Kindle Notes & Highlights
Determine your number, break it down by the penny, and make it real today. Start saving your loose change, open a brokerage account, and put a chart on your wall that continually monitors your number’s progress.
8. Effection (fastlan[E] supercharger)
“The more people whose lives you affect in an environment you control, the more money you will make.”
Steer (fastlane [S]upercharger) Life’s Steering is a choice. At some point, you must commit to the Fastlane ideology, and that commitment forms your process. Wealth is not one choice (event), just like you cannot choose to lose 100 pounds and suddenly wake up 100 pounds lighter.
To enforce good decisions at the extremes, deploy WCCA and WADM. Avoid DAREs. Decision horsepower is most potent in youth and bleeds with age.
10. Uncouple (fastlane s[U]percharger) Officially Uncouple from the Slowlane wealth equation by creating your business structure in a favorable Fastlane entity: a C- or S-Corporation, or an LLC. After that, your entity is the body of your surrogate business system. It “pays itself first” and the government last.
11. Passion & Purpose (fastlane su[P]ercharger) With a business entity and a dollar figure that outlines your dream life, you will need a Passion and a Purpose to fuel you into habitual action.
12. Educate (fastlane sup[E]rcharger) Education begins at graduation. Pledge to never stop learning.
13. Road (fastlane supe[R]charger) Get onto a Fastlane Road. But don’t worry if you can’t decide which road; the road can pick you. Train your mind to see needs, problems, and ways to improve things through value skew.
Many of the best businesses in the world are based on products that already exist; the owners solve the problem better or more efficiently.
14. Control (fastlane super[C]harger) Control your financial plan as this refers to the Commandment of Control. Engage in an organization that you fully control, from pricing to marketing to operations.
15. Have (fastlane superc[H]arger) HAVE what others NEED, and money will flow into your life. This reflects the Commandment of Need. You can’t explode your income by chasing money. Stop chasing money because it eludes those who try. Instead, focus on what attracts money, and that is a business that solves needs with a discernible value skew.
16. Automate (fastlane superch[A]rger) Automate your business and honor the Commandment of Time. Get your time detached from your company.
17. Replicate (fastlane supercha[R]ger) Replicate your system and honor the Commandment of Scale. Get on a playing field where home runs can be hit. To make millions, you must impact millions.
18. Grow (fastlane superchar[G]er) Grow your business by treating it multi-dimensionally, like a game of chess. Build a brand, not a business.
Treat customers like your boss and reposition complaints to opportunities. Listen to the world as they offer the best directional clues. Resist commoditization. Differentiate yourself from the competition through USP, and multiple value skews. Get above the noise. Focus on one business and one business only.
19. Exit (fastlane supercharg[E]r) Have an...

20. Retire, Reward, or Repeat (fastlane supercharge[R]) After liquidating your asset(s), Retire or Repeat. Regardless of which, Reward yourself for milestones met along the journey.
