    The Proven Path to a Fastlane (Still Open for 2024)

    MARKETPLACE 
    Jumping in here with a little endorsement / review of Fox Web School I came at it a little differently, in that I'm an experienced entrepreneur who was looking to start a new business and wanted to sharpen up my online marketing skills and knowledge. The long story short is that I briefly...

    I love you MJ Demarco. We love you.

    Great thread. I read FLM around 2012/2013 when I was just getting my first business going (the 1st one that actually worked, not the 1st one I'd tried!!). Changed. my. Life. If only I had read it 2 years earlier and saved myself of 18 months of trying to get things going whilst having zero...

    @Kak I just followed your show on Apple based on this and @Antifragile 's message. I'm seeking the truth and things that will actually help me, not short term dopamine. Looking forward to giving it a listen. Thanks.

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for posting this @Spenny and props to you for going the other way (particularly in such an ingrained drinking culture that we have in the UK) and seeing such huge huge positive changes in your life. Some years back I stopped ingesting all alcohol for 3 years (it was initially for 2...

    I feel like I can't make money because I don't have money.

    It's supercool you had the humility to listen and courage to come back and post what you have above. Hopefully now you can see that you can make it happen (yes it's possibly harder from a 3rd world country, but that makes the juice taste even sweeter when you get it). I hope you take this fire...

    I 'made it' and all I got was an existential crisis

    Oh man pls accept my apologies - I jumped straight into advice mode! My bad. Yeah your sharing has sparked a good and valuable conversation here. Stoked to hear you're landing on your feet and ready to re-enter the game.

    I 'made it' and all I got was an existential crisis

    MINDSET 
    Major caveat to my response - it is impossible to advise on anxiety on a message board without knowing the full context, and even then you should likely seek to speak with a professional. Although that's another minefield, like everything else there are great mental health professionals and...

    Do you have any tips for sleep improvement?

    HEALTH 
    Lots of good tips in the posts above. Look up Dr Andrew Huberman, he is a Stanford professor and has a couple of excellent podcast (called The Huberman Lab) episodes on this topic which cover the basics of good sleep hygiene and also some more recent findings. Also look up the work of Matthew...

    You don’t need more time, you just prioritize other things

    Great post, thank you @Johnny boy One thing I am enjoying about the forum right now is this kind of real talk (that would likely really rile the average person up). No molly coddling, no appealing to people's feelings, just matter of factly stating what it sometimes can take to prioritise...

    Thanks @Xeon and @biophase, I appreciate your inputs, thank you. I watched the first episode. Found it interesting but also a bit annoying. I think I'll park it now and take the lesson that's most useful for me (in my own contexts, goals and history), which is basically to make sure I do at...

    TV & sports documentaries / shows I rarely watch TV except as downtime / bonding with my wife and even then we're careful that it doesn't become a lazy default (e.g it takes us 2-3 months to watch 1 typical 10-12 part series). The exception is the occasional sports documentary. I like that...

    Can money buy happiness? Scientists (finally) say yes.

    This is some powerful stuff @heavy_industry - thank you! :praise: I'm cancelling all of my tasks today right NOW to do manifesting practice all day. Can't believe it took me this long to finally figure out that the missing piece all along was simply that I haven't been visualizing and...

    Agree. It's a good example of a productocracy, but a very unethical one. I strongly suspect that folks who wrote that knew what they were doing.

    Need Books on how to talk

    MARKETING 
    Big +1 to this - toastmasters was amazing for me and is not only low cost but super effective. As you asked for books, I'll add "Never Split The Difference" by Chris Voss. It's specifically on how to negotiate and win.

    This. Almost everyone I know who contradicts this has never actually experienced it. Everyone I know who bought a supercar AND could afford to actually run it, has enjoyed the experience and cherished the memories it's created. I'll give the data point of me. When I bought my first Porsche...

    omfg could not agree more!! Thank you. "just do what you love and then everything will fall into place..." This is the MOST dangerous advice for happiness in my humble opinion. When someone says that to me I reply (kindly) "Cool! Explain to me how?" and then I shut up whilst they tie themselves...

    Not sure of the etiquette here on posting links so if this is not acceptable please take it down (or let me know and I'll delete the post). Disclaimer: I don't know this guy and there's nothing in it for me, but I think objectively he is an impressive entrepreneur. This blog post of his really...

    This is a great idea. I think a number of ppl here can contribute to this with examples from their own lives. I have plenty of examples at different levels. It would be good (and inspirational) to do this. Let's blow a huge hole into this ridiculous idea that living a frugal life (i.e...

    I had ignored that one initially (why the f*k would I want to read something like that?) but then curiosity of seeing it got the better of me. Glad I read it. Similar reaction to you. F*ck mediocrity and lowering expectations. I love the options that having money gives me (we're putting a...

    This is so useful, thank you @Sean Marshall. I'm at the start of testing and validating a new business idea that has nothing to do with any of the things you've mentioned, and your different examples still showed me a clear 3-4 areas where I can dramatically speed up the process. Thank you!!
