    From Dropout to 8-Figure Fastlane Empire: See How I did it Inside !!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I think the post linked HERE applies. To be honest, I probably went for too long, so I'm not as brave as you make me out to be. But I appreciate the compliment! It was definitely hard, considering the social and family pressures to keep going. It's definitely one of the most important lessons...

    I am extremely frustrated because of taxes. How can you still stay motivated??

    MINDSET TAXES | REGS 
    Most of us here hate paying taxes and don't like having to give our money to a government that may or may not spend it the way we want. But it's the cost of doing business in a civilized society. The reality is you are "standing on the shoulders of giants". In this scenario, the giants are...

    Russell Brand; establishment takedown or legit concerns?

    CHAT 
    I don't personally care about the Russel Brand stuff, but your post made me think about a topic I've been mulling for a while. Just talking out loud here, but I sometimes wonder if someone's ability to "I see what's going on here" and then be able to analyze rhetoric piece by piece based on...

    Peak Fulfillment - Life After Exiting The Rat Race

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Someone on the forums recently asked about daily life for those who successfully exited the rat race. I was going to point towards the recent Hobbies thread, but that's not quite the same answer. I haven't seen a thread about the daily life or mindset shifts that happen post-exit, so here it is...

    Idea Generation To Execution: Fastlane Millionaire's Step By Step Guide

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    Start at a price point that will stand out from competitors. If you found some process to make things alot cheaper, then start by being much cheaper. But don't try and fight based on price when you are sourcing things for the same price. It's a game Walmart has made billions on, but it's not one...

    Is E-Commerce still Alive for 2022 / 2023 and How To Make it a Fastlane Success !!!

    EXECUTION 
    I think the good idea is to figure out a complaint the 1000 sewing machine users have and sell them something that fixes that complaint. Alternatively, sell them on a product, that you make, that improves their sewing machine experience (even if they don't have a complaint).

    Defeat Your Nihilism: 3 Simple Steps

    MINDSET 
    I don't feel like your framing makes me like it any better. I agree that it is a good exercise to see what are the most important things in your life from a 10,000 ft perspective. It is especially useful for someone that is overthinking something that is happening in their life. But when I run...

    Defeat Your Nihilism: 3 Simple Steps

    MINDSET 
    I think the deathbed question can be useful (especially at older age), but I don't personally like it as much. While it is a decent start at getting you to think about "what is important to you", it's fatal flaw is that I would have different priorities/values if I knew I was dying tomorrow than...

    I Probably Shouldn’t Indulge

    INTRO 
    The first answer I gave you was true but may be a bit useless. Upon further reflection I wrote THIS If you are at peace because you are doing what you believe is right and living up to your values, then that is great. There is nothing embarrassing about having a career making 50/hr and enjoying...

    This thread isn't for everyone. Many people are born knowing exactly what they want. Others grew up in an environment (like religion) that ingrained strong motivations into them. This thread isn't for you If you don't think you can achieve everything you set your mind to. This thread is also...

    What's Your Best Mindset Advice?

    MINDSET 
    You're right that this sounds like a good jump off point for our side convo. I agree with most of what you said and it seems to me that you agree with most of my positions as well (most people will eventually solve the problem given enough time and iterations). A majority of the argument may...

    What's Your Best Mindset Advice?

    MINDSET 
    Yes, it makes sense. I just think you haven't followed some of your ideas to their natural conclusions. The process you described sounds a lot like the underpinnings of IQ. As you know, all bodies of research suggest this is not a movable trait (as long as typical barriers like nutrition have...

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Can you clarify what you mean. Are you asking for advice on handling the logistic requirements when you go from a few sales (handling it at home) to alot of sales (too much to handle at home)? Start backwards. Figure out what problem you want to solve or what idea you want to execute. Then...

    What's Your Best Mindset Advice?

    MINDSET 
    This feels like a tautology to me. Creating & articulating value is in the definition of success (on this forum) and part of the implied context. So you have just revealed a portion of OP's implied context without adding any information to the system. I can restate OP's question as: What...

    What's Your Best Mindset Advice?

    MINDSET 
    I just mentioned it in another thread, but the will to succeed and perseverance are the only controllable factors that I have been able to come up with that lead to success. Maybe the advice is so widespread because it's right? If you've got other factors, I'm all ears! Don't forget....General...

    You’ll Get Where You Want to Go. Just Refuse to Settle for Mediocrity

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Great thread! @fastlane_dad and I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what most successful people have in common. The only common ground we found is the desire to succeed and persistence. That's it. It's funny you mention this. You've been gone for a little bit and during that time...

    Well, looks like I overlooked this thread, so my replies may be a bit late. In case it still helps you or others.... I have never used an immersion cooker and I'm also someone that stays away from renting things... So I don't have great insight in this field... Here are concerns that pop out...

    From Dropout to 8-Figure Fastlane Empire: See How I did it Inside !!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    It is pretty crazy how fast some things can be learned when someone takes it seriously and dedicates all their time to it. I know there are threads on here that discourage learning to code. I won't try to argue that it is better to learn to code yourself than hire coders. I agree that ideally...

    BlackDragon's take: The secret to scaling up.

    IDEA SCALING SUCCESS! 
    Yikes. Most people find it off-putting to get into public pissing contests or comparing member sizes to figure out who's right/wrong. But it usually turns out ok as long as you can back up the bluster with some real brawn. Big miss here. You should be proud of the salary you are making. In...
