action faking

If you've read unscripted, you know what I'm talking about. Theres a dog at a gas station, he's whining and a man notices and asks the attendant why. The attendant says the dog is laying on a nail. The man asks, Why doesn't he just get up? The attendant shrugs and says, "it must not hurt bad...

Hey all, So this post is both 'seeking feedback' on an idea through the lenses of your experiences and to put my project to paper in the hope that it helps others come up with a starting point. I have domain experience in cyber security and cybercrime through my job and after reading MFL and...

Hi all, Some background for anyone interested. You may jump to the next post if you are not interested in the recent history leading to right now. Born in Brazil, scripted family, scripted friends. Always felt like Neo, believing that there needed to be something out there. Searched about how...

I am an action faker. The moment I think I do something useful to free myself from my self-enduced, painful environment, it's: Not really useful Giving me a false sense of satisfaction Making me stop working towards a better life. What is happening in my life (which is what was happening 2...

For those who don't like to read, you can skip to the part after the bold text: "So my point is" I read MFL and Unscripted almost a year ago and then I did absolutely nothing. I felt inspired for a few days but then I fell back in my old lethargic ways. Why? Because of bad habits: smoking...

Hey guys, I start this thread for action-fakers wannabe entrepreneurs like me... So last month I finished The millionaire fastlane and Unscripted, I've started reading a lot (on the fastlane forum, recommended books...), trying to search the big idea that will make me a millionaire, trying to...

OK, here it goes. I know I was supposed to do this 3 1/2 years ago, but better late than never. I’m a university grad, born, raised, and schooled in the hellhole known as Toronto. I majored in finance at a business school, & got a job as an accounting clerk shortly after graduation. During the...

It started on May 25, 2016. I remember I was finished with my high school finals and was glad it was over. Since I had nothing to do, I spent that time playing Black Ops 3 zombies ($59.97) on Der Eisendrache ($14.95). While I was playing BO3, I went to my laptop to search up different guides on...

I have 2 stories to share. I think it's easy to get involved in the fastlane here, and start to lose sight of how most people in the world actually are, and hopefully you can realize that it isn't actually that hard to set yourself apart from most. It really just takes some legit effort and...

I was thinking it would be great if anyone else had *short articles* for learning, to keep them all together by topic. So I'm hoping others will suggest other sources here on this thread. Here's my suggested read. While I disagree with it about avoiding all luxury, point 2 about needing an...

that grand award goes to me. By this October, I would be here for two years and I can't express my gratitude to this place and especially for @MjDemacro in words . During my stay here I've grown as a person and learnt many amazing lessons of REAL LIFE thanks to this forum and Mr.DeMarco's...

** Background ** I'm a "software guy". I'm just starting my journey. I don't know what exactly I'll build, but it'll most likely be software, likely a SaaS. I have some ideas that I'm testing currently. I feel very comfortable with the following already, and use a lot of these: Servers...

Hi everyone, I've posted here a couple of times, but I haven't made a proper introduction yet, so here it is. I'm 15, and after reading the millionaire fastlane I decided I needed to do something instead of stagnating all day, so took action and started a dropshipping store, pissed away $1400...

I came across this video and thought it might change perspective for anyone who can't stop reading self-help books, watching motivational videos and scrolling for the next inspiring article. I've been there,sometimes i still find myself there. You know the words you mutter to yourself: "...

References: Gleeo (Android Time Log App) The Effective Executive (book Peter Drucker) This post will, in my opinion, make you super effective and will limit action faking over action taking; unless you really, really enjoy lying to yourself, in which case I can't...

"Keep your friends close and your enemy's toaster." - Ricky Last January my brother gave me a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad and it changed how I saw the world in many good and bad ways. My views on money were thankfully changed and I began seeking the adrenaline rush that is entrepreneurship...

“Ya’ll running from obstacles, when in fact, its the obstacles that will take you to the next challenge.” - Eric Thomas Once upon a time… I action-faked a lot. I would often do everything I thought was necessary to get things started with business, and then when it came to execution, I...

Just turned 19 today and I don't feel any different. Why? Because that biological birthday means nothing. My true birthday will be the day I don't need to rely on handouts from my parents anymore. Just like John D Rockefeller forever celebrated the day he got his first job and thus his...

New member of TFF dropping by... I thought I knew what it took to be successful until I read TMF. My understanding was scanty, TMF gave me the big picture. And on reading the action faking thread, I just found a word that accurately describes what I had been doing. I was action faking! Well...
