    Pivot of reality and how to celebrate?

    MINDSET 
    The cost of leaving the rat race is comfort and conformity. Just like drugs, the rat race is doing something they perceive to be positive. Letting them afford Funko Pops etc. There isn't much to say that MJ hasn't already been said. It really is like the Matrix!!

    Pivot of reality and how to celebrate?

    MINDSET 
    You are unscripted, and you have a tribe here who thinks like you. A positive echo chamber. Your 2 friends would benefit from the book I am about to release. I take aim at both of their pathologies and give a "why" to do better. Keep up your posts here man, I am enjoying them!

    60 days later, not one follower on X

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    You are using the "reply guy" method. It's too much work. I have been on X a couple months longer than you. Only 200 followers but I have not been consistently posting or replying. Maybe once or twice a week, 10 replies or so. At the start, the only place people will see you is in the replies...

    Quick update on my book. The Author's edit is complete. Total wordcount: 32,812 It will be around 145-150 pages once I've created the visuals. I reached out to some dad-mates of mine to see if they would review the book and provide a quote I can use for my "Advance Praise for The Old Money...

    Feedback Wanted: Replacing Tax Season With a Year-Round AI Tax Dashboard

    IDEA MARKETING EXECUTION 
    It looks slick, but maybe overcooked for what individuals need. There's an app here in Australia where you take pictures of your deduction invoices (charity, study etc) and it tallies them up by category for you throughout the year. Apart from deductions and income, what do normie individuals need?

    To Market, or not to Market

    MARKETING 
    I'm planning an Ed tech app for my next thing. I plan to copy the launch idea from the great rat race escape: tell my co-workers and parent friends about it before they know it's my biz. It will be free at the start anyway, so I'm not scamming them or anything. Is your app really only relevant...

    INTRO 
    Great post Sander! Great to hear your hard work is starting to pay off. Are you dreaming of a big exit like TMF or will you keep the biz? How many hours a week are you spending on it now that you have staff?

    Thanks Andy. NotebookLM is amazing right?? The type of risk work I do is "Line 2" which means I'm more of a consultant/hand holder/cat herder. I'm not interested in my job in the slightest except for the fact that it is easy for my personality type and the pay is good. Even with consulting...

    The goal of the book is to make sales. But I dont really mind if it doesnt sell many. It's a product, and if there's no demand for it then I can live with that. I will give out free chapters for sure. Having bits and pieces in different places can make people interested in getting access to the...

    Man, it is good to be back on FLF. I don't know exactly where I went wrong after writing my 1/5/10 plan in 2021, but I haven't achieved near what I thought was possible. Ironically, my time back in the slowlane gave me inspiration for a book! I had ideas around money, debt, consumerism and...

    Why Having Multiple Passports Will Soon Be a Financial Flex

    HOT! NEWS 
    I'm a dual NZ and UK citizen. My kids are triple (+JAP). Personally I am opposed to dual citizenship as a concept. The idea that 2 "Australians" can go to war against each other (eg Russia/Ukraine) is ridiculous to me. Its also tied to the concept of "somewheres" and "anywheres". People who...
