    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. I applaud your ambition and courage. My MBA program had a global focus and we spent a week in France visiting various businesses from small start ups to large international giants (Airbus). But the most interesting experience was that served by a small restaurant owner...

    (Almost) happy slowlaner here - looking for advice

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    You might want to go back and reread/listen to The Millionaire Fastlane or - better yet - read UNSCRIPTED. MJ speaks to being comfortable and what the "script" does to make us comfortable in the slow lane. If we're comfortable in the slow lane we are less likely to rock the boat. Having said...

    Easy = Sales. How Easy Is It To Do Business With You?

    NOTABLE! 
    Awesome example of how to make it easy for your customers, what a great idea. And awesome of MJ to start this thread subject. This is really important.

    Looking forward to learning of your success.

    A proper introduction.

    INTRO 
    I recommend you finish high school. While college is certainly optional for a lot of people, the basic math, English, etc., education we get from high school constitute a critical threshold of minimums for success. And don't just go through the motions to finish high school...learn the stuff...

    Hello from Sydney, Australia

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. You'll find there's a wealth of knowledge throughout these pages. I recommend you plan time to read the GOLD and NOTABLE threads. It will take a while but there's so much knowledge being shared it's worth it. I found the Fastlane later in life as well. The good news...

    Introducing myself

    INTRO 
    Interesting - I look forward to hearing how this works out. Be careful when competing on price that it doesn't turn into a race to the bottom. What advantage/disadvantage do you gain by working with local vendors and eventually stocking your own products?

    Introducing myself

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your future success. Since you've read UNSCRIPTED let me ask, what value are you providing. It sounds to me like you're just chasing money.

    Searching for ideas to create at least 1000$ of passive income per month side hustle

    HOT! IDEA 
    First thing I recommend is that you read either of MJ's books. You'll understand why when you're done.

    Starting from not making enough

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. It seems as if you realized the sidewalk is not a good place to be. Now how to find the ramp to the Fastlane? There is no shortage of shared knowledge in this forum, but you'll need to put in the time to find and read it. I recommend you set aside at least an hour every...

    How can you know you like doing something if you have never done that before?

    That might be a tad harsh. I know a lot of college grads that are far from "dumb as rocks" and are very happy in their life. Unfortunately, and based on nothing more than my observations, I suspect they represent a small percentage of those that start college. Some are blessed with knowing...

    How can you know you like doing something if you have never done that before?

    Spot on Knugs! I specifically chose an MBA program that was experiential focused for this reason. Sure we had plenty of "tests" but they were grounded in the real world - not pure financial theory. The program also had a strong international component. Something else to consider when looking...

    How can you know you like doing something if you have never done that before?

    C-14 my first recommendation is relax and ask yourself what you do like. Be honest with yourself and don't worry about what anybody else - including all of us - will think. This is your life. In your post you mention, "study Entrepreneurship." That can mean anything from business courses...

    Am I a Fastlane failure to want to go back and finish school?

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    You're never a failure until you give up. So what you must understand is are you giving up on the Fastlane or exploring a different route. Only you can answer that question. There's nothing wrong with going to college to gain the knowledge you seek, especially if you're lacking the discipline...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It's not that YouTube will not promote them. YouTube will promote any video that the audience likes to watch and meets the guidelines. YT only cares if the videos are being watched. If they are, then the algo puts it in front of more people. You're correct that the big creators can get away...

    YOU HAVE NO CHOICE

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    If this post and evolving thread do not resonate in you - you're in the wrong forum and should return to your LinkedIn or Indeed profile. I don't mean to be...mean, but if the truth of this post isn't clear and if your mind isn't screaming something like, "YES - that's it," you're just not cut...

    How was your 2020? What will your 2021 look like?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You can't make this up... Christmas eve my wife's doctor called to tell her the pre-operative scans showed no tumor! All four doctors on her team studied all her case images and agreed, it was there just a month ago but was now gone. They cancelled the surgery as it was no longer considered...

    How was your 2020? What will your 2021 look like?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    All things considered, 2020 was going pretty good until... I started 2020 having left my slow lane job and committed to the fast lane. Some of you know I'm just north of 60 years old, so this old dog had some hard new tricks to learn. My time at the summit and all the new like minded friends...
