    Cutting the bullshit -- going fastlane in 2013

    It's been a while since I've posted here; I've simply been going to school and living a mostly regular life (which, for me, would also include a lot of independent reading). Intellectually, I know what it takes to become a fastlane entrepreneur, but for some funny reason, it hasn't happened...

    Numismatics vs regular gold/silver

    INVESTING 
    It's getting pretty clear (if it hasn't been for a while now) that owning some precious metals is probably a good idea. Despite the continuing debate on whether hyperinflation or deflation will occur first, it's always good to diversify and hedge against potential problems anyway. What are your...

    Comment on Instagram's Success

    SOCIAL MEDIA WEB/DIGITAL 
    I haven't researched all the details regarding Facebook's purchase of Instagram a while back, but I do know that Instagram did not have revenue, did not have a plan to generate revenue, and that Facebook paid $1 billion for it nonetheless. I also understand that it's quite a task to get ~30...

    Is anyone here (aside from MJ) an information marketer?

    Just wondering. If so, I have a few potentially personal questions, if that's cool. (Don't worry, we're anonymous here, unless you used your real name as your username...:rolleyes:)

    MINDSET 
    A young man asked Socrates, "What's the Secret of Success?" Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him into the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates grabbed the young man and then pushed his...

    You, yes you: what's stopping you?

    EXECUTION 
    Unless you post here for entertainment, you probably want to earn 6 or 7 figures a year. Also, chances are you're not quite there yet (or even close). What's stopping you from hitting the numbers you've set for yourself as a goal in your mind? Some examples may include (but are not limited...

    Anyone here use a Kindle or another e-reader device?

    I read a lot of books, and have accumulated a relatively large amount of them by now. As a minimalist, however, I hate clutter, and I generally think that collecting or acquiring material items is a useless endeavor. While it's nice to look at a small library of books--I find that glancing over...

    Limitless: The Movie

    Is anyone here familiar with the (excellent) movie Limitless? (If not, Wikipedia has you covered, but may contain spoilers -- just a fair warning: Limitless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) So basically, the main character takes a superdrug that unleashes 100% of his mind's capacity, which...

    Happiness = $60k a year?

    Happiness Is Earning $60,000 A Year? » My Money Blog “Below 60,000 dollars a year, people are unhappy, and they get progressively unhappier the poorer they get. Above that, we get an absolutely flat line. I mean I’ve rarely seen lines so flat.” “Clearly… money does not buy you experiential...

    Critical Mass vs. Automation

    Let's say your goal is to make $600,000 a year passively ($50,000 a month). Would you build a business worth millions and eventually try to sell it for a whopping $12 million? ($12 million invested at a conservative 5% per year yields $600,000 a year in passive income.) Or would you "simply"...

    Is Dubai the "Galt's Gulch" in reality?

    Dubai, where capitalism is basically religion, seems to most accurately represent Galt's Gulch (Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand) in today's modern society. The great nation of America is becoming more socialist by the day. For those who haven't read Atlas Shrugged, Galt's Gulch can be explained here...

    Fellow Fastlaners, question about the Law of Affection

    EXECUTION 
    In the book [The Millionaire Fastlane], it goes something like: To make millions, you must affect millions. All right--understood. Makes perfect sense. So I've been doing a lot of thinking about this lately, and I've concluded that in order to effectively affect millions of people, I am...

    Remember this? Why Passion Is Worthless Unless It Translates Into THIS… Next time your rent or mortgage is due, try paying it with PASSION. Passion doesn’t pay the bills! Not that anyone here needs any further validation (at least, I would think not), but it is noteworthy to see billionaire...
