    Medium my foot! Most developing countries are ineligible for these platforms. Medium, Substack, Gumrod, Etsy, TPT, and even Onlinebook Club can't pay me the $10 that I legitimately earned writing reviews because Paypal is not enabled in this shit hole. Not meant as a complaint but as an...

    10 years here. Curious what had the most impact on you

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    @Andy Black, the one-liner that has become a part of my thought process is:if you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice. You said this about being away from family most of the time as people try to make more money to take care of their families. I was forced to...

    Hey Fellow Fastlane Parents Out There!

    INTRO 
    They are my hubby's nieces whose father is joined at the hip with the bottle. Originally we wanted one, but they told us twins shouldn't be separated and we had to take both bundles. They came to our home when we had just our firstborn. They were 7 years old and at risk of never completing their...

    Back to the Forum & I started a farm

    INTRO 
    Much as that is true, there is a uniqueness to farming that beats most other ventures for me. For starters, nothing beats the excitement of watching a newly germinated field, a fruit laden tree, or the skipping of satisfied lambs. The smile of a referred customer on validating the quality of...

    Is Fastlane even 'Fastlane' anymore?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    A punch to the gut of us third-world inhabitants who applaud the government whenever it hands out hoes. Manually farming crops is what I am doing and I can attest to the fact that while the demand for the products is there, one needs ungodly sizes of land to smell the fast lane.

    I am glad you finally found a name that suited your goals. Thanks for the response. Perhaps you could let the fast lane family in on what you are doing in case someone needs your advice? In order not to overshadow your thread, I will be posting an update to my quest on my progress thread.

    May I ask what you eventually came up with? I am at a stage in my journey where I need to come up with a company and brand name for my cassava and millet flour, and in the near future, peanut butter. I wouldn't mind borrowing a leaf from you. Btw, the responses to the OP's question were great...

    Hello From Africa

    INTRO 
    Nicely put. What can you do today in the field of agriculture that would make your neighbour hand his hard-earned money over to you? What does your community need that you can provide? What do you yourself complain about often that you can help make better? For instance, in my village, I have...

    Hello From Africa

    INTRO

    HOT! BOOKS 
    My two main takeaways from the book are: Your profit is made when you buy, not when you sell. God does not need to receive, but man needs to learn to give. While the investment advice he gives may not apply to this shit hole I call my country, the book has piqued my interest in Real Estate...
