I came across this blog post through the SEOMoz newsletter. Some great Fastlane Wisdom here. I've quoted my favorites.

Entrepreneurial Lessons: 48 Things I Know Now That I Wish I Knew Then

Sometimes people won’t understand your dedication to living the life most people won’t live now to live the life most people can’t live later. F*ck em. You answer to you

When your gut tells you to get out of a business relationship – be it a client or a partner, listen to it. No matter how big the check is or time commitment has been.

Never friend a client on Facebook.

Don’t buy sensational “make money while you sleep” courses – take online business classes, online programming classes, online marketing classes. Tons of online schools offer them. Self knowledge you can actually use is power.

They say no press is “bad” press. In my opinion, that’s bullshit. Be remarkable without being an a**hole.

If you make a mistake, own up to it – quickly and humbly. The mistake will eventually be forgotten – your reaction to it won’t be.

Don’t spend like you’ve got a blank check once you achieve success. Pay off your mortgage, stack your kids college funds and your own personal savings. This game (and the revenue you make from it) can change at any time.
