    How To Get The Best Feedback

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for the post @Roli! The way I see it, feedback is critical in anything we do, whether it's launching a huge business idea or just handing in an assignment at school. As you said, we have grown up to appreciate the feedback received, since as babies and children, we get scolded for the...

    How much does a Lamborghini really cost?

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for the post Andrew! Although quite dated, your post highlights the multitude of lows that entrepreneurs face. Everyone's story is different, but the pains are always there. Funny how, after a successful breakthrough, the brain doesn't really compute the hardships endured (think a young...

    From Chef to Entrepreneur (How anyone can be successful)

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the reply @Spenny! You're right. It's the uncertainty of what the future might hold, if you give up the 'security' of a 9-5 job. If you've had the FTE, you're willing to take on any risks not to go back to the mediocre life of before. Thanks for pointing it out :)

    Young fastlaners: SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

    GOLD! HOT! 
    As a young Fastlaner myself, I 100% agree with shutting down all Social Media, or at least not being active on there. From personal experience, I would also extend your argument to a great lesson I learned from @Andy Black : the reduction of consumption in favour of production. What I mean...

    How's Your Work/Life Balance?

    MINDSET 
    First of all, I would like to thank you for this post. Ever since reading MJ's books I had formed this idea that balance doesn't really exist. Meaning, to be above average in something, you have to give up something else. So for example, focusing on your business might take away time from...

    From Chef to Entrepreneur (How anyone can be successful)

    EXECUTION 
    I recently had a chance encounter with a great chef, where after telling me his story, I realized how timeless certain principles are in the road to success. So here’s the story (changed slightly to better fit the context) to try and put across what I have learned from him. How a Chef become an...

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    First up, thank you for this post, further helping cementing the belief of help others first, then money will follow. The line quoted above truly defines what is meant by a brand. Most companies out there, as you said, are out for your cash, and will sometimes neglect their own customers just...

    I like the comparison you made about something which actually helps by talking about it. Thanks for the insight!

    The rarest Reddit find of all... actual gold. (Legendary Comic)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Really enjoyed this post, thank you for posting! I guess this really portrays action faking to the fullest. A key take away as well is that sometimes, not talking about your goals or dreaming big could actually be beneficial if you're putting in the work. I guess if you talk to someone about...

    The most cringe part of the entrepreneur community

    MINDSET RANT 
    I 100% agree with your statement here. It's like the person who played with fire and got burnt one time, so decides that all fire is bad. I also like the point you made on the investment part, where when you actually invest money into something, even if it turns out to be a flop, you'll end up...

    Am I violating the Law of Effection with a micro niche strategy?

    MARKETING 
    I think your strategy is a great way to start! Not only will you get to test out your skills in the field, you'll be able to adjust them according to real life scenarios. As a plus, since your going very detailed in a very small group, if you offer immense value to one customer, they'll...

    Getting started is this simple...

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for the post @RHL, it really captures how I was viewing things. I feel like, at least in my case, we have this mentality that someone is going to approach us with a problem, describe how it should be solved and then tells us to do it. It's kind of like being back at school, faced with a...

    Save Yourself Years Of Frustration; It Worked For Me!

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Thank you for the post MustImprove, you have a really good style of writing that captivates the reader. My key takeaway from this post is that it's important to start small and build up your reputation as a problem solver. Your focus or your aim shouldn't be to make big bucks, but to somehow...

    Learnings from 3,000+ PMs with fellow forum members

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thank you for the post Andy! I have been aware that I tend to over complicate things in my life, adding in unnecessary steps and procedures, making sure everything goes the right way. But recently, I have decided to let go and be more grateful with the little things and accept them as they are...

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Interested to see your progress into the future! I'm currently in a somewhat similar situation to yours, albeit don't have any side projects yet. I'm more focused on learning new skills to then apply them further down the line (mainly coding). Good Luck!

    My 5 STEPS to Ultimate Time and Financial Freedom (How I Did It) !!

    MINDSET 
    This has actually been my opinion ever since I was made aware of Fastlane entrepreneurship. I have been paying more attention to the little social cues everyone puts out and notice how some people really think in terms of the Sidewalk or the Slowlane, concepts mentioned in the first book. Also...

    My 5 STEPS to Ultimate Time and Financial Freedom (How I Did It) !!

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for the post @fastlane_dad! I totally agree with your step 1. While many on the web will tell you to ditch school and work on your own growth, I wholeheartedly believe that having a good education/degree which leads to a better job down the line is a better option. That's why I have...

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thank you for this post Andy! I realized that I have been lurking a good deal of my life, preferring to stay back and consume media rather than producing. Sometimes I find it hard where I should start, since the web is filled with online courses promising you a guided route to wealth; I don't...

    On starting your entrepreneurial journey

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Decided to share a journal entry I made a couple of days ago, thought it might help: - Thanks to the internet, there are a million and one ways to generate income online. This can be considered as passive income, since you will work extremely hard to put something out there, to produce a...
