Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory
MINDSETI'm not confident that this is the future reality of most middle class Australians. Everyone is being squeezed right now and while you are absolutely right, they're being squeezed to the point of having to choose between a jetski OR the moto (so life is still objectively better than many...- illmasterj

Got Success Anxiety? This Will Help
MINDSETTies into Neville Goddard's theory that wanting assumes lack. "But as long as you try to get it, you create resistance." Trouble is, these rules don't work for everyone. Some people need to want it less (they put in too much effort and self sabotage), whereas others don't want it enough (they...- illmasterj

Opportunities in Pickleball?
IDEAAgreed on picking up these trends. One of our clients had zero experience in Padel but was very passionate about it. We built him a lead gen site and plenty of inbound.

FIRE'd in my 40s: I still want to build, but am lost in the transition
MINDSET QUESTION STORYIt's not a current state. It's that it's how I've historically operated when trying to get a new business off the ground. Maybe this is the fear talking and I need to embrace the constraint of building my next thing with 20 hours a week or so. I do have a very clear vision of myself at 50. It's...- illmasterj

HOT! CHATI get what people are saying about changing your environment and I agree... But there are also times where we can't (or shouldn't) change our environment. In that scenario, work on the skill or not letting your environment change your own attitude. Just keep your head down and focus on your...- illmasterj

FIRE'd in my 40s: I still want to build, but am lost in the transition
MINDSET QUESTION STORYHey everyone, I’ve been on this forum off and on throughout my Fastlane journey. TMF was one of the most impactful books I've read, Unscripted reinforced the thinking I'd gained from Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, and Choose Hard, Live Easy reminded me that my hard...- illmasterj

Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)
GOLD! HOT! EXECUTIONThe entrepreneurship Kool aid can be a bit much at times. In the end what we care about is leverage/asymmetry. If you can make bank working a job with fewer hours than the next guy, your effective hourly rate is high. Likely much higher than your first 3 years in business. The only downside is...- illmasterj

$2M net worth at 26: Here's what I learned so far...
GOLD! MINDSETIf you want to bar yourself, bar yourself. It's as simple as that. I'm not religious but I learnt this in school: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Honestly even the fact that you are...- illmasterj

The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.
HOT! CHATCome to think of it this conversation sounds like @MJ DeMarco 's heated pool that he mentioned in Easy vs Hard. Our equivalent is the Datsun or the Porsche that actually costs $5,000 every time you drive it, or the house that costs $2,500 per night. Hell, my nice car in my garage which I have...- illmasterj

The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.
HOT! CHAT@Fox I've been very tempted to do this with a couple of Datsun 510s lately. I have family in Australia and the best models are RHD (coupe). I've found 1 mint/original sedan and a rarer coupe that is "restored" but probably needs some tidy up work. I can land both in Australia and get them on...- illmasterj

Going Fastlane Like My Life Depends On It.. (continued)
GOLD! HOT! EXECUTIONNot investment advice but I would ease into it while learning both how investing/markets work, and how I react emotionally. Getting used to "losing" on paper is hard for some people. The lesson is that you can be "right" but temporarily that looks "wrong". You only lose if you sell in that...- illmasterj

How Long Did It Take You To Start Your First Business?
Too long. I wasted all the time on things that didn't matter. I can't agree with @Andy Black more. Just start selling.

QUESTIONIf I was born in Nigeria I'd probably be heading to Canada to grab a higher quality passport ASAP.

If the U.S. Isn't an Option, Which Country Would You Choose Today?
QUESTIONThere are lots of conflicting priorities here, and you are asking 1 country to provide it all. My take is that you are missing the real opportunity which is to view countries as service providers. This ties into "The Sovereign Individual" or "Flag Theory" thinking. Your best career is likely...- illmasterj
