Ok, so I was thinking that this are the key points of what I've learned from all members on this forum.

I don't know if there's a thread like this one already, if so just close this one :)

What I learned (or things I already supossed but where confirmed by the forum)

Concepts:

- Your most important asset is your time
- Its never to late to change your life
- Where slowlaners see problems, fastlaners see opportunity
- In order to become successful, first you must know yourself
- Failure is one of the best ways to learn
- Success is more than money

Rules:
- Successful businesses are based on solving people needs
- You don't need a lot of cash to create a successful business
- Usually, if everyone is in a certain market, the opportunity has gone
- Being rich is just a consequence of good choices

As I stated, this is only my POV. I cited some threads just as a follow up to the concepts, but off course others may take another lesson from each thread.

I'm sure there are some things that I'm forgetting, you are all invited to complete this thread :smxB:

Cheers! :thumbsup:
