    Finding Purpose - how did you do it? If not, let’s find out!

    BOOKS MINDSET PEOPLE 
    I have been contemplating this a lot recently after experiencing most things I wanted to experience in life. For example I lived on a tropical island in Thailand during Covid which was one of my dreams. I don't think purpose can be found in this reality; it must be based on something that...

    DO NOT LOSE TO YOUR EGO

    The Diagram is correct. When I first started programming I thought I was excellent at it and one of the best in the region. It took 7 years to become one of the best. Also just as important is once you get to the top you must remain humble. Achieving success is dangerous if you don't...

    Solo-Preneur to Entreprenuer Transition Advice

    Hello Fastlane Members, I decided to hire my uncle (part time to start) to assist me with Business Analysis. Hopefully later he may also be able to assist me with managing the contractors. I also reached out to a woman I met at an industry conference last year to see if she would be...

    Dating & Girlfriend

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Thanks for everyone's feedback. I decided to hang in there a bit longer. I will be seeing Porsche girl this week and I will be calling a new girl tonight. If nothing develops with these two girls I will then take a break from dating and focus on my business.

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    <quote>That's the thing, it shouldn't be a drag at all. It should be fun. Your only sweet dilemmas should be which one of your options to choose. There's an abundance of women. And the only drag should be having to wake up early after nights filled with passion. </quote> The primary reason it's...

    DreamsCameTrue, I am surprised you believe women are so adaptable. I basically go in with the belief that people don't generally change. They can act / pretend for several months but then their true nature will eventually come out and they will bounce back to their original being and values...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    MJ, I read your book two years ago. Last week I bought the audio as I realized I need the Fast Lane mindset to be cemented into my subconscious. I listen to your audio book when I drive. I read your book while I am on the bathroom throne each morning as well.

    "And there's too much to it for me to write it in a post. But once mastered, it really makes the dating thing very simple and enjoyable" I can totally see how dating can be enjoyable once you have attained your financial goal. But right now I generally find dating to be distracting and...

    Dating & Girlfriend

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    She was / is actually a pretty cool girl otherwise and I didn't close the book on her yet. She is very maternal and I believe she would be devoted to raising a family and be very loyal and supportive. She is intelligent, feminine and has confidence. I didn't find her stunning in the looks...

    "sweet girls whose biggest concern is to catch a nice husband, get married and have children." This is what I am looking for. There are elements in the bold and determined article I don't completely agree with but I am definitely looking for a woman devoted to family with traditional values...

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Thanks for all the responses and feedback. I appreciate it. I read all the comments, read the bold and determined article and watched the Corey Wayne video. For the first three months of dating I was meeting the women on Match.com and Eharmony. After three months I realized it's extremely...

    I was reading some of the other posts on this forum and came across the below video: I think Kevin O'leary answered my question, although I do think if I found the right person it would be an asset to business acceleration. Sometimes I just need to unplug and have fun on the weekends. I just...

    Hi Members, I wanted advice on girlfriends and achieving financial independence (freedom). I read MJ's book 2.5 years ago and since then I created a niche software product that has been well received. Last year my income was $150K and my goal for this year is $250K. I am currently 37 years...

    Pure Commission Sales Compensation Structure

    I just had a conversation with a sales director about this topic. He recommended I keep it simple and give him a straight commission across the board. I decided that is what I will do. Thanks for your input everyone.

    Pure Commission Sales Compensation Structure

    Because I want him to be motivated to sell the software at the highest price. He is trying to mitigate his risk with the bracket approach just in case the expected $100K+ sale turns only into just a $30K sale. He is willing to take less commission on higher sales for the security of having...

    Pure Commission Sales Compensation Structure

    His argument is that it takes about as much time to close a small deal as a large deal which is generally true. The product is software so the sale is almost entirely profits. I am thinking of just giving him a straight commission across the board and if he feels a customer is too small of a...

    Pure Commission Sales Compensation Structure

    My salesperson is purely on commission. Today he approached me with a restructured commission proposal. 20% commission for a sale between $10K - < $50K 15% commission for a sale between $50K - < $100K 10% commission for a sale >= $100K This structure doesn’t make sense because he won’t be...
