    EXECUTION 
    Hi Fastlaners, Those who follow my progress thread know that I've been an Amazon Ads manager for well over an year now. I and one of my connections have both decided to structure the work that we do in the form of an agency and develop the capacity to serve bigger clients. I keep hearing from...

    Should I work on building a community in college?

    I love marketing and psychology. I've done 2 small experiments such as applying a persuasion technique I learned in a book on students and teachers to get what I want, one of them which helped me gain the special favor of the chairman and hold special Computer Science final exams for me without...

    Most Computer Science Students Build "Projects" The Wrong Way...

    CHAT SAAS / APPS 
    I'm about to clear my first semester in Artificial Intelligence, and I've realized why most CS graduates are mediocre. I want this thread to be a treasure for any Computer Science student so they can pick ideas from this thread and work on "projects." CS graduates are focused on "programming"...

    Feedback on Pitching Investors at 18 with an Idea

    IDEA 
    Execution is king. Everyone agrees. Pick an idea you like and go. But it's a different story when you're pitching your idea to others. I will be pitching to guys from the government (or investors) on my idea. I need feedback on how I can deliver a successful pitch. I've written a pitch deck...

    Dealing with Loneliness after changing priorities.

    MINDSET 
    I'm going to let some weight off my chest. I'm sometimes thinking about how I lost my friends after I decided not to become a doctor. I don't feel guilty. It's just that 2 years ago I could've never imagined not becoming a doctor and choosing CS in university. I was that kid in school who...

    Going on a Gap Year before Joining College

    MINDSET 
    For those who have not been following my progress thread, I'm an 18-year-old A+ student who was lured into choosing Medicine to become a "doctor" and be "successful." While I don't discourage this route, I was doing it for money and it wasn't something that I loved. When I discovered TFLF, I...

    Ask Me Anything About Amazon PPC

    MARKETING 
    So I've been thinking about creating this thread a long time ago because I noticed that there isn't a dedicated thread for Amazon PPC on TFLF. It's sort of a mini version of @biophase 's thread, except it will be more focused on how you can use Amazon PPC to your advantage. (You can also ask...

    Am I lacking definite purpose?

    MINDSET 
    A while ago I wrote down my purpose. This was what I wrote: "To add value to others' lives and leave a legacy behind. Be the one who others look up to. Achieve everlasting freedom." The thought of having money also drives me, but I know money can't be a purpose. Purpose can't be something...

    Stay Away from Upwork until you're 18!

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    So I sign my first contract on Upwork (yay!) and I get a notification. I need to submit my About ID (Government ID) I realized that I'm under 18. I open a new tab, type my query frantically, and open the first result. "You're not allowed to use Upwork until you're 18" I guess I'll have to...

    A snapshot of The Fastlane Forum on 5th Sept 2010

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This one will be nostalgic for @MJ DeMarco and other users I've seen on the web archives so far like @Vigilante. This is the oldest snapshot I could find in the internet archives. Thanks to the Wayback machine, new users can get a glimpse of what TFLF looked like (and the old book cover)...

    Don't Question Life Wisdom

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Today, after 5 months of setting off the Fastlane journey, I realized I haven't gotten the results I expected. Why? It's because I questioned wisdom. I chose to act like a high intellect guy that knows everything and plans everything with mathematical precision. I chose to follow baseless...

    Greed as Catalyst? (Thoughts on Greed)

    MINDSET 
    Most of us have been told by our parents when we were young: "Don't be greedy, let others have some too" "A Greedy person is never a good person" "Do you want to eat while he's hungry?" This just randomly popped up in my head. I started to think like, "Hey, greed might not be bad at all...

    Do I Really Need A Daily Schedule?

    MINDSET 
    Ok, I'm going to admit that I'm a lazy person. I lose track of time very often and I've been recently working on fixing it. But then my mind tells me, "Do you really need a daily schedule? You don't even use it". Ever since I started working as an intern I feel like I'm working the whole day...

    Confronting my career dilemma

    Digital marketing or Programming? Digital marketing: Digital marketing agencies are growing like mushrooms nowadays, is it a good choice to go further down into this field, since it has now a low barrier to ENTRY? At the same time, I can't deny learning marketing because it's a valuable skill...

    Did I jump into the deep ocean too early?

    MINDSET 
    Today, for the first time in my life, I indulged in stress eating. Maybe it's because I got a task assigned I didn't expect. Either way, this is not an entrepreneurial topic. What happens when you have a strict deadline and no idea of what to do with the task you're assigned? Panic. As an...

    Is Click-baiting a part of Copywriting?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Several years ago, when I would binge-watch youtube, I would end up clicking clickbait videos because they triggered my curiosity. Is click-baiting a vital part of copywriting?

    Age 17, am I really heading towards Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    Age 17, I have no one to talk to around me and tell me if my goals lead me to Fastlane (in my family and friends). That was until I found MJ and his books. I'm blessed with a virtual family of entrepreneurs who I want to be rather than a government employee. My family tries really hard to talk...
