    Doing the contrary thing to what your gut tells you

    MINDSET 
    Your post is a little all over the place. I'm not sure if you're talking the value of being polite and listening, the desire to tell people off because they disagree with you, the perception of entitlement, your belief innovation is waning, or well I hope you get my point. Here are few...

    The Great Rat-Race Escape by MJ DeMarco, Now Available (All formats!)

    HOT! 
    Some what embarrassed to admit that I've been so busy working on my biz that I just now got around to listening to this book. I ordered it from Audible as soon as it was available, but it sat on my shelf until a trip to/from Miami gave me many uninterrupted hours of listening time. It was a...

    It's important to recognize that not everyone is cut out for the Fastlane. Those of us who seek a Fastlane existence must never forget that for the majority of people, the slow lane is an acceptable - maybe even - best option. Many have tried and failed to achieve Fastlane success, often...

    Feeling pressured to build a huge business to get in Fastlane but truly no desire for it anymore

    When it comes to making money size doesn't matter. There are many ways to "scale" that don't involve hiring a lot of people. Think of all the writers who have made serious $ and never used their own name? It's understandable that you may still be burned out. Use this time to think about what...

    Time to start reading intensely

    MINDSET 
    There's a very clear line between reading as ACTION FAKING and reading for real improvement. If all you do is read and critique others, you're action faking. If you have a knowledge gap that you are fixing so you can move on, you're on the right track. Just be careful.

    Is it actually true as MJ claims that starting a business doesn't require much capital?

    HOT! 
    If you don't have much money - or any - you need to think harder, be more clever and imaginative. That actually makes you stronger in the long run as your success grows. Nobody said it would be easy or fast. Sometimes having too much money in the beginning is bad. It can lead to bad...

    How does the economy really work? (Banks, loans, value, economics)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    That statement should be in gold BOLD letters. The economy as we usually think of it is nothing more than the system that keeps voluntary exchange for created value moving.

    Question about joint venturing

    MARKETING 
    I just happen to be in a business where - if I wanted to, I could have had the same concerns and been afraid to start. Oddly enough I now sell to and buy from two much larger companies that could easily do what I'm doing IF they wanted to. One tried and failed so they're happy to have me doing...

    No worries Joe and welcome again to the forum. When you finish the book drop a comment in the thread, I read The Millionaire Fastlane. That will put the corresponding chevron on your name so we know you speak our language. After you've finished the book, you'll find the GOLD and NOTABLE...

    Welcome to the forum. I want to reiterate what @EternalStudent suggested. I also agree with @Branko - 20 years working in the same field gives you tremendous experience. Hopefully reading TMFL or UNSCRIPTED will give you a new perspective or shake some lose that you can grab on to. It's...

    Taking on Multiple Full-time Jobs

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Only a lawyer can provide true legal counsel. That said, I strongly recommend you read your employment agreement thoroughly. Most remedies in an employment contract get more harsh as your seniority increases. But you need to understand what your employment contract/agreement allows. Some...

    Taking on Multiple Full-time Jobs

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Depending on the conditions of your employment doing what you suggest could be highly unethical. Notice, I said "could be". It all comes down to what you agree to when you are hired - what's in the employment agreement. I'm not a proponent of shady business dealings as they usually have a way...

    How to overcome the fear of overregulation ?

    MINDSET 
    This is just one of many possible options for you. I have always gotten over my fears by meeting them head on. When I was young I was afraid of heights. I started climbing trees a little higher each day. Then started climbing taller trees. Now heights don't bother me. You can meet this...

    Hi, do you also not like all the cheesy startup talk? (Saying hi, introducing myself)

    INTRO 
    Inspiration and ideas come from every where - we just have to be observant enough to see them. Not being from Slovenia I can't speak to the conditions there and what restrictions you're dealing with. However, many people have found problems to solve while working for other people. I...
