    Ex-Rocket Scientist turned music electronics manufacturer

    INTRO 
    Hey kittens! I joined the forum a while ago and lurked, but I only started posting yesterday. Basic bio: I graduated with an EE degree in 2008, and worked as a software dev contractor while I got my Master's Degree in Business Management. The idea was always that I'd own a compnay, but...

    Top 27 priority book list. Which ones should I read next

    BOOKS 
    I suggest The Alchemist simply because I read it two weeks ago and it literally took me only 2 hours. And I'm by no means a speed reader.

    Can't get up in the morning? Try the threat of a felony.

    MINDSET 
    Thanks! I'll check those out, especially Tiny Habits... I've heard good things. Update on my first "miracle morning" today: it went so much better than I expected, and I only got 5 hours of sleep. While I don't particularly like the writing style, he goes out of his way to make actionable...

    MY FITNESS SITE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    EXECUTION 
    dude, I cracked up at the "Lord please... give me gains" picture. design wise, I'm creating a website for my business right now and it's actually supposed to look a lot like that (flat design, pictures all the way to the edge of the browser. definitely good looking and--more importantly--not...

    MONEY Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom

    HOT! 
    This book is up next on my to-read list, actually. Investing, as I understand it from TMFL book, is the end-game that keeps money coming in AFTER you've already built a lot of wealth. Once I make my millionz, I think the investing portions of Money: Master the Game will be a huge help. It...

    My 3 year transformation(video)

    MINDSET AMA 
    Way to go! I'm 27lbs up, myself, but since I started in super skelly mode (6' 150lbs), I'm still DYEL af. Now that you have 3 years of experience, do you have a better idea of who's roiding and who isn't? It seems like you go on messageboards and everyone is quick to accuse everyone else of...

    Can't get up in the morning? Try the threat of a felony.

    MINDSET 
    You should check out The Miracle Morning, I just yesterday finished reading it. It goes into detail about morning routines, and is something I've wanted to really set up for myself for a long time (especially after reading The Power of Habit). Since studies show that we have limited reserves...

    My life sucks, so I'm going to make $1,000,000 in 12 months

    EXECUTION 
    veeery interesting. I'm thinking of specific instances where I bounced ideas off of slowlaners and they shot them down (in nice ways, of course, but they offered excuses that--on the face of it--were perfectly reasonable). Then, instances where I bounced ideas off my mentor or other people...

    My life sucks, so I'm going to make $1,000,000 in 12 months

    EXECUTION 
    I thought you were an idiot when I first saw this thread a few weeks ago. I think I just learned a lesson: Make normal people think you are an idiot, because that probably means you're on the right track.

    My View on Videogames

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is so strange, I JUST made the following post in another thread, but I think its more appropriate here: ---------------------------------------- ... I have NO problem with videogames, and in fact respect the industry a lot for how it pushes technological boundaries in a way that only the...

    Black Friday...

    HOT! 
    This was officially my first Black Friday selling a product since I've started a company and quit my job. Since I'm still early on in my business and hustling, yesterday I had to wake up super early, and run more of my pretty-little-thing I make to a local store that sold out of them. When I...

    Quick question

    Nonononono. First, I don't think "passive income" is what you think it is. Real passive income comes from a very mature business that you've built and employed people to automate yourself out of, or from investments that you've set up (we're talking about millions of dollars here, btw). I...

    Using Kickstarter?

    EXECUTION 
    This this this! Don't worry about someone stealing your idea, the problem is making sure it actually solves the customer's problem, then execution. Do a few sales in real life of the thing, then later say "hey, I'm actually handling it all through a Kickstarter now", refund their money, and...

    Kind of Depression, Analyzing my life untill now

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I found this interesting. I have NO problem with videogames, and in fact respect the industry a lot for how it pushes technological boundaries in a way that only the military could a couple decades ago (EE nerd here). That said, I sold my console because I realized that I was using games as a...

    One year of FLF...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This user gets it. OP, I'm just starting here at The Fastlane Forum, but this post makes me wonder where I'll be in 12mo. This time last year, I was pre-selling a product, something a mentor told me I should do before I even design and build the product. Pre-selling before I had even a...

    Ethics: Good Business vs Bad Business

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is a pretty fascinating mindset that the OP has. I'm currently in the middle of a similar situation: There's a gap in the market from the cheap bare-basics product (that every store in my niche carries) and the high-end ferrari versions of this product. I'm trying to make something that's...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished this morning. I've been trying to start a business for years, but only February manned up and took the leap to doing my side-project full time... and now I find your book a couple weeks ago. WHY didn't I read it in 2010? Thanks MJ, it was a fun read too.
