    Leaving Family Business to Pursue New Skills... Am I forsaking the right thing to do?

    Go sell cars and learn how to communicate. You probably always can go back to the bakery, which makes it an awesome safety net. IMO, you have unprecedented opportunity and the whole question, shouldn't be a question.

    Pretty safe assumption... on a planetary, historical scale, time's win/loss record is: 190,000,000,000 to 0. That's 190 billion wins. 0 losses.

    I like to think so because they carry hard assets that will reprice to whatever is going on with currency. Bottomline, when the dollar collapses—and it will— everything will take a beating, question is, which will be impacted the least.

    The Elephant In My Mind: Fear of Failure

    MINDSET 
    Look into the spotlight effect... no one really cares that you fail. This is all in your head and it isn't something that should kill your dreams. There's real fear, like facing a tiger, and faux fear, like placing a Facebook ad and losing $100 on a product that doesn't sell. Also, you made...

    Or write strongly worded letters with our fists in the air! Woooo! I recently wrote a check for taxes, in jest, I asked my accountant who I should write the check to, Ukraine or Israel?

    Random thought... What if current interest rates is a psyop to get trillions of money flow into short-term US treasuries (currently paying a cushy 5%+) so the government can then default on it, and erase much of the debt? Paranoia? Perhaps. But being right on this notion will cost me 100% and...

    BAD advice you wish you did NOT hear

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Which is my point, but when taken literally, it might not fit. Billionaires get there because one of their ventures gives them the "f-you" money, or a pile of cash where new ventures are de-risked. Of course, this first venture might only be $1M, 10M, or 25M... the amount is irrelevant, what is...

    Getting the MOST out of Fastlane (Required Read)

    HOT! IMPORTANT! 
    It's amazing how, no matter how big or red this notice is, people still fail to read it, much less abide by it. And then after I ban them, I get hate mail or threats.

    INTRO 
    Welcome aboard Jasmine from a fellow left-hander, phenomenal introduction. Is your husband on board for a better life? Or is he of the "this is life, deal with it" mentality? I spent most of my adult life in AZ and the area is rife with opportunity.

    Nothing wrong with friends who have jobs and are Slowlane... But this is a dealbreaker and a friend-ender. You don't need people in your life who don't support your growth, and instead want you chained, stagnant and kept losers like them. On the flipside, stop talking, and start doing...

    Yea, the spread ate up what would have been a 60% gain, so I wasn't planning on waiting around... the stock went down about 40% since I bought the position.

    I had to settle for a 48% gain in 2 days. Exit liquidity is pretty poor with a lot of slippage so I tried to get out earlier than I wanted.
