    Kyle MacDonald

    In case you're unfamiliar with who this is, Kyle started with a paperclip, traded it for something slightly more valuable, and repeated until he traded something for a house. I only recently became familiar with him and his story. Just wondering if anybody here has ever tried anything like this...

    Can't avoid the Script right now

    MINDSET 
    I quit school at your age and turned out fine, granted this was after almost a decade of brutal failures (including an addiction and 2 arrests) and financial struggles (lived on my friend's couch and went days without eating at times). I'd say that it depends on what you want to become. I don't...

    My Shopify dropshipping experience...

    I gave Shopify dropshipping a try once a while back. I built a site that sold tennis products. I have no interest in tennis myself, but I just picked a niche and used some FU money to fund the Shpoify fees and FB advertising fees. This was, mind you, more of an experiment than something I...

    How did you find out about MJ/Fastlane?

    PEOPLE 
    I find out about MJ DeMarco (and subsequently read his books/joined this forum/hopped on the fastlane) by watching one of his YouTube vids on the "suggested for you" section a little less than a year ago. How did you find out?

    Technical analysis, is it real? (Now w/a live experiment!)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I find it better to focus on the fundamentals of individual businesses which basically includes going through financial statements, annual reports, etc. dating back for at least 7 years. Granted, this is certainly not fastlane (nor cheap); it requires serious patience and a large sum of FU money...

    Elon Musk getting into a twitter fight with a Marxist (This literally made me so mad)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Elon's got enough going on in his life to be bothering with some hater on the internet.

    Has Amazon become a monopoly?

    HOT! 
    I'm not invested in Amazon and I don't encourage any of my clients to invest in Amazon; overpriced valuation and shaky foundation in my opinion. No dividend on a $2k/share stock quote and a 3% profit margin (they only became a profitable company over last 1 or 2 years!), $45 BILLION in debt with...

    How were you scripted?

    MINDSET 
    I'm curious to learn about how you were raised by your parents regarding entrepreneurship and wealthy people. For example, were you brought up to believe wealthy people were lucky? Evil (got there by stepping on others)? Good? etc. Personally, my parents raised me to believe that I should go...

    How Do You Invest for Your Children?

    INVESTING 
    I have no kids but I think if I did I would be sure to teach them all things economics, business, finance and entrepreneurship and encourage them that failure is better than not even trying.

    Pro-Tip: Ignore your Slowlane Parents

    MINDSET SLOWLANE RANT 
    Bruce Lee once said something along the lines of "keep what is useful and discard what is not". You can love your parents (and learn from them) and still also forge your own path of fastlane success that they may not agree with. Im 27-28 also and I believe I understand where you're coming from.

    Online vs Offline Business

    HOT! 
    Plenty of off-line businesses still have some form of online presence; plenty of offline businesses often use the internet as a marketing tool in some form or another.

    The future of the automotive industry

    Hey there guys, where do you think the automotive industry is headed within the next decade or so? I know a lot of people either have strong allegiance to Tesla while others are jumping ship on Tesla like it was the Titanic. Personally, I think Tesla has the chance to become the automotive king...

    Ethical Conundrum

    INVESTING 
    If someone was selling essentially a gimmick (albeit legal), like a placebo for instance, but their sales showed consistent, growing profit, would you invest in that company? Would that be unethical or immoral? Does the legality of the BS product make it okay to profit off of people paying for it?

    Favorite entrepreneur (other than MJ)

    HOT! 
    Who was your biggest inspiration or your favorite businessperson/entrepreneur (other than MJ of course)? Before I read Millionaire Fastlane I was really big on Sam Walton of Wal-Mart fame. Yours?

    Weight management

    HEALTH 
    This may seem like a little far-fetched or crazy, but please hear me out. I'm not a health instructor and I don't need to lose any weight, but I am very interested in physical fitness and psychology. When we become hungry it is the result of a preconditioned response we get from having eaten...

    The classic Glengarry Glen Ross Always Be Closing scene

    MARKETING 
    Was literally just watching this movie like 3 days ago. That scene is iconic. Savage, hilarious. Reminds me of the drill sergeant scene from the beginning of Full Metal Jacket.

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    Yes. They appeal to people who can't spend money on healthier foods and probably don't care about anything other than taste when it comes to feeding themselves or their children. In other words, they appeal directly to most "sidewalkers" and "slowlane" folks (penny pinchers). And there's a LOT...
