    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Off topic a bit...but would you go into auto sales for an entry level job to learn sales/get decently quick cash? (compared to having to build a book as a financial advisor, insurance rep, etc). In selecting a dealership, would you select the one with a shortage of reps to try and get the most...

    Tai Lopez Drinking Game

    FUNNY 
    Here in my garage...with my new Ferrari that's fun to drive up here in the hollywood hills. But you know what I like more than fast cars? Books. "Want to know how you get these expensive cars? Drop out of college!" errrr something like that. Usually all that gets spoken of in the 5-10 sec I...

    Why don't more people tutor?

    MINDSET 
    Thought about this. Khanacademy is already great for learning for free. Granted it might only be a couple of problems, but covers a pretty wide variety of sites. Guess I could do more marketing and such to make me stand out, as I'm not sure they advertise enough to schools. In response to...

    Returning to the Slow lane after 3 weeks off. I think I know the answer but what should I do next?

    FTE 
    Quitting any job is out of the question. You have low debt, which is great. Do you have a business idea? Keep working on scaling it if you do. Traveling an hour each way to a job is atrocious. Break down your pay/hr with all the time you spend on it (getting ready, travel, actually working...

    People and their poor choices

    MINDSET RANT 
    As they say, you can lead the horse to the water but you can't make them drink. Maybe they use no time as an excuse because they don't know how to get started on their dreams? Otherwise, they probably don't want it bad enough. You don't need to write a book, because all the books have been...

    Just got married... Now I feel restricted and powerless

    MINDSET RANT 
    This is one reason I am always in control of the intimacy and make sure to pull out. I don't have my shit together either, and if I ever found out I had a kid on the way, I'd probably jump off a cliff (in my mind; probably just become sickly depressed). You gotta go quick, man. They will...

    Money issues

    HOT! MINDSET 
    First, you have to make a commitment to change your habits. Second, you don't need anyone to teach you how to manage your money. This is all easily found with a simple Google search. Spend less (but ideally, make more money), automate your finances, stop wasting money on shit you don't need...

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    That was the huge deal concerning the dealerships around here. The hours+days worked. I hate being confined to one spot all day. Sure, I'd be plowing away at emails/leads and such, but what the hell do you do for the 8 hours on weekdays when most people work jobs? Surely there can't be very...

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    Poker isn't really fastlane, but I always want to stick around it due to being able to make money in a bind, able to make money online and free of location (can go play at any casino, but mainly log on from anywhere in the world), etc. I actually just wanted to move up to a level again where I...

    "I can't afford to travel"

    MINDSET RANT 
    No, but if you want to build an online business for cheap and you're not getting paid from it for awhile, combined with the fact you want to be out of a cubicle, it may not be that bad. Everyone is different and you'll never know until you try it. Personally, I'd love to travel around for...

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    Thanks for the response! My questions (for anyone) also involve the Sales Training process. How great was the training at these places and did it actually work...or did you go out on your own to study sales? Meaning, do these companies selling everyday products really teach you how to sell...

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    Definitely didnt take it harshly because your replies are exactly what I was thinking in terms of what I needed to do. Give the customer what they want and sell, sell, sell without giving my honest, "fastlane" opinion. I am there to do a job and thats what I should do. Dont think I can do a...

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    To add, I also thought about financial advisor, but once again, dont believe in stock market to making you wealthy. Do you just ignore your own mindset and realize for most people these are the things they want and/or need, so u take the job to work on underlying skills only?

    Back to the 9-5...Sales Job Questions

    So, I quit my cubicle job almost a year ago to move from a metro area back to a suburb near a college town. My girlfriend got the same job there and I wanted out of my job, so I took it as an excuse for a change; hoping to do big things. One year later, as they always say, I am still where I...

    The fastlane for extroverts

    This is vastly overdone already. All of the top notch sites have created these several years ago and produce some pretty great content. I can only laugh when new ones come onto the market. Plenty of winning pros out there, though, that all the casual players attach to...so maybe they can...

    Facing a Huge Decision, Need Some Honest Opinions

    MINDSET 
    Not sure what the job will do, but $15/hr is really junk pay. I sat in cushy cubicle job browsing internet as an UW and reading TMF type of stuff for $38kish a year, and that was around $18/hr+. I cringe thinking of going back to anything like that job, let alone anything less. I'd rather...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Haha perfectly said. It's a way to make use of your time and make money, but not an overly big way to be productive long term. Basically have to decide from the get-go what your long term goals are for flipping...going to scale massively, create a website, hunt like mad to resell on...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I quit flipping...spent about 8-9 months on it (10/1/14 was first buy), and just slowly selling off what game stock I have left. Mainly flipped Video Games. Made about $7k profit so far...this is after any online fees, shipping costs, supplies, etc. Doesn't account for gas spent, unless i...
