    Losers vs Winners

    He rips off the UK government at every opportunity. Very short term, dumps other people in the shit at the first sign of trouble and all round sleezebag. He must be paying a lot of hush money to his Virgin Airlines staff from the 90's.

    Holy shit is this real life?!

    HOT! 
    Maybe I am romantic but I doubt that people back then were as miserable as most are now. It's a question of control, environment and food. Shit food causes inflammation and inflammation causes depression which perpetuates the cycle. Also, if you were a cave man, you went to hunt your whatever...

    What Are the Dumbest Financial Decisions You Have Ever Made?

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yes - I think that's often the case. Trading looks so easy in hindsight and I cannot tell you how many newbie traders I have spoken with who convince themselves that they are somehow special and that the terrible odds don't apply to them. In more general terms, human brains are terrible at...

    Ouch. Binary options are the devil's work!! I think they have been banned now. Here's my story of 'trading' if you'd like to read it Hope Dies Last. You will probably recognise a lot of the thinking processes. I, too, started trading to try and undo a previous mistake and that is why I am now...

    Fired Years Ago, Now Netting $22k/mo

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This is a great story. So good to go back and re-read the post you wrote after being fired. Once things start to turn around, it's too easy to forget how scary it was at the time to be under pressure from responsibilities in the face of a very uncertain future. But there is, for us all to see.

    Enjoying this post a lot. My worst was not buying back into property in 2009/10 after selling around the first top in 2007. I made a lot during the GFC but then didn't switch my view in 2009 when things turned around. I had been so excited by what I thought was a great ability to time the...

    GIVING VALUE REALLY WORKS

    MINDSET 
    I would love to read that story. I just had a similar experience - woke up feeling crappy but had to run one of my support groups. Nothing could have been more effective in releasing all the nonsense that was going on in my mind. Just seeing everyone's faces at the end of the call was enough to...

    From $0 to $ 5k+ / month in 5 months

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    This is the perfect post for me this evening. Signed up a gumroad and I look forward to getting to grips with Twitter. The coaching modality I use is seriously unrepresented on Twitter and a gap waiting to be filled. Thank you.

    Hello everybody. Until we can get over our past losses and what we might describe as 'failures', it's very difficult to move on. The shadow of the past seems to linger and weigh on our creativity and energy. There are zillions of coaches who can help you achieve goals, and look forward, but my...

    My Beliefs Are Holding Me Back

    MINDSET RANT 
    Hello alongthegap Beliefs are memories projected into the future. Memories aren't like files stored in a computer, waiting to be opened and wreak havoc. They exist as potentials rather than things and unless they are triggered by the perception of something associated with the event in the past...

    90 videos in 90 days on YouTube? + Subscription platforms?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks Yaotu - I cannot find the original post where I read this, but going back over a couple of threads, I read that YouTube gives you feedback quickly where there is any interest in the topic I am making videos about. That would be very useful. But of course, if no one watches them to the...

    90 videos in 90 days on YouTube? + Subscription platforms?

    MARKETING 
    Hi, on this thread here My first blog bombed. Should I start a second one?, I read that to get traction on YouTube you need to post a video a day for 3 months. I was very taken with this idea and it felt like a great structure to work with. I posted a few weeks back about making coaching...

    Can coaching be fastlane?

    INTRO 
    Thank you - that is really useful information and now I understand the problem with the 'is this Fastlane?' question - it's missing the point. Perhaps a better question is 'how can I scale this?'.

    Can coaching be fastlane?

    Hello everyone, I've been lurking around a while and thought the time had come to introduce myself. I've read both Fastlane and Unscripted and took my time on both books to absorb the messages and mindset. I have done many different things, including being an artist, a landlord, a financial...

    How I hacked my dopamine to train and reward desired work behaviors and halt procrastination

    HOT! MINDSET 
    All mammals have a PFC - it's reptiles that don't. I think octopi must have an equivalent but that's another story. For me, a big part of the ADD-style brain is that I don't quite decide what I'm going to do from one moment to next - I always give myself a little escape route. My solution is to...

    Is forex trading a fastlane process?

    MINDSET 
    Also, one bad day, one mistake and you can blow up years of hard work. You need to be in top physical and mental condition every day and have to deal with the stress of missing trades, losing streaks and winning streaks and all these play havoc with your mental health. Just like the gold-rush...

    Is forex trading a fastlane process?

    MINDSET 
    Couldn't agree more. Trading has a peculiar allure because it looks so easy and it exploits every one of our mental biases to convince us it's a viable career option. It's not. I worked with some great traders (as a student) and watched them make money day in, day out. I also met lots of my...

    With ADHD there is a lot you can do that doesn't include prescriptions. The main one is to find an activity that works for you. This condition has really been a problem for me in my work as an artist and as a technical writer/web developer. The prospect of a big slot of time and a big project is...
