    My struggle to find what I want to study, advice would be loved !

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You're going about it the wrong way. Don't chase trends. Don't look at anectodical examples like Bill Gates or Elon Musk. Think about what you really want to do. If you're interested in business, maybe something like Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (not sure what that would be in English - a mix of...

    How to find good clubs for entrepreneurs?

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Ok, great, we've established that this works well for some people. Maybe I'll join a call or start messaging some people. But is there something wrong with also asking about offline clubs? I'm just asking about other places where successful entrepreneurs hang out? I find this reaction as if...

    How to find good clubs for entrepreneurs?

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    I have a WeWork subscription. Have met some nice people there, but it seems like most of them are actually regular employees working a 9-5 job, not entrepreneurs. I have a friend in Cyprus though and the people at his coworking space are mostly entrepreneurs. So I guess it heavily depends on...

    No, I didn't know about FLF calls (have to admit I don't find this forum terribly easy to navigate). You mean this? https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/tflf-call-for-those-getting-started.109323/ That sounded to me like it's more about mentorship/helping people get started...

    How to find good clubs for entrepreneurs?

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Yeah, pretty much. But when you look at the meetup section of the forum, most threads get very little response, except for some official meetups in the US. I’m sure there are already some good organizations out there where likeminded people hang out, who simply haven’t heard about MJ’s books.

    I understand how men are broken

    RANT 
    I don’t know how old OP is, but upthread someone mentioned he’s 15. I find it really said that there are few good role models for today’s youth. I also believe there are way too few male teachers, at least in Europe. I wish there was a better support network for boys growing up. Some non-profit...

    I understand how men are broken

    RANT 
    Like others said, you need to get off the internet. You sound like you've been consuming a lot of very unhealthy stuff. It reads like stuff that Tate's followers spew out. They're all losers. Think of it this way: If someone is really, really strong, is lifting a lot of weight easy or hard for...

    Are there any good international clubs where entrepreneurs meet up? It doesn't even have to be explicitly about business/networking, could be something else as well, as long as there are some interesting/successful people. Maybe something like Rotary or Junior Chamber International? Or some...

    How to invest excess money?

    INVESTING 
    Ok, for clarification: 1. Excess money is money that I don't need to pay my bills. It's not money that I don't need, I'm far from retirement. 2. I run a successful business. I'm not 20 years old with no education. Obviously when you're 20, you should invest in your education.

    How to invest excess money?

    INVESTING 
    What do you do when your income exceeds what you need to pay your bills? You can get 4-5% interest on USD, but as I don't live in the US, that's still risky for me due to the currency risk. Most people would tell you to put your money into broad-market index funds, but I remember that MJ...

    Surgeon Dilemma

    INTRO 
    If it's a hobby for you, keep doing it. If the primary goal is to make money, you should hire someone who can help you. You could then concentrate on being the product owner, which is time-consuming enough as it is. Software development is a complex skill. Sure you can learn some "coding" in a...

    Mobile Computer Support?

    IDEA 
    Oh, so for context, OP is 47, weighs 300lbs, he's unable to work 8+ hours per day, broke and living with his parents: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/what-would-you-do.108599/ Not sure what you're doing for a living at the moment, I guess you're living off your parents'...

    Mobile Computer Support?

    IDEA 
    Maybe running your own business is just not for you? Something about this whole thread just seems… off. You complain MJ hasn’t given you the secret to becoming rich, you have an idea (PC support), but then don’t even do basic calculations or take any action. Instead you ask strangers on the...

    Surgeon Dilemma

    INTRO 
    Why can't you scale your orthopedic business? Hire other surgeons to work for you? It's something that you already understand and where you have a massive competitive advantage. It's not like anyone can just open their own clinic.

    Mobile Computer Support?

    IDEA 
    Look at what’s left of that after deducting your expenses. Taxes (sales tax/VAT, corporate tax, personal income tax/capital gains tax), social security contributions, health insurance, liability insurance for the business, transportation (even if it’s just a bus ticket), maybe phone/laptop for...

    What is the Phoenix of Europe?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Completely agree with what you wrote. If you put Romania on the list, you might as well include Bulgaria. Many (relatively) successful Europeans move to Bulgaria, again, for tax reasons, like with Romania. But I have no idea what it’s like there, I’ve never gone there.

    What is the Phoenix of Europe?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't think you can really compare that. I live in Dubai and people from Western countries usually come here because of the low taxes, so it's usually people who are already successful who relocate here. Non-Western people mostly move to the UAE because of liberal immigration policies. That...

    That sounds like a terrible idea. You usually "attract" more of what you focus on (simply by paying more attention to such situations). How about a "assertiveness journal", where you write about situatios where you were able to stand up for yourself in a way that you think was adequate and...
