    Belated Introduction

    INTRO 
    Awesome thanks for the suggestions! I'm not set on a graphic design "career" and am willing to go wherever life takes me with this. :) That sounds amazing. Who knows, maybe someday those dreams will become reality. Never seen Teslas; just googled it and it looks pretty sleek! Awesome thanks for...

    Belated Introduction

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting this sooner. I'm super excited to be a Fastlane insider! My name is Nicole, I'm 22, and I live in Kohler, Wisconsin. I just got my Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree at the local community college (I'm a big deal now, haha) and am already enrolled for a...

    Dang, I had a great video game idea and it turned out to already be close to finished by someone else. I had this idea years ago.

    Looks like I'm the only Wisconsinite here, home of the regular 4 legged cow and lots of farms and cheese. How fun. I'd just like to note that I'm very jealous of those of you who live in California. :P

    So far I've spotted 2 others with the Audi R8 as their profile picture too. Nice.

    I would totally do that. I'm planning to get a membership soon. Now that sounds like moving with purpose, not just moving for the sun (which hopefully I'll also do someday). I have several non art related ideas that I'm actually pretty confident with. :)

    I agree, people with degrees aren't even guaranteed jobs currently. It almost seems LESS risky to start a business nowadays, if you have the knowledge. College also serves as my way to "ease into things." I'm definitely not there yet haha and college will help me ease into being on my own for...

    I think I worded that wrong haha. Oh ok, that's some serious success. I always like to see success stories of everyday people who made it without college. Did you liquidate the company?

    Hahah I probably still wouldn't do that. I still prefer solitude most of the time and find I can't relate to most people. I'm glad you had this success!

    Same here, college forced me to talk more and have a "go getter" attitude, but my goal was still mediocrity until I happened upon the book. After all, I only had my family as direct role models. You are right that college has other things to offer besides just "learning." Congrats! It also...

    Succeeding without network/money/knowledge/education

    Hi, I understand where you are coming from. The business starting world is intimidating and risky if done without thinking through all parts of the book. I came here to remind you of this. MJ was poor. He lived off a mattress on the floor and ate ramen, and he was alone. He taught himself, for...

    HOT! 
    I agree. I can't help but think that the people who didn't succeed on here, had that happen because they forgot about 1 or more of MJ's concepts and didn't realize it, or maybe something unpredictable happened out of their control. People see these overnight success stories as luck, but really...

    Thanks so much for all your replies. I just kinda went into panic mode today after the heated discussion with my mom and I wanted to maintain my open mind and get opposing opinions. I just couldn't explain to her that this book wasn't some guy saying random nonsense to make money off me. I'm...

    This is definitely all true. I guess I kinda visualize someone going to a website like Angie's list or something and picking the person with the degree simply because the rest of America doesn't think like you guys do. :P all the 5 star reviews might change their mind though...
