    Ahhh Feels Great To Report a Business For Discrimination (another reason to go Fastlane)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's difficult to take a pragmatic approach in the face of adversity or rejection. It's easy to jump to the conclusion of needing to justify why someone didn't choose you, when in reality it could be simply that they didn't like you, you weren't the right fit, or they simply had to choose...

    Freelancing and being well paid for it can be Action Faking too

    Freelancing, or consulting - are things that need to be taken in perspective. What I mean is, that it needs to be part of a bigger plan if that's what you want. My consulting business has done a few things for me. 1) become a massive time drain. Whilst I pick my clients and get paid for...

    What is your guys' take on popular Youtube vloggers?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think you may be looking at value from the wrong perspective. These guys rake in huge audiences and to sponsors/advertisers/anyone with a product, that is a HUGE value.

    Flipping cars, appliances, and other assets.

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've flipped cars and I've retailed cars and like the people above have said there's a world of difference. Setting up a business model is a barrier but it also intrinsically builds in some advantages that you simply don't have access to flipping.. as well as a bucket load of risk and...

    Finding motivation when you have a 9-5

    NOTABLE! 
    Currently I get up at 4-5 everyday, work and commute until 6 every day, try to sleep between 10 and 11 which gives me a maximum of 5 but usually 4 hours a day.. An hour's down time with the mrs, an hour cooking and eating, an hour working on business development and an hour's gym time is...

    Copyright Infringement Including The Millionaire Fastlane

    PUBLISHING 
    Endemic problem.. At least with e-books it's cut and shut. Some of my digital products have been purchased with CLEARLY fake email addresses, no doubt for re-sale. Without purchasing every bit of software I find to test, I can't really prove it. All I can do is focus on my own sales and report...

    I try, I fail, I try again. Recurring pattern going on 10 years

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Completely understand that - I've found myself in exactly the same position. I'm not saying to stick with what you know per say, but to at least think about exploiting what you know as a starting point, especially if you're struggling for viable ideas. You have a skillset that many people...

    I try, I fail, I try again. Recurring pattern going on 10 years

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Going by the above list: -Internet cafe -Coffee Shop -Drop shipping stores -Software plugins -Website for artists -Football game -Community for gamers I can see a few trends. With the exception for the software businesses they're all low value (read: alternatives exist, not necessary, already...

    I try, I fail, I try again. Recurring pattern going on 10 years

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    You try, you fail, but do you learn? Are you repeating the same mistakes in different disguises (read: different businesses, different industries etc)? It's hard to advise where you may be going wrong when we don't know what the journey has looked like, what the businesses are etc. You've...

    Just F***ing do SOMETHING.

    EXECUTION 
    I wrote this post seperate as I had originally written the original post around the 1st April. On the Second of April, I quit. At this time I had two jobs on the potentials list for web design, equalling 18k - a little more that what I was paid pre tax at the time. Given I had taken a paycut for...

    Just F***ing do SOMETHING.

    EXECUTION 
    So I was holding off posting this despite writing it a few months ago. I had another progress thread about my ambitions to start a business I had always wanted to pursue, motivating myself to get started, making plans, fixing mindsets and so on. The problem was that I was seriously...

    AndyTalks with nzott about Quitting His Job & Figuring It Out

    Listened to this again after a shitty, shitty day in the office. 8am the next morning I quit and a month's notice period later am officially unemployed for the first time in 11 years. Here goes nothing :/ Thanks again both for the kick :)

    Buying a house is a scam!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    as long as it is within my control, I will never rent a home or lease a car. For me it is MUCH more than the bottom line, these are things I enjoy, take pride in, grow to love want to modify at a whim. you can rent a house not a home in my humble opinion. Lost time in inspections, control...

    16 Y/O High School Student Contemplating Dropping Out

    INTRO 
    Few things that apply 1) at 16 you have almost all the time in the world. It's appealing and commendable to want to jump right in, but you have time to at least finish high school (as for college at least have a plan of some sort) 2) It's not until you go through it for a while where you...

    MARKETPLACE 
    I haven't taken this course yet, but I have taken a course of Andrew's in the past as well as spoken to him periodically via message/email which has all been eye opening in a short timeframe. I have no doubt as to the intrinsic value on offer here. good luck :)

    MLM or Network Marketing Schemes, Cringe, and More

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I think there are a few sides to look at with regards to MLM. On the one side they're the ultimate easy escape for people who claim to want to be Entrepreneurs; but want everyting packaged and in a bow. They need the support network. They need to feel part of a family. They need everything to...

    All very valid and I suppose should have had a caveat that you need to take a wholesome view of things. Like you say, split testing and ensuring that you're comparing apples for apples. It's about finding trends rather than finding a formula I suppose is what I'm getting at
