    Welcome to the forum. Make sure you read one or both of MJ's books. It will help you to understand our mindset - more importantly, it will help you find the Fastlane.

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for this thread Andy. I started a YouTube channel as well. It is focused on my hobby, scrapping. As in, scrapping old electronics into recyclable components. I intend to use YT, and other forms of social media, in my consulting biz but don't want to learn on that job. People in the...

    How much are/were you making at your slowlane job?

    HOT! SLOWLANE 
    Age: 60 I was making $189K/yr when I was laid off. I was planning to quit anyway, so the layoff allowed me to collect a severance for a while. My commute was 1.5 hours one way, M-F. Work days were routinely around 10 hrs, some longer. Some weekend work to catch up and some weekend travel.

    Spot on MJ. On a related issue, I've been reading about the idea of changing student debt to more of an equity stake model. While I'm sure the lawyers will complicate the hell out of it, in it's simplest form it is we'll loan you money for a percentage of your future derived income. Something...

    Thank you - that is great advice and I hope others will read it. Yes, I am grateful to RK for opening my eyes. Were I ever to meet him, I'd say thank you.

    Action Mike - please take a moment and reread my original post - the one that started this thread. I'm not trashing everything in the RDPD line. Like many of us here, RDPD was the book that opened my eyes to another possibility. Unfortunately, and also like many of us here, I came to see the...

    Are many members here not fastlaners?

    HOT! 
    As we all know, Fastlane is about process - NOT event. The person claiming there few "legit posters" simply doesn't understand that.

    Make sure you have a good CPA/tax person who understands small biz and self-employment. It's just too easy to mess this up - even when you're trying to do the right thing.

    Rich Dad's latest scam?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    And you can join the ranks of people making money off of deceptive practices. When did it become okay to make money taking advantage of others? Either write an advertisement or write an editorial. But why lower yourself to such deception?

    She might - I have no idea what those games cost these days, so you might want to track down a used one.

    Kung Fu Steve - I agree with you. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet RK. Hell, I even went to one of his seminars believing I would. I remain conflicted because it was RK that opened my eyes to a different possibility and I'll always be thankful for that. But his methods have...

    Should I invest in stock market if I am trying to start a fastlane business?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Used well, the stock market is a great way to preserve wealth. But, as noted above, you'll need cash to get your Fastlane biz up and running. I'm not an all or nothing kind of person, so I'd go with some safe interest bearing stocks while holding on to at least twice what I think I'll need to...

    Thanks - yes, I know about advertorials. My comment was intended to convey how shady and deceptive I find this practice. Anyone that resorts to this type of advertising SUCKS and will not get my biz.
