    Spitballing Ideas -- How To Benefit From The "Grexit"

    IDEA 
    I'm going to rant for a second. Jesus God in heaven, why is it when I want politicians to get off their asses and fix a problem (I don't even care what it is -- FIX SOMETHING.), they just sit around and bicker, filibuster, and just sort of make me hate their guts. AND THEN when I want them to...

    Spitballing Ideas -- How To Benefit From The "Grexit"

    IDEA 
    Assuming it happens, of course. Off the top of my head -- 1. Targetted microloans for Greek citizens -- they are limited to 60 euro atm withdrawals at the moment. 2. AirBNB to Greece for an extended staycation. Prices for everything will plummet. (Not even joking. GF is on AirBNB right now...

    $650K For Lunch w/ Warren Buffet

    MINDSET 
    TL;DR -- Be around people better than you, who are giving, and then give to them. Give, give, give and expect nothing in return. They will return to you 100x...

    0 - Billionaire Without Creating Anything

    EXECUTION 
    First. Come on. Christian Grey? COME ON. Second. I want to point out something that not a lot of people like to admit -- the plural of anecdote is not "data". Cherrypicking examples of how a strategy worked for some people isn't proof that the strategy is foolproof. Case in point...

    How Do You Organically Execute Needs Analysis?

    MARKETING 
    So, I had an interesting idea for a business that I wanted to see if there was a Need for. I figured the easiest way to do a Needs analysis would be to join some online groups in the sector I'm looking at, toss up the idea to people passionate about the topic, and have them offer up some...

    Tinder for mentors and students?

    If I could play devil's advocate, then -- If the Mentor isn't being financially incentivized to list his accolades and recruit students, what incentive does he have to use this platform in the first place? This whole platform would hinge on having a valuable list of mentors... how would you get...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Alrighty, @MJ DeMarco Woo. Alright. 6 Month Checkin. You won't be disappointed. TV I don't own a TV anymore. I sold my 46" LCD flatscreen for $450 bucks -- 50 bucks more than I paid for it. I don't remember the last time I watched a TV show. I will occasionally pop in a vintage episode of...

    How Did / Do YOU Deal With Fear of Criticism?

    MINDSET 
    Hey, cool! I wrote a blog post about this not more than a week ago, dealing with fear and anxiety. http://aberrantly.com/2015/05/29/your-brain-is-dumb-this-is-why/ TLDR -- Your fear center, the Amygdala, isn't hard wired to deal with the rapid technology advancements over the past 100 years...

    How to read 1-2 full books per day. No, seriously.

    HOT! 
    The irony of this is that all the Fastlaners who read this should be emboldened and empassioned by this fact, not saddened. But yes, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Read Books. But then apply what you learn. Endless reading is being BUSY. It isn't being PRODUCTIVE.

    Sure, I can tell you what worked for me. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I think I'm going to anyway. We had these kids in my high school that were notoriously smart. They both got perfect SAT scores, and were straight A students. Our student newspaper released a parody paper on...

    So, heres a tactic I use for when I want to find the 20% of content I need to consume for a given skill I want to learn. I believe I originally got this from a blog post that highlighted the central thesis of "The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything... Fast!" (Too cheap to buy the book? TED...

    Launched my fitness infoproduct, first week sales = $7150

    EXECUTION 
    This is what intrigues me. Could you elaborate a bit more on this? If I'm reading it right it looks like you take material on your blog, target the most shared / frequently visited content, built a lead page around it and use it to funnel people into your mailing list?

    I'm interested to see how you solve the Android / Windows problem. I wanted to do something like this for my Android devices while I'm at the gym, listening to a book while I work out, but I couldn't find a reliable text to speech service that wasn't out to gouge me in terms of price. So I...
