    How to be a millionaire (STEP by STEP)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yes, Richard Branson is one. He is kind of the role model(as I see it) for the many avenues. Then there are conglomerate companies too, which have their hands in a little bit of everything. Some of those conglomerates are huge. Like Berkshire Hathaway. $14.824 billion in net income, 2012...

    How to be a millionaire (STEP by STEP)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Cool, I get it. :) Personally I prefer to say/see it as higher entry = more reward. I guess higher risk doesn't mean that you have to invest higher amounts of money. It can mean that your ideas are completely new to a market and in that case not proven yet to work. I then agree with you that you...

    How to be a millionaire (STEP by STEP)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Okay, I got it. I understand what you mean. Yes, I guess I just see things as possibilities(making millions from one thing is possible) while you see or speak of things from your own experience. I agree that most people probably make millions from one thing, then they will move to another thing...

    The greater the risk, the greater you can fall too. More risk doesn't mean more reward. But I bet you already knows that? These three things that I quoted, those have nothing to do with your story about your first million. And they seem to be more like opinions than rules to success? Or am...

    How to be a millionaire (STEP by STEP)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I agree, that statement is quite amazing. Especially coming from someone who had the ability to step outside of the bubble and think logically/analyze things. That's the statement I read in the Third Circle Theory free report. All for all, the story is great. The best is that this story...

    Are we the By-product of our Environment or Choices?

    MINDSET 
    Yeah, I understand that. If that's actually in the book, then the book got a whole of a lot interesting. I'm speaking of the different point of views of the different types of circles. I will probably pick the book up later. I think it can be good. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I didn't want to offend you and I'm not saying that you bend the truth by altering your meanings of the concept depending on the point of view of the "attacker". Well, reading my comment, I guess I said that... but I think it's just me that isn't that good at following the talk and...

    My honest opinion now... I don't think anyone is deciding to drive a car safely as they enter their car. They think (In my opinion) fasten seat belt. Choose to start the engine. And then drive the car safely. Meaning, driving safely could as well be the outcome? Am I out in deep waters? lol

    Are we the By-product of our Environment or Choices?

    MINDSET 
    Yeah, I was going to leave my honest opinion before. But I'm too nice, but I can do it now. I heared it all the time on philosophy forums. Lots of concepts and then the author can bend and twist the meanings of things as they want, or so it seemed at times. Because only them knows the meanings...

    Are we the By-product of our Environment or Choices?

    MINDSET 
    Well, I have a new theory for you. If you say that choices has no value, then I can as well say that people in the first circle(the 80%) are just as much following their purpose as the people in the third circle. The top 2%. See what I am saying? Your third circle theory is just like any other...

    With a little thinking I think I got it now. So, sitting on your toilet, doing your thing while the toilet is broke is not the smartest thing. Hmmm...

    Are we the By-product of our Environment or Choices?

    MINDSET 
    Why isn't a choice of any value. A good choice is wearing your seat belt when driving a car. A bad choice is not wearing a seat belt when driving a car. Or are you saying that, that seat belt can cut you open when you crash with your car. And that's why choices doesn't have any value? Like far...

    Bill Gates' wise words to spoiled, entitled kids

    I really did comments on all those rules, but I decided to delete it. lol :/ I keep it like this instead: The guy seems to be a huge conservative. He wants people to "work hard". And show "integrity".

    Just heard a dad tell his son to go the slow lane to get a Lamborghini

    Well, I still stand with my one reply in this thread. Everyone can run a (smaller) business, but most people want that secure 9-5 grind. I bet that if you help people out and boost their egos a bit and show them how it's possible, more of them will start businesses. In school we are taught to...

    ME vs THEM

    EXECUTION 
    I used to believe in luck in business. I remember thinking, "well, that Bill Gates guy was kind of lucky to start a computer company when pcs and the Internet was new". I think a lot of people believe in luck in business. For me, it took a few years to get perspective. Growing as a human being...

    This makes me sad. Kid getting so much hate for being successful

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I kind of agree. I digged up this quote by Oscar Wilde: "With every success you get, you get an enemy. You need to be mediocre if you want to be popular" -Oscar Wilde I just translated that from Swedish, so I hope it's a little like that in English. :)

    Inflation, Lets discuss

    EXECUTION 
    Well, in Sweden, the "Riksbanken" wants us to have around 2% inflation a year. I knew this already but I looked it up on Wikipedia right now, just to confirm and read more about inflation. It's also written there that 0% inflation isn't good because it makes salaries unflexible and investments...

    Well, if you are poor, then I'm sure that money can do a lot for your happiness. Don't you agree? And what about the kids in Africa that never had toys to play with, and barley got food on the table. Do money buy happiness for them? To me, money and happiness doesn't need to be independent from...

    Well, it takes around the same amount of efforts to earn a lot more money if you go for the fastlane. And many people are stuck with jobs they hate, right? Do you advice them to get another slowlane job or do you advice them to go fastlane and reach for their dreams. If not fastlane, then at...
