    Coming Back - You Didn't See That Coming

    EXECUTION 
    Yeehaw, partners. I bet that when you last saw a post of mine, you thought I was just another dreampreneur who left for a thoroughly slowlane-y life. Well, buckle up, because ever since I left: - I built my first business (2020-2021) which sold educational experiences (basically, good courses)...

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    Why do you think that holding a "Dr." helps you in business? Frankly, aside from insider insight into the industry, having a certificate to your name does not seem to translate into business success. Sometimes, the time invested in getting the little "Dr." translates into losing huge...

    Braindump: Stop Avoiding Silence with Distractions

    MINDSET 
    Just turned off the Spotify lo-fi music on the background. Currently, I'm trying to do "NoDistraction", and I wonder whether background music qualifies as such. I guess it does. Going to try it out for the next few days.

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    In my decision process, I've reached that point exactly. I'm currently thinking whether I want this specific education for myself or not, and if it's worth the time invested (edit: and opportunity cost). In the book "So Good They Can't Ignore You", the author introduces the concept of "career...

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, you've seen the Brazilian "point of view" in these things. The thing about "high salary and status" is real and most communities go crazy once they see someone not going down that beaten path. It's funny because there are a shitload of new medical schools opening, and by the rate they're...

    EXECUTION 
    It does. Thank you for your story. It helped me have some clarity as to some other options available. I'm still undecided about finishing medical school, but seeing the way you structured your own professional live was enlightening. If you please, I would ask you how is your life today in the...

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    Nice to see I'm not the only one who's in medical school and having these forbidden business thoughts. How is medicine seen in Sweden? Is there pressure from your family? Yeah, it is technically possible to take an year off. I'm studying my options, and an year away could clear some...

    I'm interested on your story, W. If you please, I'd ask you to elaborate. What did you ultimately do with your degree as a JD? How did it help you throughout life?

    EXECUTION 
    Hey there, Empires. Saw your message and it got me into full reflection mode for about an entire day. I'd like to thank you for your answer. It reminded me that no one gives a single F*ck about what I want - except myself. And in the end, how I provide value is my decision, and I reap my own...

    It's a viable solution, and one I'm currently leaning towards.

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    "Afford" is quite the concept. In my country there are free medical schools at federal and state universities. When I was 17, I thankfully had the insight that it was not worth it to go half a million in debt for a degree - even if it was the "Great Degree of Medicine". So I insisted in getting...

    Having trouble deciding between college and a business

    EXECUTION 
    So, I'm currently in medical school. The employment prospects are great. The process is absolute shit and I sincerely would like my teeth plucked better than sitting a minute longer in classroom. I posted my introduction here on last year's August. Since then, I've worked everyday on an...

    New Buddy You've Got: Crazy Brazilian Medical Student Giving Up US Residency For Fastlane

    INTRO 
    I'd also like to call on our Saint @MJ DeMarco, on the tiny hope that he sees this young stupid kid starting out and gives more of this much needed criticism.

    New Buddy You've Got: Crazy Brazilian Medical Student Giving Up US Residency For Fastlane

    INTRO 
    Hey Zealander, thanks for giving your time and giving me your advice. Frankly, I'd rather jump off a bridge than go through the residency process and back to that Slowlane again. There's a niche and there may be an unsolved want there - Brazilian medical students suffer through idiotic study...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    So yeah, I read this book. For the third time in my life. I'm 21 now. I am unofficially divorced from the Slowlane. I'm still in medical school, but from now on 99% of my time and energy is focused on building my company MedGenius. I'm learning everything from Facebook Ads, to copywriting and...
