    Can we talk about PhDs?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread! A lot of what you said really resonates with me. I definitely know what you mean by the system trying to ruin your love for a subject. Looking back, I wish I would have done it the way you did - get in the fastlane then pursue a PhD. In...

    Can we talk about PhDs?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Thank you for your insightful and motivating reply! My PhD is in Geophysics (MS Geophysics, BS Physics), so definitely not business-related. I think a large part of why I feel so behind is because I haven't yet learned which skills I've gained in my science career carry over to the business...

    Can we talk about PhDs?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Thank you for the congratulations and your perspective! I'm very flattered by your impression of my capability to stick with difficult things. I have confidence in my abilities, but also I don't... I suppose I need to reflect a bit more on my Imposter Syndrome affliction. Congratulations to you...

    Thank you! I really appreciate the congratulations and the reminder that it's okay (and necessary) to take constructive breaks. What field of study are you pursuing in undergrad?

    Can we talk about PhDs?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Hello, Earlier this year I completed my PhD. I often tell people it's the stupidest thing I've ever done. I feel burnt out and bitter and like I wasted a ton of time, energy, and money. I feel like I am so far behind in life because of it. At the same time I do realize that a lot of good has...

    "33 Incredible Millionaire Statistics [2022]" - article discussion

    CHAT 
    Thanks for sharing that enlightening article! Though it offers only a summary of the full sociological study, it starts to shed some light on why there's a disproportionately small number of "self made" women millionaires. You'll have to point me to the statistics on the divorce rate of these...

    "33 Incredible Millionaire Statistics [2022]" - article discussion

    CHAT 
    I stumbled upon this short article and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in discussing it. My initial thoughts: 1. "Having $1 million puts you in the top 10% of wealth in the U.S." $1 million isn't really a whole lot, yet it puts you in the top 10% in the US ... This is kind of...

    How to start again? Need your thoughts

    SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET 
    How are you wasting your time? Maybe make a conscious effort to stop wasting your time when you find yourself wasting time? For example if you wast time mindlessly scrolling on Instagram, try to catch yourself and then put your phone aside and do something more productive. It sounds to me like...

    The Sober Niche, reaching out to people

    QUESTION 
    Perhaps you could use social media to ask for the people you're looking for to step forward and reach out to you? Maybe Facebook? My town has several town groups where community members can connect with one another. The Nextdoor app could be another possibility. Maybe you could make a few flyers...

    What should I do for college?

    MINDSET 
    It's great and impressive that you're reading MJ's book(s?) at such a young age! College doesn't necessarily have to be a waste of time and money, though it easily can. As a recent college graduate, here's my advice: Everyone will have their own opinions and advice on college that are formed...

    When the silent whisper became a ROAR

    INTRO 
    Your story is inspiring and I'm cheering for you. So many people are unhappy but unwilling to do anything about it. You're obviously action-oriented and I think it might help you stay confident moving forward to reflect on how you've conducted your life in the past: unhappy/unfruitful...

    Movies to watch with Fastlane Mindset/ Lessons?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I sometimes draw great motivation from examples of what not to do or how not to be, so I suggest to you Idiocracy (link to YouTube trailer). It's a satirical film on the consequences of runaway sidewalk- and slowlane-ism.

    Hello Fastlaners

    INTRO 
    Hello there. I'm Rhiannon (yes, just like the Fleetwood Mac song). I'm 31 and currently ~100 pages into The Millionaire Fastlane. In reading @MJ DeMarco 's eye-opening book, I've come to realize I have spent my life following the preachings of the Slowlane. I've been such a good pupil to the...
