    Is it a waste of time to learn code if I don't know EXACTLY what I want to do with it?

    MINDSET 
    Not so much a waste of time as a missed opportunity. Learning while you're actually building something will make you learn better. Check out the book "Ultralearning" by the guy who passed an MIT degree in one year on his own. He has some great advice and you can put it into action straight away.

    My Self-Storage Investment Journey - Follow Along!

    HOT! INVESTING EXECUTION REAL ESTATE 
    Just an out-of-the-box suggestion from someone with zero experience. Near where I live (London, UK), there are some flats being pulled down. Someone has managed to secure the old carparks underneath them and is using them as storage units. Of course they will be demolished eventually, however...

    It's mad they can even do that. Surely if you agree at that price any changes should not effect you until a new agreement. That is some sheisty behaviour.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    I wish I'd never listened to this advice. If you want to learn to code, learn to code.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    My point was 14% of traffic fatalities are motorbikes (US figures) meaning 86% are not. Of course they're more dangerous, you haven't got a steel cage around you when you're on one, however you are still more likely to die driving a car. So I'm not denying probability, merely highlighting it.

    Very sad for him and his family. Although of course, we don't get to read headlines about the millions of people round the world, who ride motorbikes everyday and are fine after each journey. #observerbias

    Do you see value in this service based business?

    IDEA 
    Yes I realise that, but just because a couple of people on here say "yeah sure, good business", won't make it a good business. For that you'll need clients and seeing as you work in that industry and have done for 10 years, you'll know if there is any scope to go out on your own. It's like if I...

    I called the potential fastlane mentors phone number, now Im confused as shit...

    HOT! QUESTION 
    Yes, a caller with potential calls. Someone who is not ready, deliberates for months, asking people whether they should call. I really don't see what the problem is, he gave you his number, you have some great replies on this thread. Just ring up and use @JordanK's message. I would shy away...

    Do you see value in this service based business?

    IDEA 
    I would have thought with 10 years in the industry, you can answer that question better than anybody? Who were your clients when you worked for other people? They will be your clients now. Anyway, they all sound viable to me, apart from young people/first time buyers.

    I Quit My Job to Start a Research Agency

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Okay I think this comes back to your previous work around your job? Have you utilised contacts as much as you can? I understand some companies in certain industries make you sign stuff to stop you contacting clients for at least 2 years after you leave, however if you haven't got any such...

    Enneagram Test: What are you?

    HOT! 
    Lol, since doing these "tests", I looked into the science of it and as I suspected, they are barely more credible than a horoscope. They tend to only say generalised nice things about you and you can pretty much attribute any answer you get from the test to anyone. This is proved in the fact...

    I Quit My Job to Start a Research Agency

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Have you identified exactly what that experience is? Sometimes it's easy to tell ourselves "we need more experience" and we kind of lump it all in together. However sometimes it is rarely about general experience we need, it is something very specific, eg. learning a particular bit of software...

    No idea to be honest, I don't own Fidelity or am I a part of it. I was merely reposting the article, stating they have marked down the value of their own equity stake in Twitter. No idea why they would lie, or creative account, however like MJ, I'm not an accountant so don't understand the finer...

    Thanks for this, some nice tips here. I just wanted to make sure of something, when you switch from 3.5 to 4, are all of your old chats saved?

    Forum update coming, what do you want?

    Pretty trivial one, racially sensitive emojis, feels weird doing a white thumbs up. Although my emoji bar seems to have disappeared.

    Fastlane Parenting (Tips, Tactics...)

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    My little one is 12 now and the best advice I got and worked out is as follows. 1. They're not made of glass - It's very easy to behave as if they are and this seems fine at first, but can easily slide into overprotective parenting. 2. No screens until they're at least 18 months old - Some...

    Don't worry about it, I probably should have just let it slide as it's obvious you answered trying to help, but erm.... anger issues! Lol. Thanks for the reply and follow up!

    Anger Issues

    MINDSET 
    You are 100% right, I boxed as a kid and absolutely loved it, the only reason I stopped is because around 15 the sparring sessions gave me a headache and I didn't like the feeling. The (rather pathetic) reason I haven't joined a boxing gym is because a few years ago I went down to the one near...
