    ha ha ha - compound interest shills

    $500,000 by 65! so... $500,000 in 45 years? uhhhhh.... Question to Rachel Ray: is this how you personally have made/accumulated your wealth? I didn't think so. MJ, it's what you always talk about. Leverage. Why would people want to leverage such small numbers and assume that the income...

    How do you objectively measure your character growth?

    MINDSET 
    I've written alot on this topic, actually. For me personally (and maybe this will work for you) I start with my core beliefs. I picture my life as consisting of four categories: spiritual/personal development > Interpersonal Relationships >Health and Wellness > Finances and Career In my view...

    My Business Just had it's Worst Month on Record. Why this is the Best Thing that's Ever Happened.

    EXECUTION 
    This is from a post I wrote today for my personal blog. If no one minds, I will link to the actual post later. But for now I'll just copy and paste the text. I'm pretty long winded when I write, and generally lack the ability to even summarize well enough for an accurate TL;DR. So for you people...

    A $7.55 cup of ramen noodles

    HEALTH 
    It's not even about cutting costs. For most people (myself included, I'll admit) that own a business, it's all about the convenience. I generally don't have time (FALSE - I have the time but I don't prioritize it correctly!) to shop for the right food and make the right meals. However, it's...

    6 Figures At 18! 1 Year of The Fastlane Forum

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Fantastic thread. Great example of posting an "I did/am doing" rather than posting "I will do". Love it. Once you start just doing, the process becomes a little addicting. I'm sure this ecommerce store is just the start for you. Congrats my man

    Changing your environment

    INTRO 
    Go wherever you feel like you need to go. Go where you want - life is short. If you are moving because you feel like it is a necessary step to achieve some sort of change you've been looking for, be careful. Changing your environment can be powerful, but it can also be a mental trap. At least...

    SCRIPTED encounters: see the world through a new lens

    MINDSET 
    No, the mom isn't nuts. She's just regurgitating the garbage she's been fed and the garbage she's used to justify whatever debt she has been in all her life. A seeder. We are the ones that are nuts, because we swim against convention. I run a small operation. We're not in with any big banks...

    SCRIPTED encounters: see the world through a new lens

    MINDSET 
    Background: I own and operate a small dealership. I was finishing up a deal, and collected the customer's insurance info (he's 19 or 20). $300/mo insurance for a vehicle with a payment of $370/mo. "Have you shopped this around?!" I was shocked. The mom chimes in: "It's part of being an adult...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it, worth the wait and well worth the price (both monetarily and time commitment). I listen/read probably 2 hours a day and my biggest pet peeve is investing time in a book that comes recommended, only to have it be a total flop and a waste. Pisses me off much more to waste my hour than it...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read the book awhile ago. It was right before I joined this forum. I somehow found the book first, and then the forum. Honestly, the book was a turning point for me. I had all the knowledge and ambition previous to reading the book, but the book took me on a journey of self-discovery. You...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    I get his reasoning. As with anything in life, there is no black/white. Some situations make owning a house a poor investment, some situations would make it a smart financial decision. Just depends. I just purchased a house. It's an older home on ten acres. I bought it for 1/3 of what the...

    Financing a Car Has Put Me in More Debt Than I Ever Thought

    MINDSET RANT 
    Honestly man you do need to focus on getting rid of debt first. Your fastlane will not be completed because you are too distracted by debt and desperation. A slowlane job will be less distracting than all this debt. Get back into the auto industry. There are lots of ways to make money on the...

    Making Money For Dummies (And In a Crowded Market)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thanks for the reply. Are you covering your selling of the calls by buying the actual stock? Or no? If you don't want to get any more in depth at this time, that is okay. I am just intensely curious now because I am like the trader you described. Except I started in the fool's gold land of...

    Making Money For Dummies (And In a Crowded Market)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The whole thread is filled with gold. But I am curious to learn more about this. I have traded options myself quite a bit but have not found any success whatsoever with it. Thanks

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Site looks good - but I am going for something different. I actually really liked the theme I chose because of how simple it looked, and how industrial the font/setup appears. I will probably buy the paid version (only $50) because I like the general idea of it. Other problem is that my...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    I completely agree on the site "popping". I am a fan of minimalistic designs but also my site just doesn't look full. Kind of why I was asking if anyone had any critique, because I also feel like something is missing but I can't put my finger on it either! That is a fantastic idea and I...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    You are the reason I want to divulge the information I know! Because that is the worst advice I have ever read. Have you ever been to an automotive auction? I'm guessing no, or else you wouldn't recommend it to an average consumer. Forget the fact that getting a dealer's license is no small...

    On a whim, I hired a researcher on E-Lance to compile an excel spreadsheet of companies within a ten mile radius of my address, having between 25-50 employees. I had him create a spreadsheet with the company name, industry, and then asked him to do research (LinkedIn, Facebook, whatever he had...
