    My FTE is here! ...Do I take the money and run?

    FTE 
    If I were in your situation, I would do everything possible to stop trading time for a salary. So cutting back expenses, building the side hustle etc. Then leave asap since free time is where one is most likely to build wealth and you have something with potential going already.

    How much money do you have to have in order to be considered a millionaire?

    Definition of millionaire (Merriam-Webster) : a person whose wealth is estimated at a million or more (as of dollars or pounds) Good idea. I kindly suggest that you ensure you get the big ideas out of the book. Try creating a mind-map. Also, the two big diagrams in the book help summarize and...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    This week my sweetheart was not well because she was having her period, which has consistently been bad. Nonetheless, she decided to go to work anyway because she needed the money. While I was walking her to the taxi stand, she started feeling worse, so we turned around to return home. As we...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    On your last point, agreed. I use my vocabulary a little differently tho. I distinguish education from learning. Education is what you get in school, credentials etc. Learning is the knowledge and skills you gain and add to your personal value, which may be as a result of formal education or...

    Is Marriage Part of the Script?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Remember, the Script and its associated elements are only problematic because they produce MODEL citizenry. Many of the elements outlined in the book like a degree, marriage etc correlate with the scripted life, but does not necessarily cause the scripted life. So instead of asking if its part...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    I'm in my final semester of my Bachelors of Psychology. As I live, during conversations and while I think about things that happen, little bits of what I learned come back to mind and help add insight to the situation. I've learned how to write. I've learned critical thinking and skepticism...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    No progress. I was sick. Had the zika virus. Also still trying to accumulate money to buy the basic stuff (camera, graphic tablet etc). In the mean time I will resume prepping the actual content.

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Wow Scot. You've been so encouraging and valuable in sharing your insights and ideas. Thank you. I actually do not feel despondent anymore. We will go through with it. We will be their competition, and will crush them! We will crush them badly! I like that their existence shows me that there is...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Was just doing some research online and I found a company essentially doing what I want to do. They are part of a billion dollar conglomerate whose main business is cable, Internet, home phone etc. I don't know how I missed it in my initial research but I feel like I can't compete and my gf and...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Hi Honestea (my response is long, so get your coffee if you're interested...lol), 1. I am not settled on pricing; $200/31USD is just an estimated figure of what one subject will cost. I will probably create packages, so 2 subjects won't cost $400, but maybe $350. 3 subjects will cost $450 etc...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Keep posting Scot! I love how you capture things. That's exactly it. If I were younger and at that part of my education journey, I would want not a supplement, but a trusted source for main content. That's exactly it. I want to create something that I wish I had when I was at that level.

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    I was thinking about that. I think one key difference is convenience. Imagine have access to a resource that is specific to your syllabus, which mean that every video, text and practice exercise is relevant and not above or below the level of learning required. Everything will be in line with...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Excellent idea. I truly love it. One idea I had to encourage a sort of snowballing/exponential growth rate is to offer the course at a higher price per month, and offer customers a lifetime lower price if they recruit one person. So e.g. 300 per month, or 200 per month if you recruit one person...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Television Advertising is very costly here, ranging from the hundreds of thousands to millions (in my currency). At first, when I have a MVP, I'm planning to use word of mouth to get friends, and friends of friends, then Newspaper ads, maybe radio, then finally television. Do you have any...

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    I was thinking about that recently. Another reason that this idea appeals to me is because it requires little capital to start and sustain, which is great considering how broke I am. If/when this works, then I will polygamous in investing, and the next step is definitely to import some key ideas...

    Oh, I love that idea of focusing around the subjects that make students anxious. Great idea.

    Jonathan's Fastlane Idea: 'Study Buddy'

    IDEA 
    Ahhh, I want it to be pretty similar to Khan Academy. The thing is that Khan Academy is not made by our people for our people. I think locals will prefer something made by persons in our accent. I'm not saying that Khan Academy isn't quality, but people will be people in how they think and have...
