Finally switching gears

@MJDemarco

What-ho, here I am, and all that.

My top impression from the two books: I have to build a machine to build my pyramid.

Because the machine is so far from being built, I will leave the pyramid as-is for the moment. I have about $50K in savings, tied up in Finance industry GICs that I could cash if I wanted to, and my only debt is on my house. I add something small to my money system every week.

I have a job, and I am earning a good slowlane salary. However, at age 40, the...

Help improve my site / company?

Hi guys. Im looking for tips on how to help improve my company. Its very small currently and looking for ways to get new customers. Basically myself and another guy check what peoples former employers are saying about them in their job references.

The site is www.checkyourref.com

We are currently advertising on facebook, google ads and linkedin ads, we are having a few customers but not enough to be worth while after removing costs of the CPC's....

Fastlane Fantasy Football (2017-18!)

Yikes, it's that time again!

Our league will reopen again very soon (August) and if you played last year, you get to reclaim your spot. We have removed one player for being a dick.

If you played last year and don't want to this year, please let me know as I'd like to shave down the league to 12 teams vs 14. 14 is just too much and it makes the waiver wires thin.

OR, we can have TWO LEAGUES -- perhaps the forum has grown enough so we can support 2, 12 team leagues.

If you're...

In the footsteps of a giant

Ay... My mentor...
He landed the biggest fish in the sea. Apple.
Before that, disney, sony, etc etc.

I look at him and I think "wtf is this?"

It is mind boggling.
But I was there in a sense. I know what he did. I know the struggles he had and how he overcame them. The question isn't IF I can do the same, it is just that WOW, is it ever crazy what he is upto these days!

I take solace in the fact I was taught by one of the best.
But yeah, nothing makes you feel out of touch like seeing it...

Wanting Something New

After reading MJ's books, I was enamored. How could someone put so many of my exact thoughts into a couple books? It's like he was reading my mind. I was instantly impressed and had to come over here and start an account.

I live in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I'm a slowlaner currently. Almost every single person in my family is a slowlaner.

Good story though: Funny enough though my uncle is a chronic sidewalker. He spends as if there is no tomorrow. Money to him is debt plus income....

Finally! A book that finally answered my BILLION QUESTIONS!!!!

I've already read a lot of books on how to create wealth.... and I am always looking on the step-by-step... zero to millions.... how to create your first 1k.... etc...

But TMF really answered all my questions on how to create wealth! Looking for the step-by-step process is BS!

I have already finished a lot of courses and nothing actually happened. Why? because what attracts me on these courses and books are the EVENTS!!! when it comes to the PROCESS I am a No-no.

Just do some ACTIONS -...

A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

Recently I made it my No 1 priority to achieve financial freedom and as evident from the title, freedom to wake up when I want and live my life on my terms.

Trying to test my business ideas, I have already had a couple of disappointments but I expect a lot more to come, nothing worth gaining ever comes easily.

I am starting a new thread to monitor key stages in my development as I have found this to help a lot with accountability and hopefully get some good advice as well.

My goal is to...

September 2017 | Onwards & Upwards

I finished TMF yesterday. Today I attended my uncle's funeral with the few remaining members of my utterly dysfunctional ancestral family and I am totally, emotionally wiped out.

Reading TMF has opened up a cobweb-covered box of dreams I shelved a long time ago.

I am going to re-read TMF, read Unscripted, make a plan and get going.

But right now I am going to sleep because I've been up two nights with a sick toddler and I've been over far too much old mental ground from the past today,...

How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

Hi guys, just a quick suggestion on how to get rid of negative friends. While most people say it takes effort to get rid of negative friends, I respectfully disagree. The most easiest way to get rid of negative friends is to concentrate on your business and self-development and they will get rid of themselves. How so? It's pretty simple actually: negative people look for approval and attention, once you direct your attention towards positive activities they will no longer have interest in...

What's the Price Tag of Fear?

I am inspired to write this post by a talk I just had with @Andy Black.

Let's go back to the future a bit. Back in 2015 I was a bubbly sales guy, working for a global recruitment agency dealing with clients and candidates in Russian, French, Spanish and Irish markets. I was talking 5 languages fluently, was fit, and vibrated self confidence. Not for long...

In the beginning of 2016 I quit my recruitment job and jumped straight into entrepreneurship. I was so...

Alien Visit

I was thinking the other day: why we've never encountered an alien visit...

And I came up with an explanation that maybe aliens haven't chosen to visit our solar system,because we've only one star and that they're looking for solar systems with 4/5 stars rating instead!

Staying on the Fastlane

Hi guys,

After reading "The Fastlane Millionaire" 2 years ago I joined this forum and ever since did not achieve anything of major significance.

In those 2 years, I did some freelance work which was the most entrepreneurial thing I have done besides the online skateboards shop I ran as a teenager. I also finished Computer Science degree at the top of my class which got me a steady corporate job at a well-respected company where each new day has become the most miserable day of my life....

Hello Fastlaners!

This is my first post here (even though I read the forum for a year or so). By the way, I talked with MJ and he gave me permission to post this here.

I will try to keep the intro as short as possible while giving you some background info to understand what's going on.

1. The past
I'm 17. In my country there are different types of "lanes" in high school, and I was in the toughest one. Loads of chemistry, physics and math. Most students in my class went to school from 07.00-16.00, and after that they'd go home to study some more. They literally had no other life besides studying.

This got me thinking. They're wasting their youth on reading stuff they'll forget 90% of, for what? Some DISGUSTING 9-5 job where they'll make around $3500 a month...

Need some direction here, since I don't know what I'm doing. I've run a FB page for years that grew & grew to 3+ million followers. It.
