    Some Updates on my Journey (Need Help moving forward)

    MINDSET FTE 
    Hey guys, 27 yo dude here, still living with his parents. I've been feeling very down on myself and kind of a loser (I don't wanna beat myself up but I'm just being honest). To make a very long story short, here's a review of what I've been through in about a year: 1) Tried to start a web...

    Can't take the stress or depression? This might help.

    MINDSET 
    Recently, I've seen many people on this forum deeply stressed out. To the point where some members throw a tantrum, ignore all advice and decide to take the easy way out by leaving the forum. In this post, I'm going to talk about ways in which you can relax yourself and prevent perhaps...

    HOT! MINDSET

Basically, I'm going to be doing a progress thread on getting out of a very big slump I've been in for a the past few months. What I'm going to do is find what has worked for me in...

    Feeling lost...

    MINDSET 
    When I was 18 years old I didn't go to college, instead, I moved to another country to pursue my dreams, but I just action-faked, and now, I see myself being 25 years old and still working at a shit job at a warehouse without any other source of income. I made many mistakes during my life and...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I love this forum and the amazing ideas that are being discussed over here. I've learned a lot and got inspired by other's stories of success. I used to post a lot and I was very optimistic and tried to encourage other users when they were posting about struggling in their life. In the last few...

    What's Worse than Death?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    With this post I am going for GOLD - grab a cup of coffee and let's go for a ride... I haven't posted for a long while and there is a good reason for it - Although I had made a decent recovery before (please read my story HERE), I had slipped through the cracks again. Badly. As the saying goes...

    How to help friends?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't have any money, plausible job, any specific degree to help them. 1. One of them worries about future, what to do or what I gonna be. Sometimes, he says " I'm also worried about corona virus in U.S.(he lives in U.S.) 2. another of them has panic disorder which happens while he thinks...

    Depressed, No Direction or Motivation..

    MINDSET 
    I'm really sorry if this will sound lame(especially right now when the world is going through a crisis) but I don't know who else to turn to, it's really difficult to find someone around me who really understands what I'm going through. I find myself in this situation and I just can't seem to...

    Am I depressed, lost or just lazy?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    As I start writing this, I'm not sure if this is a question or just a rant, but there it goes... I've always said to myself and others that my goal is to become an entrepeneur. But this year I turned 30 and I still have nothing to show for it. I have a somewhat successful slowlane career in...

    Hey folks, I’m new here, and perusing the forum tells me I found one of those great communities. Originally an Idaho farm boy, I’ve been bouncing the idea of entrepreneurship around my head for a few years and I’m looking forward to the next steps I get to take to make my dreams a reality. So...

    Dealing with depression as an entrepreneur, figuring things out as I go

    HOT! 
    I haven't really spoke to anyone on here about it or mentioned it to anyone but I need to hear some advice from fellow entrepreneurs as it's hard for others to relate, and I don't have a strong support network. I've dealt with persistent depression since I was young. I'm not sure why I have...

    Let's Talk About Entrepreneurial Depression

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    It's a tough topic, but one that should not be taboo to talk about. If you choose the life of an entrepreneur, there's one thing you need to accept that's not in almost any business book: Your probability of being depressed, stressed, and anxious skyrockets. You're 4x more likely to be...

    How to start your fastlane journey if you are disconnected to the idea of it?

    Hey guys, great to be here, I will keep this concise. I was introduced to personal development just over 5 years ago. I found MJ's (TMF) book and it is hands down the best I have ever read. I am at a point now where my desire to become rich is still strong, but my desire to execute and do...

    Up and down: what happens after a full blown existential crisis?

    FTE INTRO 
    I had just turned 18 when I begun working as a web developer for a local start-up. I had no idea what to expect. Previously, I used to code at home 13 hours a day. No, not because I was passionate about it, although I didn't hate it either. I did it because I had to. External factors forced me...

    Depression: Are any successful entrepreneurs even affected by it or do they just snap out of it?

    Hey Guys, Today, I wanted to talk about something that I haven't found a lot on and I know that it's not something fun to talk about, but I really think that it is important to do so. I recently came out of a depression that hit me really hard for a 2 months and before getting hit by it, I was...

    Mental Health, Depression, ADD Discussion Thread

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Mental health? Yes. An awareness thread? Mhm. But... why? I know. We‘re here to talk and discuss about entrepreneurship. The Fastlane. The Unscripted life. Beneath all that, underlying like a red thread binding everything together, in my opinion, is one thing: value. It‘s value, that we...
