    Hated His Job at 40, Bought A Business, Now Nearly A Billionaire

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    I'll be 42 in 3 days... age has never been something that has bothered me, but it DOES make me wish I had started earlier (not that I can't be "successful" due to my age, but that I could be SO. MUCH. FURTHER. if I had started at a younger age). Thanks for the link, @MJ DeMarco !

    Any Jordan Peterson fans out there?

    HOT! 
    Listened to the audio book of 12 Rules For Life. Much of it was great, some of it was meh, a little of it was garbage. Agree with @Paolo Rizzo that it was "religion-heavy," though some of that was very interesting to me as well, from an interpretation standpoint. I will say that I did not...

    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I've only read the first post of this thread, and I can already tell I'll be coming back to this one over and over to remind myself of this...

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I am a commercial pilot and flight instructor. Right out of college, I was working the ramp (ground crew) for Northwest Airlines, and I was flying back home from training, and we were holding (flying in circles) over Detroit in stormy weather. Worst turbulence I have ever been in - the 767 was...

    I emailed 40 local organisations asking what their problems and frustrations are

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Feel like I'm just reiterating what has already been said over and over here, but since I'm focusing my learning in February on deeper learning of Covey's 7-Habits - specifically Habit 1: Be Proactive, I thought this tidbit applied to the conversation: "Over the years, I have frequently...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Sorry @eliquid - this statement amused me, just because of the amount of writing you have done on this thread alone, and how much value you have provided in it. Hate it all you want; you'd be damn good at it. ;)

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I found them perfectly cohesive, actually, even in the opposite order. Naturally, some of the concepts make more sense after reading them both, but I think that would have been the case regardless of the order in which they are read. It was really just a happy accident I read them in that order...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've officially finished the audiobook of Millionaire Fastlane. I read (listened to) Unscripted first, and now that I am done with them audio-style, I feel the need to buy the hardcopies so I can annotate and underline and highlight and generally destroy them as I continue my learning on this...

    Achieve Laser FOCUS + PRODUCTIVITY With The System Legendary Fastlaners Use...

    GOLD! 
    I've Trello'd before, on and off, and I feel like I should love it, but I haven't found a way to get it to "stick" in my processes. Started to use this (in Trello) last week, and started REALLY using it over the weekend, and today. I'm liking it so far. We'll see if it sticks, but so far, so...

    Taking Reponsibility for Your Own Life

    MINDSET 
    *DISCLAIMER* This is NOT a religious post. I am not particularly religious, and I don't want this to descend into a religious flame war (and if it does, this entire thread should be closed down and deleted). It just happens to be based on a church sign I drove past on the road to New York from...

    This one makes my stomach hurt and makes me a little dizzy and scares the crap out of me. Probably means I need to do it. Thanks @StompingAcorns ... :)

    Finding motivation when you have a 9-5

    NOTABLE! 
    I recently read about "Mini Habits" - like one push up a day, 1 minute of meditation a day, etc. Sounds pointless, but to GR's quote above, making it a habit means you no longer have to think about it, you'll do it by rote. And then, once you do your "one push up," you get to choose: do I...

    Entering the Fastlane in 2018! Happy New Year!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I got the "Class Procrastinator" award when I graduated high school, and at the time thought it was a badge of honor (hey, I still graduated, and with a 3.7 GPA, even as a procrastinator!). Over the years, though, I've struggled more and more against it, and have continued to try to find ways...

    BADLY Describe Your Profession...

    I convince people to hurtle themselves thousands of feet into the air behind a 6-foot blender.

    You're from where??

    HOT! INTRO 
    From Columbus, Ohio, if you can add me to the list. Technically from Lewis Center (a little north of Columbus). Since there is literally nothing interesting about Lewis Center, I'll tell you a couple interesting facts about Delaware, OH, the closest "city" from Lewis Center: 1) When the capital...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted (audiobook). Was initially put off a little, but continued through it, and ended up loving it! It's definitely one I'll listen to more than once. Also bought TMF, and will start listening to it on my drive home, this evening. Thanks for putting this out there, MJ!
