A cool place
First there is this thread by @MJ DeMarco :


which basically says don't ruminate about things you can buy when you got money.Instead,focus on the process to get the money in the first place.

Then there are threads like this:




which are encouraging those very behaviors.

So,Which thread should I follow?

Without reading them, I'm assuming the first one is talking about meaningless dreaming with no action, and the second two are talking about focusing on your goals to keep you motivated whilst actually doing something to move towards them.

If you want to buy a Ferrari, don’t ask what color to buy, ASK what you need to do TODAY to afford it in a future TOMORROW. Asking anything else that won’t get you from STEP 1 to STEP 2 is a waste of energy.


MJ literally explained it in the original post..... lol

There's a difference between dreaming and only dreaming, and dreaming but also taking action.

There's a difference between dreaming and only dreaming, and dreaming but also taking action.

Goals are dreams with deadlines.

Set goals.

A dream is thinking about which color/model Ferrari you want to buy. A goal is figuring out what you need to do to buy that Ferrari.

Thread one...

If you want to buy a Ferrari, don’t ask what color to buy, ASK what you need to do TODAY to afford it in a future TOMORROW. Asking anything else that won’t get you from STEP 1 to STEP 2 is a waste of energy. Worrying about STEP 32? You’re wasting energy.

Thread two...

I've put this in off topic as it is more dreamer than progress but thought it would be fun to know peoples reasons for going into business/wanting to make a decent amount of money.

One thread is about how to take action in a meaningful way.
The other thread is about what motivates us to take action.

Grammar Rant
The title of this thread is confusing.

The Fastlane Forum is clearly laid out, organized, efficient, and easily navigated. Your title should read:

“It’s hard for me to understand these threads.”
