    Life Isn't Fair - And That's Excellent News

    MINDSET 
    Most people would look at this and probably comment on how UNFAIR this looks. Or how it adds up. Or any other justification for their disdain of this image. But when I see this image my mindset is that of empowerment. That I must do better than the rest of the "90%" there. My mindset is that...

    5 Marketing Lessons From the Super Bowl's Most Popular Commercials

    MARKETING 
    Now that I think about it, unless it's been food (back when I put anything into my mouth) or some shiny gadget, few commercials have been effective in making me buy or change my behavior. Most commercials I see are already well established and are just keeping their "face" out there, or...

    5 Marketing Lessons From the Super Bowl's Most Popular Commercials

    MARKETING 
    All of those were good but IMO the one ad that utilized "shock value" was the Go Daddy commercial where the hot blonde kissed the young, red faced kid - for what seemed like forever. Does it make sense? No. But it got people talking about it which equals success.

    Anyone Gotten Any Value Out of Experts Academy/Eben Pagan?

    Yes, David D. Almost all of my foundations of thinking (self help, being a man, present, how to command power and what not) I attribute to him. He didn't just teach dating advice, he taught lifestyle advice. I was a mere 16 years old and he completely turned my life around. Then, when he...

    Anyone Gotten Any Value Out of Experts Academy/Eben Pagan?

    Has anyone attended Brendon Burchard's Expert Academy? I know there was a thread about this about 7 months ago but it really didn't flesh out what I want to know. Has anyone taken any of his seminars (particularly Experts Academy)? And if so, Did you get any value out of it? I've signed up...

    Why I Failed 1/2 Dozen Times and Other Golden Nuggets

    Yet again providing pure value. Thanks MJ! I've been on a ravenous streak of consuming as much knowledge from Entreprenuer forums, magazines and books and this definitely fulfills another hunger. I've never even heard of that magazine so thanks for introducing me to it!

    Retire? I would be eligible to retire in 2024. End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS)? November, 2014. Age at eligible retirement - 39 Age at EAOS - 29 One of the more pressing reasons (if not to pursue my own avenue of the Fastlane) is that it is increasingly obvious that having 20...

    To Go To College or Not To Go To College - 10 Yr U.S. Navy Sailor

    MINDSET 
    Exactly! The more books I read the more insight I gain. One of the cracks in my foundation that I'm working on filling right now by reading books is the whole being "financially literate" aspect. Honestly, I need to learn A LOT more about this subject. However, I just want the basics. I'm sure...

    To Go To College or Not To Go To College - 10 Yr U.S. Navy Sailor

    OK! Excellent! This was my reasoning as well. So this brings me back to my original question: What college/university would you or anyone you know recommend when it comes to pursuing Entrepreneurship?

    MINDSET 
    Haha, no. If you really wanna know what it's like, go watch the movie "Down Periscope". Enough said. I don't want to talk badly about the Navy as a whole. I'm just not into blindly following someone else's plan without an explanation or why so. The brainwashing is real. The economy is a big...

    6 Harsh Truths that Will Make you a Better Person

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It's no coincidence that I resonated STRONGLY with this article's sentiment when I read it last month BEFORE I even knew about this site, or TMF. I'll randomly blurt out, "Put that coffee DOWN!" I went and read a few more of David Wong's stuff after I read that article. Gotta say I like that...

    Waking up on time.

    Wow! This is a HUGE reframe for me! Thanks for sharing. Along with this new reframe, this brings me to my next point, Donald Trump is utilizing this exact mindset. It's no surprise here. To support Vigilante, I have to agree. Waking up "on time" is inherently tied to be reporting to someone...

    Living Life -- Fitness

    OFF-TOPIC 
    By quality of life I assume you mean "Noticing a difference between being fitter and not fit." Simple answer - yes. It's because you're actually aware that you're improving yourself, seeing the results and fueling that positive thought process. The first rush of soreness you get from your first...

    How to Start Blogging on Fastlane Forum

    Just giving a heads up because I found this thread helpful. I, too, was trying to find the blog link. I want to keep people in the loop of my journey and the action that I'm taking without posting a ton of posts that have no value to them. I've been reading and essentially trying to "catch up"...

    Why I Hate the Term “Lifestyle Business†& Why It Should Die

    I gleaned the same thing from this post. I was waiting for your input but it never came. Your post led us to believe that YOU hated the term "lifestyle business", not someone else. What do YOU think? Personally, I say if it works and they give value then let them be successful.

    Hi - The Entrepreneur That Got His Start Here

    You are absolutely correct. I'm turning 28 next month. Also, the blog as a launching pad? Correct again! My plan is to provide good content and value in my blog, build trust, then eventually sell a product. (eBook, Seminar, Audio CDs, DVDs - informational products)
