    Introductions : Shutting Down Solopreneur Video Production Business in 18 Months in South Korea

    INTRO 
    Hey Boss, it’s 2IAN. Just a quick introduction about myself: I'm 33 years old, a college dropout, Asian, and living in a tiny studio apartment with my girlfriend. I attended community college until my late twenties, so I don’t have much work experience because I spent a long time in school...

    How I overcame my mental blockades (communication,sport,…,…)

    MINDSET 
    Today I wanna talk about a very important topic for myself : Mental Blocks. And how I managed to overcome them. Chat Gpt (not really reliable but a rough number for my post is important) says 1 from 4 people struggles with mental blockades in their course of their lives. When I joined the...

    Struggling with the Slowlane: Seeking Advice and Perspective

    MINDSET 
    Hello Fastlane Forum, I’m reaching out to share my current situation and seek advice from others who might have faced similar challenges. I’m currently living in my parents’ basement, struggling with depression and a lack of direction. Despite having completed my studies, I haven’t been able...

    I stood beside it for way too long... What a waste... Don't do the same...

    MINDSET 
    Saying you want to start a business and change your life while lying around and "preparing" is like standing at the edge of the swimming pool and saying you want to swim... Reading books about swimming. Cleaning your goggles. Buying nice swimming shorts. Looking around for the best pools in...

    Focusing on Ideas is focusing on Events - Focusing on Execution is focusing on Processes

    MINDSET 
    Inspired by Derek Sivers' short but sweet blog post. In TMF, MJ talks about how a business is built by a long process, but what the public sees is often just a singular event much later in its life, e.g. its IPO. In a similar way, focusing on the idea for a business or seeing another business...

    A Useful Idea from Philosophy to Identify Self-Limiting Beliefs

    MINDSET 
    I was inspired by some recent responses by BizyDad to another forum member about their self-limiting beliefs, and it reminded me of an old philosophy idea I came across from David Deutsch called "anti-rational memes". Note that memes are being used in the evolutionary Richard Dawkins' sense of...

    No Better Time To Get Ahead

    MINDSET 
    There have never been more sidewalkers. Hell, it seems like less and less people are even in the slowlane. But if nobody is on the road, that means it's wide open for you. In a world where the average American is spending 7 hours a day on a device, out of shape, with no direction in life, it...

    Looming redundancy, am I risking too much for my e-commerce business?

    QUESTION 
    Hi all! Series of events from this year: March 2024: Had an idea for a product, this transformed into an idea for an e-commerce business. The product is a unique board game that will target the South Asian diaspora (upwards of 18M people globally). The idea for the game was born out of a...

    My path to greatness. No distractions. No disturbing outside noises. Focus.

    EXECUTION 
    Today I spent a few hours brainstorming ideas, and I also set up a way to track all of my ideas and organize them. I have colorcoded them so I can easily see which ones to keep in mind or see if there's a market fit etc. Now I ended up with 8 proper ideas that provide actual value. I marked 4...

    If i haven’t seen anyone do it, is it a bad idea

    IDEA 
    I’ve been inspired by @piano to dig deeper and soon start my own window cleaning service. Lately i have noticed for the past 10+ years living in my neighborhood there are a lot of people who have done lawn services, car detailing and even pressure washing but I have never seen anyone go for...

    Is it possible to look forward to working on your business just as much as weekends and vacations?

    MINDSET 
    I'm away for 10 days next week for a holiday and it got me thinking. We all look forward to weekends and vacations for a bit of relaxation and a break from the routine, but what about our businesses? Do you find yourself just as excited to get back to work? Can we cultivate the same sense of...

    Current business isn’t CENTS but I don’t want to quit - Momentum paralysis or something else?

    FEEDBACK 
    Hello all, So my current business isn’t CENTS, I’ve thought loads about quitting because of this but here’s the current situation: I really enjoy this business, it’s a business I created within one of my passions so I was thinking, is there really any need to quit it? It doesn’t take too much...

    I've had a huge mindset shift since starting here a month ago!

    MINDSET 
    A month already? Omg. Before I joined the FLF, I would let most anything distract me from my project and creating it. And now, a month in, and after having read a bit of the forum every day for that whole month, my mind has shifted to absolutely despising distractions of any kind. I will avoid...

    Existential Thoughts: Change My Mind

    HOT! MINDSET 
    At the risk of outing myself as a psycho... This post is going to get kind of dark and difficult, but it highlights a core perspective in my life that I do not know how to change and am not sure needs to be changed. If you believe I should approach life or business differently than I have in...

    What's your motivation to make a lot of money?

    MINDSET 
    Hello fellow Forum Members! I'm thrilled to share my very first post with you all. We're all aware that money is a necessity in life. The real question is how much we earn and the means by which we do so. Around two years ago, I delved into the book "Unscripted," which fundamentally changed my...

    "To fly, cut off the weight holding you down." Dare to raise your head and look at the sky.

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    "To fly, cut off the weight holding you down." Limitations are necessary, but they really suck. Especially when they are unchangeable and caused by external reasons. As someone who wants to achieve my dreams with hard work, I hate when external reasons limit them or delay them. I live in a...

    I Accomplished My Goal... Now I'm Completely LOST (Success= Depression?)

    IDEA 
    I don't wanna make this thread, I hate not being useful giving value. I try to create more and consume less. I visualized myself writing a Journey doing my projects here on the Forum, instead, I'm writing this asking for feedback and advice. I live in a Shithole nation so even basic things like...
