    How are you leveraging AI to improve yourself?

    MINDSET 
    My teenage son recommended it last week, and it's been an absolute game-changer for me. One of the standout features of Perplexity AI is its flexibility. You can choose from various language models, such as GPT-4 and Claude-3, to tailor responses to your needs. I use it for initial context and...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I listened to the audiobook ages ago. Sorry! Didn't get around to posting here until MJ's recent "encouragement" to stop forum lurking and start participating. Anyhoo, here are some key stand-out points for me that build on the other two books. I like the parable format The Dog on the Nail...

    INTRO 
    Hey Nat, Welcome to the Fastlane Forum, where escaping the 9-5 isn't just a dream but a blueprint! Your story hits home with me. You've been hustling since you were young, selling bikes like a mini-Musk, while others bought the priciest ones. Feeling the need to escape mediocrity? You're in...

    Goals and focus

    MINDSET 
    Congrats on your 8-week goal monogamy! You've been in a committed relationship with your goal, and it's clearly been paying off. In the past, I've tried a number of goal setting techniques. For me, the one that stuck was the Jim Rohn approach. (Check out the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Planner...

    How are you leveraging AI to improve yourself?

    MINDSET 
    I use a coding assist (Github Copilot) AI-driven search (perplexity.ai) Generative fill in Photoshop I'm weaning myself off the last one because I'm cancelling my Adobe license. Not sure what I'll replace it with. I make video games and it's useful when the artist hasn't given me enough...

    What is the best website builder tool for my business?

    WEB DESIGN 
    I especially like Elementor and Thrive Themes. Both are WordPress based. https://elementor.com/ https://thrivethemes.com/ It depends on your requirements. Elementor is more powerful but more technical. Thrive Themes is great for marketing/sales-focused pages. If you have basic tech skills (to...

    I stayed in touch with them but they were not interested in my industry niche (child care), so we decided it probably wasn’t a good fit.

    Best Way to Move from EU to US? Any Success Stories?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    It's challenging for sure - harder with the E2 (which can't be converted to immigration intent) than L1 (which is considered "dual intent"). But my experience is long term there can be ways to adjust status with both, if that's what you want. For me, the important thing is to build a business...

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    That's not been my experience. My wife has the L1 visa based on her business and I have the L2 as her spouse. I'm free to work for someone else or develop my own business on this visa.
