    Want to get a REAL MENTOR? Swear your undying loyalty first

    PEOPLE 
    Such a great point. Focus on what value you can give, not what they can give you. You will get much more in return. The mindset is very Fastlane.

    Isn't it strange how that works? It's like it takes a life of its own and just comes together by itself. Great progress, you're on a roll.

    Some of us have done similar things. Sometimes it works out fine, sometimes not. You will often find that wherever you go, there you are. And any baggage you have is still right there with you. I have no patience with amateur therapists, but I'm going to be one now: How about thinking less about...

    From Barcelona

    INTRO 
    Barcelona, eh? One of the nicest cities in Europe, with the weirdest cathedral in the world. The Sagrada Familia must be seen to be believed.

    It may be powerful, but it's bullshit!

    Absolutely. Of course, some good things are deserved from birth, such as freedom and a decent education. The latter is often sorely lacking, even in some advanced societies. Especially when it comes to money.

    Reading Positions?

    Sitting upright is better than reading in a horizontal position. But one thing I do when I read and I'm sitting a little too comfortably, like in a soft recliner, is to set my phone to sound an alarm every 20 minutes. Then I get up and do some jumping jacks/pushups/situps/whatever - some kind of...

    It may be powerful, but it's bullshit!

    Good point. That use of the word "deserve" annoys me a lot too. Deserving implies that you have done something special to earn a privilege, not that you are entitled to something just because you exist. It's a sign of the "gimmedat" society we're in now. But as you say, it is powerful. As...

    I was wondering when you'd put down that heavy burden and be able to focus on what gives you meaning. Indeed they did you a favor. Full steam ahead now.

    Greetings from the Philippines!

    INTRO 
    Just thought I'd chime in here, since I'm currently living in Davao City. Not a national, though ;) One huge advantage Filipino fastlaners have is that manpower is extremely cheap here. You don't have to factor in huge salary costs and taxes and all that in your plans. You can pretty much just...

    The Seven Differences Between Winners And Losers

    MINDSET 
    And because it's not for everyone. Most people aspire to nothing more than a salary and idle dreams of making millions. If you were to design a system of education that everyone has to go through, would you design it to fit the few or the many? And in fairness, educating people to be good...

    (SEO Fastlane) Would this be helpful to you?

    HOT! 
    Ambitious stuff. I like it. Almost no matter what your MFL method is, some degree of SEO knowledge will be useful. I think what rubbed some people the wrong way in this thread is your copy-like tone, which gets alarm bells ringing for a lot of us. I imagine you write a lot of sales copy, and it...

    Agreed. I really like the writing/publishing part of this forum. Seeing all this in the context of the MFL is useful in keeping focus.

    Ricochet was plenty emotion evoking, you already know how to do that stuff. If you can keep manipulating the reader's emotions like that (I mean that in the nicest possible sense - that's your job as a writer), there's nothing between you and bestseller status. Well, except a little time and the...

    You are out there getting real business experience. Even if this project doesn't pan out (but I think it will, you have built up huge momentum now), you will have a flying start for the next one. Remember, you only have to be right once :)
