Financial blasphemy: I drink $6 coffee. I spent $5.3M on a 13,000 sq/ft estate w/a $6K mortgage. I have 12 credit cards where $1000s are charged monthly. I dine out 3-5X week. When I shop, I don't look at prices and just throw whatever I want into the shopping cart. Continue...

In 2007, I launched The Fastlane Forum and met 1000s of aspiring entrepreneurs over the years. I soon discovered a complex reality that most of them are LIARS—not to others, but to themselves. Here are the 9 common lies failed entrepreneurs tell themselves:

Private gym, private theater, private garden, private pickleball/BB court, private hot-tub, private pool, private creek, private library, private craft room: Anyone selling you on the stupid idea that over $75K/yr "money doesn't buy happiness" is selling you a pile of shit.

Never apologize for distancing yourself from losers, poor influences, mediocrity gurus, and people who do not support your dreams and goals. And yes, this goes for people in your family who continually hold you back. The pain of regret is far greater than the pain of failure.

The new paradigm of culture: If you can focus longer than 45 minutes on any task; reading, writing, coding, brainstorming, thinking, meditating, and do so without distraction or the need to "connect" -- congratulations: You have a competitive advantage.

Every so often, you should find yourself saying, "Wow, I can't believe I live here." If you don't, you need to move. I loved living in AZ for 20 years. I love Sedona. And I love Utah. Life is short. Live somewhere that inspires your soul.

So many people @ The Fastlane Forum want to change their lives, but are unwilling to change their behavior. PRO-TIP: Your life will change when you start prioritizing your future over your smartphone. Endless hours of TikTok scrolling is making you poor and dumb.

Test drive your dream car for motivation? Try test driving death. There's a cemetery near my home and I occasionally walk through it, reading headstones. It's a subtle reminder to fearlessly live my best life TODAY as one day, I'll be dead.

The secret to winning big is to win small. Show up daily and recognize that all your efforts today will compound into meaningful results tomorrow. The secret to losing is to expect any other secret.

Amazon shows no mercy, cuts affiliate commissions during CV19. I warned about this years ago in Millionaire Fastlane, The Commandment of Control: When you let one entity dictate your income, it's no better than a job. You get your pay docked, or worse, fired. With no recourse.

Once I surpassed a baby-billionaire level (1 billion pennies/net worth of $10,000,000+) I truly felt financially free where the word "budget" slowly left my vocab. If you want to go bigger, you must change your relationship with TIME. Here's 6 ways you need to rethink TIME:

If you're proud of yourself because you read 3,409 books on how to play tennis but never stepped on the court, it's safe to say, you've missed the point, no pun intended. The same goes for business books. Leaning into your 3,410th book ain't gonna change a damn thing!
