Top 5 takeaways from The Millionaire Fastlane:
0:00 Intro
01:29 1. The Sidewalker, The Slowlaner & The Fastlaner
04:24 2. The Mathematics of Poverty & Mediocrity
07:19 3. The Mathematics of Wealth
10:03 4. The 5 Fastlane Commandments
12:57 5. The Law of Effection
TL;DW:
- Your beliefs form your actions. Try to change your attitude to that of a fastlaner, and you will see results in your personal finances down the road
- The sidewalk is mathematically predisposed towards poverty, the slowlane is predisposed towards mediocrity and …
- The Fastlane is predisposed towards wealth. We want to stack the mathematical odds in our favour.
- A Fastlane business should fulfil as many as possible of the following 5 commandments: control, entry, need, time and scale
- Provide value in scale or magnitude to become a millionaire
My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

Magnitude and scale - good one. Compounding only works best if have either the magnitude or the scale to back it. Compounding $100 at a 10% interest won’t help you fly. 100 units of $100 at 10%, or $10000 at an even lower interests of 8% will do way better. 👍🏻

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

It is true. Getting that starting capital is very important for your investing success. I would emphasize that it's good to practice investing with a small account first though, I'd much rather make my first mistakes with a $10,000 account than a $1,000,000 one 👍

"we want odds in our favour" and "therefore, we want to start a business" are contradictory. The amount of new business that go bust is staggeringly high, and even of those that survive, the ones that actually make the founder a lot of money are few and far between.

[@therighteous802]

I'm no expert, but part of it might be that the type of people that have this drive tend to try again and again. So if it takes them 9 failed attempts to get to success on the 10th, they are still going to make it and the stats will show what you are saying. It's just a thought, I've never had a business.

[@-RockOn-]

You don’t get it. He’s talking about your odds of becoming super rich. Your odds of being wealthy by doing job are going to be none or very very slim. But your odds of making it in business are going to much better. The statistics tell us that 3 out 10 business get successful in North America. Which means your odds right of the back are 3 out 10. Then you can improve those odds by changing your mindset, I know this sounds odd, but it is very true. There are roughly 10 to 15 common things that millionaires do to get successful, and more than half those things are to do with how they think or react to a situation. 1 example is poor people think business = risk, rich people think business = freedom of time and income. There is a lot more to be said on this topic but I just gave you small jist.

[@sleepless2541]

@@-RockOn- so you think if all aspiring business owners would have the "millionaire mindset", all of their businesses would be successful? so let's say all business owners have the millionaire mindset then every single one of them would be successful and the odds stacked against them is no longer there? yeah, don't think this is true, if what you're saying is real we'd have much more rich and successful business people nowadays, anyone and everyone attempting to open a business would be successful as long as they have the "millionaire mindset", and we wouldn't have people being employees anymore even in a hypothetical world where all business owners have the millionaire mindset

[@-RockOn-]

@@sleepless2541 I did say "The Odds" of being successful would be much better. The problem is that most people who go into business go in with a neglect mindset. They assume that because they now own a business they are thier own boss so now they can work when ever they want, sleep when ever they want etc. While that is true it also means you have to work a lot harder. "Millionaire mindset" talks about these things. Poor people say Life Happens Rich people say I will work hard to make my life better. Now just because I say "I will make life better does not mean it will happen. I actually have to put the work behind it. If you look at most successful people in the world (mind you I said successful not rich) they have a few things in common that dont find in unsuccessful people. Eg work Ethic, Rich Mindset, Discipline, Desire to achieve something etc. Having a "Millionaire Mindset" is not what makes you successful. Doing what Successful people do and thinking the way they think is what helps you get closer to your success. Your right 7 out of 10 businesses in North America go out of business but do you also know that 5 out of those 7 go out business because the owners never realized the work ethic it took to actually run that business. In your own neighborhood choose 2 restaurants, Same food same size, same location, one successful and other one not. Then you see what the differences are. 1. Attitude of Owner right from the beginning 2. Work Ethic. I am boss so I can sleep in. I am boss so I have to be the first one at the restaurant. 3 Coacability and ability to accept new information. I already know how to run a business, don't teach me how to do vs I would like to learn more from the successful business around me to adopt change and get more successful. 2 out of the 7 businesses go through a personal tough time. Financial or Family or something out of thier own control. These business owners I feel for because it wasn't something they could control.

[@thomasmineo]

It seems to me that the fastlane is still limited. It is limited by skill (necessary to have control and barrier to entry) which it self is limited by time. Instead of building a business you could just at well "get good" at your job and increase your salary to the point it ain't stuck to time (stock options, bonus, results based pay). In the end the secret to getting a lot of money seems to be to just get good. And there is no secret to that.

[@mainyoutubefang5655]

Not necessarily, if you start your own business YOU CONTROL how fast you progress depending on how fast and how much work you put into learning the material and educating yourself from books and content. COMPARED to a job and corporate no matter how advanced you might be, ultimately how fast you progress through the ranks depends on the company aka SOMEONE ELSE. They might promote you every 5 years (or even every 10 years…. yikes) and by the time you reach the top it will already be 20-25 years later which would make you fit the sidewalk and slow lane box more since it took you so long to do this. Learning a SKILL through entrepreneurship is often times faster since you don’t depend on anyone for your progress and you can fail and try again over and over again. You can’t experiment as much with a corporate job.

[@edgbarra]

You definitely need skill. But I think with the "be good at the job" approach you would need much more. Even if you get to the point of getting bones and stocks, that also takes time to bring you enough money. It has other advantages tho, like more stability which can bring peace of mind

[@MrVafflis]
