    Stop wasting time - Choose your advice carefully

    The reason why we haven't is because we have 'cultural Christians', the same way we have Fastlane wantrapreneurs. I can talk forever on this...but that's that.

    Will AI kill the fastlane dream?

    - AI - 
    I think ChatGPT is actually GOOD for copywriters though. We'll be able to concentrate more on the bigger picture of the business (like offers-stacking, funnels), instead of worrying over every single eeney-meeny word. That is, we can actually return to being marketers-- rather than just...

    How To Change Your Reputation On The Forum

    MINDSET 
    It's OK...don't be too hard on yourself. Many of us need more time than expected to learn what it takes to master our industry, build our networking, and yes...collect more nuggets to share here on the Forum. I personally feel that when I first came here onto the Forum, folks used the 'tough...

    A Job Isn’t Giving Up

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's interesting because SOME freelancing jobs can turn into full-time jobs, given the right-minded client and the nature of your work. Even on 'freelancer' platforms like Upwork, you can still find lots of job posts with specs that fit a 9-5 scenario more than a side gig. I'm talking jobs that...

    Business Ethics- Kak vs Dragon

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thanks for the thread, although I'm taken aback at the sudden turn. I'm all for being honest and straightforward with the people we work with. It's less exhausting that way. Imagine having to craft so many 'stories' about yourself, while working on your Fastlane! Only a master politician...

    Annoy? I do remember MJ did agree in UNSCRIPTED that balance was tough when you are spending more time to master anything in life. Found that was the same for myself too. Remembering my time working with my first-ever digital agency client was a haze. Tons of copywriting work pouring in from...

    If water still remains boring, we can always add something to flavour it. And it doesn't always have to be something sugary! Some restaurants I frequent toss in a lemon slice with water...you can also use lemon zest, orange zest, mint... I prefer tea despite the caffeine content. No sugar...

    The SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) Failure, Nothingburger? Or More?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Depositors should be covered by the FDIC standard of $250,000. Malaysia also has similar protections of RM250,000 coverage per depositor per member bank. I see Singapore is around $75,000 per depositor per bank too? Key here I think is to not keep all your eggs in one bank alone, as the...

    Yes, probably we could update the thread title to '2008 Crisis 2.0' or something like that... I'm a bit surprised though how fast they are arranging buyouts and stuff...

    I actually do something like this myself on bad days...but I take it one step further. I go to folks who have helped me out before, and thank them for XXX support or contribution.

    Welcome to the Forum, and thanks for sharing. Take one thing at a time. Read the books TMF and UNSCRIPTED, which sum up this forum's ideas. I noticed from your profile that you haven't checked out either of them-- so do give them a read. As much as some Fastlaners here hate on college, my...

    Unfortunately, the evils like sloth, greed and hate aren't gonna leave anytime soon as long we humans walk the earth. I myself think the Great 'Depression' is already here though. Nowadays the kids in my age group are all about 'mental recovery', taking on more therapy or meds, cutting...

    Thank you so much for sharing some hints from your personal life. I can't say I nod with every one of Johnny's recent posts myself, but you summed up the maturation concept pretty well. I'm just glad that means he will find his way. I think it's still possible to get 'everything' done. At...

    What percentage of the fastlane forum users do you think are successful?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hard to say how many here are 'successful', because everyone has a different meaning and purpose. In UNSCRIPTED, MJ never once enforced a specific goal for everyone to follow, except for the ability to think for ourselves, make great decisions to free ourselves from the Matrix, and to build our...

    Schedule Dilemma

    HEALTH 
    Sometimes we think we have to cook like Chef Ramsay. We don't. Food can be as simple as just a few ingredients. For example, I just take boiled eggs and cucumber for breakfast, after a recommendation from a mentor figure. It is surprisingly filling and has the proteins or vitamins you need...

    One reason why I love subscribing to marketers' email lists is that you can see how their market responds...and see A LOT of the biz (or Slowlane and Sidewalk) mindsets in motion. As well as some biz tactics in action. So when I opened copywriter Daniel Throssell's email yesterday, I rubbed my...

    What the digital marketing folks don't tell you about-- are the midnight-hours they have to spend both looking over the marketing data and firefighting with clients or other departments. (True story from my side) So the folks can start out inexperienced. But the more time spent in the...

    Likewise, we can also get some time in with wealthier people who give a lot to good causes. We'll be able to see how much of an impact, smiles and recovery that money spent the RIGHT way can bring, even in such a cold world. I've shared this before in another thread, where one of my mentors...
