the fact that driving a motorcycle in a swarm of distracted idiots is a pointless risk. Obviously people can choose to value the "fun" of riding over the risk but it is almost always out of...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    "No one is digging for gold anymore so I can't sell shovels. Fastlane must be closed." I still remember exactly what I was doing when I first heard about bitcoin years ago and did nothing about it. It still stings to think about but far more importantly is it reminds me to figure out what...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    I get where you're coming from. It's like when you focus too much on the past, you become filled with regret or disappointment. Similarly, if you focus too much on saturated business opportunities that used to print money, you will start to think that the Fastlane no longer works or has new...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Objects change their position by being acted upon by forces. It doesn't matter if ten years go by or one hundred, noting different positional states doesn't have any effect on the underlying forces. The Fastlane is a book about financial forces so it will always be relevant.

    You are probably lacking in an essential vitamin or mineral. It's impossible to know more without more information about your diet.

    My Journey Thread

    EXECUTION 
    This is the best advocation for an education program I've ever seen. I'll be signing my kids up and myself as well if they'll have me. Regarding the cigar business, I don't think it's a good idea but only the market can provide the correct answer.

    I Make $15,000/month - 3 Hours of Work Per Day

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    This hustle is a slap in the face to people who use the bs excuse of not having enough money to start a business...as though you need a $10 million angel investment before you can start prototyping. Awesome stuff!

    YOUTUBE 120 days: Post a video everyday (Feedback please)

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Probably because creating YouTube videos just for the sake of creating them is not a business. What value do your videos provide? Odds are, the answer is zero because you're trying to skip steps in the business process.

    Face it. The only way to make passive income for average guys is inventing.

    HOT! ASSERTION FEEDBACK 
    Can confirm. I'm permanently banned from several subreddits because I on!y value it for marketing. My favorite formula they use is: Hello handsome, genius, and sexy fastlane members. Hope you're all having a wonderful day of being handsome, brilliant, and sexy. Bullshit sales pitch or self...

    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    Mark Cuban said it on Shark Tank. Also, given that time depreciates, there is a very strong mathematical argument to be made for choosing experiences now rather than later.

    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    MINDSET RANT 
    Having your back against the wall certainly provides extra motivation, but solely relying on motivation is a Slowlane mentality. Discipline is what Fastlaners use and it doesn't require being broke or the threat of starvation as fuel. Get a job, pay the bills, and then do the work needed for a...
