Does everyone struggle to learn code?
HOT! MINDSETIt’s like anything in life, there are no absolutes to any question you ask. Some people will find it really easy and some incredibly hard. Coding is the one thing in life that always came super easy to me. I taught myself to code Basic at 6, C at 10, and have learned other languages usually...- GIlman

Where to learn accounting?
You don’t really need to be good at math to do accounting. Really what you need to understand is how to do double entry, and different types of entries and how they relate to each other. Obviously there’s some advanced things like depreciation, accruals, and pre-payments if you were doing...- GIlman

Hated His Job at 40, Bought A Business, Now Nearly A Billionaire
HOT! EXECUTIONwell, if you have the skills to take a 500,000 pound business and grow that, why can’t you buy a $5000 business and grow that as well. The scale of the purchase should not dictate your ability to transform an underperforming business into an out performing business. The principle is identical...- GIlman

Hated His Job at 40, Bought A Business, Now Nearly A Billionaire
HOT! EXECUTIONAge is just a number. What fundamentally would make it easier for a 26-year-old to succeed then a 46-year-old. The difference is that at 26, many people do not have established patterns or habits. By the time people reach their early to mid 40s, many have deeply established patterns and...- GIlman

2020 Fastlane Summit at Talking Stick Resort... Event Info
MEETUPSI'm not going to try to talk anyone into making the time or figure out how to go. I believe that if someone can't figure out how to make it happen and come, or needs convincing why they need to go, then they aren't ready to take advantage of the event. I'd rather that someone else who would...- GIlman

How to Build Trust?
MARKETINGBe aware that there are state and federal regulations about data retention and transmission of SSN and other similar data. If it were me I would look at becoming PCI compliant to store and transmit this data. Data breaches of sensitive data can cost you a ton not to mention regulatory fines...- GIlman

I know my stuff is a little niche but can talk about starting and managing international company, insights into code outsourcing from both client and coder perspective, etc. I’m happy to share my years of experience, just not sure how many people it would pertain to.- GIlman

You copywriters are being replaced by AI..
HOT! MARKETINGWhen I look at ML (I hate how the term AI is being used because there is no intelligence, it’s just learned things from huge datasets), the real true value will come when it can create individualized copy for each and every person. Dynamic copy as it where. The ML algorithm follows you around...- GIlman

Rule One Investing - Opportunities In Coming Recession
INVESTINGAgree, investing is not fast lane. I use investing to grow my existing asset base and combat value erosion of inflation. Certainly you could invest in index funds, but my objective is to have significant regular returns from dividends that mitigates my holding risk. Years ago I invested in...- GIlman

Rule One Investing - Opportunities In Coming Recession
INVESTINGI’ve been investing for about 15 years now, i’ve tried all sorts of methods. There are lots of people succeeding using different strategies, and you have to take into account your own risk tolerance, and time to devote to it. The thing that has personally worked the best for me is the...- GIlman

How to legally pay no taxes... possible?
HOT! TAXES | REGSIf you are a US citizen, one option to explore is moving to Puerto Rico, although there have been some people pushing to change the laws there, so who knows how long it will last. But if you get in before these tax incentives change you are grandfathered in through contract with the gov for...- GIlman

A physicist's guide to learning hard things (and using the scientific method)
GOLD! MINDSETWow, great thread. Don't know how I missed it before. You really boil down very succinctly this process. It's funny because I never really though about my own "process" before, when people asked me how I had started my companies, and some of the crazy things that have happened along the way...- GIlman

How do you get past self doubt?
MINDSETYour idea may or may not work out, but starting a business puts you in a position where opportunity can find you better. Starting the business and talking to others about it is an opportunity by itself. It’s so easy to think of an idea as the business, but an idea starts and is just a product...- GIlman

Anyone else pissed?
MINDSETWhy worry about how others are living their life, or how they see the world. You can’t control it so let it go. Stop regretting your past. Learn from any mistake you made, but if you spend time regretting and self loathing your just wasting your prescious present time for the past you can’t...- GIlman

Ahhh Feels Great To Report a Business For Discrimination (another reason to go Fastlane)
OFF-TOPICIt is VERY hard to prove discrimination in a job interview. They don’t owe you a job for showing up to the interview, and as others have said maybe they just didn’t like you. The EEOC going after companies does far more harm in the long run than good. For large companies it doesn’t matter...- GIlman
