    Yes, I'm really a shepherd.

    EXECUTION 
    All these avenues have the opportunity for premium pricing and I have dipped my toe in, but will most likely wait until I leave the 9-5 to explore more heavily. I plan on expanding to at least 1,000 head and have the resources to scale more than the time required to market effectively for a...

    Yes, I'm really a shepherd.

    EXECUTION 
    Long time coming on this post. Long story short, I raise sheep. Lambs, to be precise. I have a flock of 233 sheep in the U.S. Midwest that I will expand to more than 1,000 within the next 3 years. I started with 9 sheep in 2009 and have grown to this point through partnership (more on that...

    From Zero to Six-Figure Author: Lessons Along the Way

    INTRO 
    This is very inspirational and I thank you for posting. One caution as a parent who has been doing it a while and made plenty of mistakes. Be mindful of what you define as "best" for your son. I see parents all the time who get caught up in that and forget that connecting with your kids and...

    Does anyone else dislike the "Startup" community?

    RANT 
    I'm in the Louisville area as well and get invited to "meetups" every couple weeks. As a redneck with little interest in overpriced cocktails, I tend to steer clear.

    No sales for six months...this is what I'm doing now.

    MINDSET 
    I work in the Agriculture business for my day job and my growing side business involves raising livestock for meat consumption (not a factory farm). I have companies like Memphis Meats on my radar (who Cargill just invested in) and think constantly on how to deal with that change once it...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted last night. I particularly found the information on money systems and success (or the lack thereof) as being the accumulation of daily decisions to be valuable.

    Gym is counter-productive to work. Or is it?

    HEALTH 
    It might sound a bit lame, but since this time of year is always busy for me personally and professionally, I just get up early and do the Beachbody P90x3 workout on a daily basis. 30 minutes, no thinking, no real planning. On the weekend I might add a kettlebell workout or a short run, but that...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    Much appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't tend to have a ton of euphoria because my mind is always working toward the next task, evaluating where I'm at, etc. Thank you for the reminder to at least pause and appreciate the moment.

    GOLD! 
    Well, I finally hit "Publish". I will start a separate progress thread to chronicle how things go with the book and my progress moving toward the Fastlane overall, but I'm excited and thankful for the guidance I've gotten here. Hopefully I can pay it forward.

    Wiping the slate clean

    MINDSET RANT 
    Great advice from ExcelGuy. You also might take time to review your diet and exercise habits since you're starting fresh. Getting basic daily routines established in these areas can really help center you as you move forward on your path.

    What Will Boom? - 2018-2023

    HOT! 
    As someone who is involved in crop farming and has significant acreage in a state where growing is currently illegal, I often think about how to position my farm in the event of legalization.

    GOLD! 
    Thank you VERY much. I had a suspicion this might be the case, so I'm going to immediately devote all my energies to getting the final edit done by the end of the week. I have already set up an account with MailCheat(Chimp). On a side note, since joining this forum, reading MFL and listening to @Andy...

    Will do. I'm struggling a bit between getting the dang thing out there in the world and paralysis from trying to make sure every aspect (website, mailing list, etc.) is done properly.

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    The series aspect is interesting to me. As I went through my old manuscript, I realized it could easily be stretched out as a series of at least one more book. With that in mind, I'm wondering if I should launch book 1 as the first of a series or wait to see how it does before committing. The...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished it last night. Really liked the structure with reasonably sized chapters, but a lot of information. Took more time than I anticipated, but I tried to digest each chapter before moving onto the next.

    I just wanted to say "thank you" for this thread. Seeing your progress from the beginning to now is very inspiring. I never thought I would dust off that old manuscript and give it a go until now. I also hope your health issues clear up and you keep cranking out the work. Best regards, Shepherd

    Hello from the MidWest

    INTRO 
    I am a 41 year old insurance underwriter in southern Indiana who is glad to have found a forum of people who hustle. I have a side business farming which is on track to get me out of the day job in 3-5 years, but I want to get there faster if at all possible. I have read both the free downloads...
