    Greetings from a young man trying to turn things around

    INTRO 
    Honestly, I stopped reading here and skimmed the rest. The reason? This is me 23 years ago. Be grateful that you found the book and this place when you did. Whatever you do, don't hold on to this mindset like I did. Trust me, it will limit your potential. Mind you, I didn't turn out too bad, but...

    Don't worry, you're ALREADY a giant failure

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    @G-Man totally agree with your OP as well. Pretty much living my worst case now, so if I fail I continue and try again. I think most people don't realize that there is way more upside than downside when it comes to entrepeneurship. Everyone envisions catastrophic failure that leaves them...

    I realized along time ago that waiting in line for gas is not worth it. For me a disparity of 10c/liter (Canada) equates to a 4 bucks saved. I'd much rather pay the extra and get on with my life. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    The most depressing post you will read this month

    You can hustle your way to $1000/month, even on the side. Obviously I don't know your entire situation, so maybe it's not as easy as I think, but it won't get any easier as you progress through life and start earning more from your job(s). As @Fred Chevry said:

    I agree with @Fox. If anything, charge in full up front and offer him a finders fee for referrals. I think you can do it on your own though. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Do you summarize the books you read?

    I read each book twice. Once at normal pace comprehending what I can and once with a highlighter at a faster pace. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    @JScott I wish I would have read this 13 years ago. Our conversations were anything but comfortable. Thankfully my wife is good at that part. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    TOS has really good paper trading with a lot of functionality that lets you get familiar with the platform which can be a challenge in itself. As @MidwestLandlord said, paper trading is a lot different than the real thing. Once real money is on the line, your emotions get tested and that's...

    My best guess is they are 1) capitalizing on a trend 2) reaping huge margins on slow moving items. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    If anything, it will give them a good gauge of Fastlane vs. Slowlane. They will be able to see the fruits of your labor vs. the road most traveled and hopefully be able to avoid the trap.

    HOT! 
    I will add to this: They don't to plan their meals They don't know how to shop Their choices driven by convenience (frozen microwave dinners) I believe you are correct and perhaps eating healthy is just perceived as expensive. I work for a major grocer and know that the vendors with the...

    I think the real problem is price. Eating healthy can get pricey, especially when u get into organics. Mass marketed food products are generally processed, unhealthy and cheap. It seems that the masses would rather save money than live a long healthy life. Fastlane opportunity: Offer healthy...

    Day Trading

    INVESTING 
    Consistently profitable traders get that way by focusing on controlling their emotions, not mastering TA, learning systems or taking courses. Every new trader should start be focusing on their own psychology. Read the book Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. It does a great job at helping you...

    A Call to Action

    I disagree. Taking action is not a waste of time. It sounds like you took a lot of action and failed each time. Did you learn anything from your failures or did you repeat the same mistakes? Your answer to this question will determine if your time was wasted or not. Sent from my Galaxy S7...

    Kids adapt to change much better than adults. Having young children shouldn't be the sole reason not to relocate. The older they get, the harder it will be on them. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    You made a similar point a few weeks ago it was just what I needed to get my a$$ moving. I was so focused on picking the right business, waiting for the right idea, waiting for........whatever. So I just started and set some small milestones for myself to confirm progress and to keep me...

    Thanks, I totally get it. I hesitated on posting it because I know it can easily be interpreted as an action fake. This is clearly the easy part of the process and I really haven't learned much, if anything about entrepreneurship. Perhaps I have a case of Shiny Object Syndrome, but do feel I am...

    So I started this a little over a week ago, spending as much of my free time as possible going through the lessons. I also purchased a book to use as reference whenever I can't be in front of my computer. This may or may not lead to the FL, but oddly enough, that's not what's on my mind as I am...

    Dead broke or work and gain capital & experience?

    It depends on how large the expense of student loan debt and rent payments are, but I believe it will be extremely difficult to forgo a job and dedicate 100% to your business. I'm nearly twice your age, and if I could do it all over again, I would work a P/T job to cover expenses and dedicate...
