    The Family Bank

    Money if left unfettered, makes people LESS entrepreneurial. But properly deployed, money can help your younger family members develop. For example, your daughter is 28 years old, and is having a hard time finding a career route that appeals to her. She likes the idea of owning her own...

    The Family Bank

    Use money, in a specific way, to make your family more entrepreneurial (the specific way I call The Family Bank, and no, it isn't teaching how to give and keep... it is teaching how to deploy most effectively to build more entrepreneurial kids)

    MINDSET 
    if the first step is the "correct step" in your mind, then it is probably over analyzed. Especially with those in fear of failure, the first step should mostly be engulfed in fear, anxiety, and feeling really, really wrong

    How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

    HOT! 
    I’m taking Brian Rose’ Business Accelerator course right now. It’s $2k. I do feel like the cost has pushed me to take action at their pace which is, perhaps embarrassingly, faster than I would have accomplished the steps on my own. I’m paying for accountability basically. Painful to admit but...

    Fastlane Parenting (Tips, Tactics...)

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    I've found that it is "luck of the draw" on the grade; awful awful jackasses in public school sometimes, horrendously entitled shitty ring leaders in private school sometimes. Listen to your kids; they are probably right about the culture in their grade and if it is bad, get them away from it!

    This is the SELF-FAMILY-BUSINESS hierarchy that TEC / Vistage preaches. Makes sense to me: you cannot be a great family man until you've got yourself figured out and you cannot be a good business leader until you've got yourself and your family life figured out

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    I first got the bug in high school, buried it for awhile to become a lawyer (although a friend and I blew up a small trading fund in about eight minutes when the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper market blew up in 2003) returned to it when I left full-time law to develop a technology five years ago...

    Author spent 5 years interviewing 177 selfmade millionaires to find their secrets. Findings inside.

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    It is not possible that 100% of Rich self-made respondents have a CPA... that must be a typo. My experience is that most self-made rich are driven intrinsically and a CPA is a classic "my parents think I should go slave away in a big accounting firm for four (?) years because it is a great...

    Wow. This is why I joined this forum. Because there are ways to create Fastlaners from anywhere. I would HIGHLY recommend developing your family’s story starting with your Slowlane background. Somehow, they created a safe environment for you to realize that you did not want to be like them...
