    Thanks for the reply and your thoughts @ryandoak, yes agreed would be violating the commandment, though so far I’m learning a lot.

    Thank you for the feedback @Dark Water, very true it’s helped a ton to see the process first hand. If there is a next time, I’ll be ready and better prepared!

    My pleasure @Kasimir, I would recommend getting out there and networking with people then and seeing who it’d make sense to strike a potential deal with, makes a difference when it’s not quite as much a lonely journey. Wouldn’t say it matters too much what my business as that might only confuse...

    I ALMOST slipped back into the script

    MINDSET 
    I just wanted to share a quick story of how this forum almost saved me making a costly mistake, by slipping into the scripted mindset of servitude, stress and anxiety. See, I banked my first $40,000 from my digital business (mostly from affiliate marketing) and decided to purchase a property...

    Big Life/Financial Decision, What Would You do?

    Hey guys! Ok so I wanted to give an update, I'll treat this thread almost like my diary and it helps to keep me accountable / document my progress which will hopefully help others on a similar path too... OK so just over a month later, I'm doing the following: - Given notice to my landlord to...

    Arnold on Direction, Ignoring the naysayers and working hard

    MINDSET 
    Brilliant. Really liked the part about having "no safety net". This is something I've always thought about and he's right, it detracts from the Plan A. If you fail... IT'S OK. Nothing wrong with failing. Winners get back up, losers stay down.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    So I have had a good amount of experience here, lived in Andalusia 6 months a year for around 3 years and it really does depend on how you want to live you life. I was lucky enough to start building a fastlane business early on, by no means was it game changing money but it gave me the ability...

    Should I buy a house?

    MINDSET 
    If it were me buddy, I would focus on building your cash flow, get sales cranking in until you can comfortably buy a house and take on a new liability without thinking about it. I had a similar issue and realized I hadn't built enough rocket fuel in my business to warrant releasing a large...

    Emergency Fund, Do You Have One?

    MINDSET 
    Nice! Yes personally, I think it's also smart to have cash saved for a rainy day, I do understand skills are what you can rely on, for me having the skills to make money + a cash cushion would psychologically put me in a perpetual relaxed state, I think that is unparalleled.

    Emergency Fund, Do You Have One?

    MINDSET 
    Hey there fastlaners, Wanted to share one of the most beneficial (albeit not the most exciting), ideas I've picked up from slowlane financial books + resources, and that's building up an emergency fund. Now I know those looking to build explosive income, aren't necessarily focusing on building...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for the heads up man! Really inspiring to see you making big moves. I have 2 years of trading history running a separate business (not in property), have been told there's a few lenders that will lend to first time buyers having created a brand new company as long as they have proof of...

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    Thank you @MJ DeMarco, you probably know this already, but your works really are changing lives, mine included. Have only been active on the forum for a week or so, and can already feel my mind and belief system changing surrounded by forward thinking people looking to make the most out of the...

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    Love that! Thank you for your thoughts, I totally resonate. So difficult to "go against the grain" when you're putting in the actions surrounded by the mainstream, but with persistance the long-game will come out on top I'm sure. Looking at buying rentals before buying personal real estate...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hey Jordan, great thread! Awesome to hear how you maneuvered opportunities for yourself. You mentioned looking to eventually purchase real estate, most house hacking advice is very US centric. Being based in the UK also I've done some research and it seems more difficult to house hack legally...

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    Hey there guys, I'm interested in which camp you are in, have you bought your residence? Or do you rent? Was speaking with a long time friend earlier today about the concept of buying a house to live in rather than the typical "throw money away" on rent argument you hear. Went to the mortgage...

    Generalist Vs. Specialist

    Great topic. I also am a generalist because I see so many possibilities in this world. But I also see the value in being totally specialized, honing the skill and leaning into it. Doing one thing great vs lots of things ok? I would rather have choice, diversification, experience as a...

    Big Life/Financial Decision, What Would You do?

    This quote has stuck in my mind Tiago, and you know it's actually given me an idea to create a new scalable business to run parallel with my online business instead of buying something to live in myself which would have near wiped me out. Continuing to stack the cash over the next few months...

    Big Life/Financial Decision, What Would You do?

    Really interesting Matt. Thank you for your perspective, renting looks to be the best option for me at the moment and to keep building the business. Appreciate the input.

    Big Life/Financial Decision, What Would You do?

    Thank you MJ, I appreciate the guidance! You're right there's no rush, keep stacking the paper and building the business until getting the mortgage becomes a no brainer.
