    Teach Me or give advise

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You have to have some value for a teacher to find time to invest in you. The question is: What value are you bringing to the table? Nonetheless, there are people on this forum that are nice enough to give you some of their time by pointing you in a direction. That's all they can do really...

    Most of us ain't getting rich, and that's okay

    HOT! MINDSET 
    "I" statements are the strongest statements you can make. You become a person congruent to those statements. If you don't think you can do something, chances are you can't and you won't. So... why give yourself a cruel limiting belief and put limits on your own capabilities? I don't get the...

    Are IQ (Smarts) and Success Correlated?

    HOT! CHAT 
    In honesty, what a test says about your intelligence should be as useful as what you hear when you talk to a damn wall. It should mean nothing. If you let a test put a limit on your mental capacity or how you see yourself, you either 1) have low self-esteem and low self-worth or 2) are...

    My first video on YouTube got 50K views, gained me 1250+ subs

    EXECUTION 
    Good work man. I do have 1 question after reading your post. Did you copy the layout of the keywords and hashtags too? I've seen channels copy word for word: 1) the title & description 2) hashtags 3) even the first 10-30 seconds of a video. I see that their videos perform relatively well too...

    Scalable Fastlane System to develop as a Videographer?

    IDEA CHAT QUESTION 
    I think one of the biggest leverage you can utilize for free is to use social media to build and position yourself as a "pro" filmmaker. Once you have a brand going for yourself, people will come to you for guidance in anything related to filmmaking. I generally like the idea of people coming...

    Tips Needed! YouTube - How to improve audio quality

    EXECUTION 
    Are you looking to do this as a hobby or leaning toward creating something bigger? I have 2 suggestions if it's the second case. 1) get yourself a USB mic. Any would do really. I have some experience with blue yeti so that is would I would personally recommend. The less expensive is around a...

    Nope, he was an active member on here. He posts under the user "Valier". I'll attach his progress thread if you haven't gotten a chance to read it. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/creating-a-thriving-personal-brand-w-youtube-a-journal-a-personal-guide.93279/

    I don't want it bad enough. What's your advice.

    HEALTH 
    I say do whatever works for you that allows you to build momentum early on. In the beginning, you might take a photo every workout day. After a while, you might take it every other workout day. Then once a week. Once a month. It's like learning to ride a bicycle and taking off the wheels as...

    Building A Personal Brand on YouTube in 2022

    EXECUTION 
    It's the end of January so I thought I write this short update, the channel currently sits at 1,024 subscribers and over 2.6k watch time. We already hit 1 of the benchmark before June so I'm pretty stoked! It's 1 less thing to think about. Things are slowly coming together. It's a surreal...

    I don't want it bad enough. What's your advice.

    HEALTH 
    I don't think it's a matter of "wanting" it bad enough. You probably want to look good. It's a subconscious urge in everybody's mind to look better and feel better. The problem then might be: you're not seeing progress fast enough to match your expectation. The question then becomes, who are...

    How can I have my cake and eat it too?

    MINDSET 
    I know you said you are young so I won't bash you. If you read TMF, you should consider reading it again. The answers are in there in bullet points and summaries. Matter of fact, if it didn't clarify things thoroughly enough, go pick up Unscripted. If you need more examples go read MJ's newest...

    Building A Personal Brand on YouTube in 2022

    EXECUTION 
    Thought I'd write this early update. For anyone following this thread, I think I just tasted real positive feedback from the market. My channel currently stands at 302 subscribers and 557 hours of watch time. That's literally more than double what I had a few days ago so I can't help but feel...

    Advice for 17 year olds?

    SLOWLANE PEOPLE QUESTION 
    That's the starting point for almost every entrepreneur, no? If you're mad or frustrated use that energy to work on a solution and start something. You gotta realize nothing will change if you don't make something happen with your own two hands and brain. The thing is most people are lazy...

    Hey everyone, it's been 3 months since the last update. Here's a quick rundown of things and a chance for me to document the progress so far. The channel sits at 130 subscribers with close to 200 hours of watch time. All of the growth is organic. As you can see lots of those numbers came...

    To Travel Or Not To Travel

    MINDSET 
    Think a bit broader. Sure you might not be able to sell to the market there, but what if you come back home after being away for 6-12 months? What perspective would you have learned? Self-reliance? Open-mindedness? What types of people would you meet? Think. You are free to play whatever...

    We all have 24 hours, what do you do differently.

    MINDSET SLOWLANE CHAT EXECUTION QUESTION 
    There's a reason for this. Their specific routine may only work for them and not for you. For example, someone may find meditating to be amazing while another may see it as a waste of time and prefer working out or writing. There is no magic routine you can just jump into and your days become...

    I am 17 and going the Slowlane

    QUESTION 
    Yeah probably deep down you think you're not good enough. You might be afraid if things go well. You might be afraid of failing. Who knows. I sure don't, only you do. Either way, if you don't get it handled, you'll only be losing time. And time for a young man is his greatest asset. It's...

    (Ex?) Poker Player and a Shut-In

    INTRO 
    You own it and that's what counts. That puts you ahead of the millions of others who believe they're a victim of their own choices. You can always choose to do things differently if you're breathing, and you know that already aha. I think you're pretty self-aware. That's a skill, a well-needed...
