    Continuous suffering: How the development stage can feel like

    EXECUTION RANT 
    I am developing a physical product. I am sharing a stream of my thoughts, I want to just rant about some things I've realized. And share how intense things are right now. It is the 8th month of me just developing my product. No sales yet. I believe in it enough to keep working for 8 months. I...

    Feeling totally lost and down on myself with a new business starting

    MINDSET REAL ESTATE 
    I recently (ish) started a real estate business again after reading Unscripted. I have a W2 income that pays the bills, had a side hustle for awhile that we used to be loose on our biweekly budget with. I lost the side hustle due to cut backs at that venture. Now the W2 will cover the bills and...

    What are you going to do with a chance?

    MINDSET RANT 
    I was given by God the opportunity of being young when I discovered you can become a millionaire at a young age without selling drugs or embezzling government money. Looking back, I had the chance to read TMF 5 years ago when I was still young, and it shifted my whole mindset about what money...

    RANT: $20'000 For a LLC!!

    RANT 
    I live in Switzerland. And it is F*cking sad to start a business here. A sole proprietorship is free but if you want to make a GMBH (the equivalent of a LLC) you need to have a capital upfront of 20k. Reading MJ's book I've saw that making a sole proprietorship isn't a good idea but what...

    Rant: extremely poor customer service, how to react.

    RANT 
    Hi guys, Long time since I’ve posted but I feel like this forum has many good opinions so would like to hear some honest ideas on how I go forward in my current situation. In my opinion, I’ve probably just experienced the worst customer service/public relations situation I’ve ever seen in...

    Marketing Guru RANT

    MARKETING 
    I felt an intense fire of WTF recently thinking back, and figured it may be valuable to share it here. I am half-way through Gabriel Weinberg's book "Traction". Holy mother of god, I feel conned by marketing gurus. Storytime: When I was running my (small) video editing company, I was trying...

    Does going down the Fastlane mean holding off on life?

    MINDSET PEOPLE RANT 
    I know the decision is my own and I’d like to hear your input. I’ve sacrificed a lot these last 6 months. I saved a little cash, moved from NJ to GA for both business and personal reasons, and am currently learning web development to familiarize myself with CENTS (even though freelancing...

    This is how the school system kept us in the slow lane.

    MINDSET 
    You probably have heard things like, “The A students work for the C students.” Which Carrie’s some truth to it, but what it really means is that the ones that didn’t follow orders and had the critical thinking to ask themselves: “Why am I learning this?” “Will this even help me in life?” “How...

    Gary Vee's Spewing Of Social Media Content

    MARKETING 
    You may be thinking.. why am I bringing up Gary Vee? Why do I care? Because Gary Vee's content talking about making ridiculous amounts of content is what started me in my content creation journey and also made it miserable at times.. But that's not what this thread is about. I want to save...

    Swimming Against My Current

    INTRO 
    So far life has been fairly straight forward for me. I graduated college this past May (without debt, thank you parents) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. My only blunder so far (in the world of financial independence) was purchasing a new car putting me a little under 10k in debt. Currently at the...

    Just awakened to a hell of a hangover, please take care of yourself

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It feels so nice to take one too many, especially when meeting friends/partners. Your health is not infinite, sadly - too much indulgence, and you will give away control to your darker self, and be sorry for it afterwards.

    Always an uphill battle always an uphill battle always an uphill battle

    RANT 
    I just need someone to read this. Or the illusion that someone did. Or just taking it out of my chest. Whatever. You know, when I went from making 45k to 56k a year I kinda felt on top of the world because with a $1600 bi-weekly paycheck and $1200 MONTHLY expenses, I had such a big chump change...

    If you think your college diploma is no longer worth it, do this

    Earlier today, I came across an article online that says a man burned all his certificates including his diploma. Talk about "I'm done with all this sh*t" and means it. My reaction, coming fresh from reading The Millionaire Fastlane, was "Damn right dude!". But I cannot find anything that...

    INTRO 
    Hello everyone on the fastlane forum, This is going to be my story, telling (broad-line) details about myself, so a lot (especially the first part) is going to be in the "I" form, as it is the way I experienced it. It includes the events that lead to my way here on the forum, not the entire...

    StoryBrand. 10k for this certification?

    https://storybrand.com/guide/ Has anyone bought this? To become a StoryBrand Certified Guide takes 4 days of intensive seminars for the grand sum of ten thousand dollars. Now, I understand the importance of clarifying your idea and I get that most ppl have no idea how to communicate their...

    Life is a Game Learn to Play it right.

    MINDSET 
    Have you ever play GTA? or my favorite, Chess? I'm reading, unscripted, and so far I'm hooked. I've read an interesting line that resonated with me. To make it short, it basically said, life is a game, yet you rather play a fantasy game, but won't play the game of your life. In chess, you...

    The best job for an aspiring entrepreneur? [Serious]

    Intro: Your job affects your personal relationships, health and happiness. It's very hard to be happy if your job sucks. People doing what they love tend to take better care of themselves, and overall are more happy. I work as a mechanical engineer and find my work to be very boring and...
