    :rofl::rofl::rofl: I feel the same way nowadays. How did you pull off the capital gains trick? That's worth hearing about for sure. I'm considering selling my software company in 6 - 12 months. It's probably similar to e-commerce in terms of selling logistics.

    Slight leg length discrepancies weren't that big a deal to correct even thirty years ago. It wasn't invasive surgery embedding pins into the bones. It's an expandable brace that's pinned externally into the top and bottom of the bone under tension. It gradually expands over 3 -4 months and the...

    Wouldn't disagree. I went to one of those fancy pants colleges founded 200 years ago. ;-)

    Don't be sad any longer. There's about four million teachers in the US. You can always find examples, but I *seriously* doubt there are four million porn stars here making more than all those underpaid educators. And regrettably, my twelve years of complete boredom and forced servitude in...

    Hey, I'm doing a real world version of this next week. I'm selling an investment property FSBO using an eBay style auction. Partly for my own entertainment, partly to mock the "Realtor as All Knowing Oracle" myth, mostly because I honestly believe it's the best way to sell it for the most cash...

    You think? It's the only way to launch a startup that I know. You literally have nothing to show anyone at the beginning. The only way to get buy in from other people - team members, investors, banks, vendors, anyone - is creating a vivid word picture of what the business will look like in...

    Oh, come on. One question from one person and you're folding?!? Walt Disney, John Lasseter, Andy Warhol, M.C. Escher, Bill Watterson, my own daughter and about a zillion other animators, cartoonists, illustrators and filmmakers all around the world would beg to differ about the value of drawing...

    Huh. It's a form of time travel. Just in a way I never thought of before. No paradoxes, no space time distortion, no killing Hitler to prevent WW II. The more detail you put into the experience, the more it feels like reality. AI can fill in the recorded gaps with historically accurate...

    I really hope it lasts awhile for her. Maybe even a pathway to something more stable. The internet is like a 14YO girl with what it likes and doesn't like for this kind of stuff.

    I recall reading a year or two back that some counties / state governments were actively trying to ban Bitcoin mining entirely (or impose a punitive tax) because of excessive power consumption and the stress on the electrical distribution grid. They were freaking out about brownouts and regular...

    No doubt. I used to own ties. Then I gave them all to the thrift store and kept one "Just in case." In case of what? What kind of "tie emergency" could possibly exist? Popup wedding? Amputation? :rofl::rofl: There's definitely a difference between wearing ties because it's expected by bankers...

    Breaking the Time Barrier: How to charge $2,000 / hour for consulting work

    I sent this email to a couple friends this morning and thought it would make a good TFF post. To my knowledge, the author has made this book freely available to anyone who wants to read it. The download link is public and published in the book itself. It's an easy read at only 70 pages. Mike...

    Ah, I see the world view difference now. Entirely one of perspective. What you are describing is a nameless, faceless corporate bureaucracy that sucks you into its world like The Borg. If you're a small business trying to get traction and think the path to success is dealing with Walmart or the...

    I'm gonna disagree with your disagree. The problem is the time spent dealing with those early assholes completely warps your view of the customer experience. Entrepreneurs starting out don't realize those people are the exception and can be pretty much entirely avoided. They think it's normal...

    So awesome. You gotta watch some old cereal commercials. It turns out that Post Golden Crisp is the sugary-ist of them all, so we learned all about Sugar Bear's Super Powers. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GuC0YeAKPU View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYM1hV6HRus

    Is CENTS Destructive to Action?

    The saddest part about all the comments along these lines is the people posting don't even realize the CENTS limitation is THEM, not the IDEA. I've no doubt that any number of people on these forums could reframe any "stupid" idea imaginable into a viable candidate for Fastlane. Sugar water...

    Most of my library is 1,500 miles away in storage, but here's a few worthwhile titles. Organized in order of complexity. Same ones I'm using with my kids while we're traveling. Remember: You're NOT learning how to Get Rich Slowly. You're learning to NOT do stupid things with Fastlane money.

    The other recommended books are great, but pretty specialized. You should start in grade school with Investing 101. The hard part about open questions like these are having no idea about the person's current position. A poor person with only $10 in the bank is far better off than a newly...
