<div class="contentRow-snippet js-unfurl-desc">Let's get this started with a basic introduction. Hi, I'm James. 19 y/o from the UK, chose not to go university since there wasn't any subject I wanted to study that would suit my direction in life. The big goal is to be semi-retired by 30, but that's okay if I don't get there, I'm focusing on...</div>

Had the chance Monday to interview James (<a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/66317/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="66317" data-username="@Valier">@Valier</a> )<br />
<br />
Was a really cool talk - he had a ton of great advice on his approach, mindset, and Fastlane principles.<br />
<br />
Thanks again James for this!<br />

So many Fastlane principles touched on...<br />
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The process... (vs the event)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The feedback loop...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Going where the market is tickling you...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Value over money...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">How skills, even in failure, accumulate to help you in the future...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The fact that he knew that the stupid "start a digital marketing agency!!" was pretty much a cattle call of low value chased my low value money chasers...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Being receptive to market echoes...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Looking at the whole process as an endeavor for constant improvement...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Better quality, lower quantity...</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Value skewing ... isolating voids in the market, what is working?</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The Lamborghini advertisement getting killed by authentic material*</li>
</ol><br />
* this alone was worth the 20 minute viewing time. People are getting sick of the BS -- "Look at my Lambo! Buy my course!!"</div>
