Kindle Notes & Highlights
No money can keep you from prison or purge your soul from the foolish horror of taking someone’s life.
His choices loaded the gun, but someone else pulled the trigger.
Every day you make decisions that will ripple through the years. The question is, will your choice ripple to happiness and wealth? Or depression and poverty?
A Fastlane process is hundreds of choices.
You are exactly where you chose to be.

A luxurious car would always be “out of his league,” so his choices would reflect that mindset.
$10,000 a month is a lot of money! It isn’t. Money is infinite.
However, I did find 24-year-old millionaire inventors, business founders, authors, and website owners.
If you want extraordinary results, you’re going to need extraordinary thinking.
What is the worst-case consequence of this choice, and is it a DARE? What is the probability of this outcome? Is this an acceptable risk?
Win the street race—I’ll win life.
Yes, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
Your past never equals your future unless you allow it.
Just because you flipped burgers three hours ago doesn’t mean you can’t be a millionaire next year. The universe forgets, just like the universe forgot I mopped floors and delivered pizza not long ago.
A man only learns in two ways, one by reading, and the other by association with smarter people. — Will Rogers
Go into a kindergarten class and ask the kids how many of them can sing. EVERY hand will go up. Fast-forward 13 years and ask the same class of seniors the same question. Only a few hands will go up. What changed? The kindergarten kids believed they could sing because no one had told them otherwise.
Extraordinary wealth will require you to have extraordinary beliefs.
If you turn your back to a headwind, it becomes an accelerant.
Going Fastlane and building momentum will require you to turn your back on the people who spew foul headwinds in your direction. You must break free of society’s gravitational force and their expectations. Suppose you aren’t mindful of this natural gravity.
Friends and family who just don’t get it. Media and educational institutions who preach Slowlane dogma. Parents who are conditioned to believe wealth is for other people. Slowlane gurus who claim your house is the best investment. Slowlane gurus who say $100 invested today will be worth $10 million in 50 years. Your environment.
Every entrepreneur has bloviators in their life.
If not, you need to pick better warriors for your team.
When anyone asks you to give your time, they’re really asking for a chunk of your life.
Value your time poorly, and you will be poor.
I don’t need television because I invested my time into a real-life worth living, not a fictitious escape that airs every Tuesday night at 8 p.m.
You see, once your time is gone, you’re dead. And when your clock ceases to tick, no amount of cash will save you from the end. Fastlaners understand that time is the gas tank of life.
So next time you whip out the Visa, calculate the actual cost. How much free time is this going to cost me?
Behind poverty’s tangled roots, you will find a poor valuation of free time, which breeds from bad choices.
Fastlaners exalt time as their primary consideration in decision-making because it’s our most valued asset.
Sidewalkers and Slowlaners use money as the sole criterion in decision-making: Which job pays the most? Where is the cheapest item? How can I get some free chicken? Money is scarce, and time brings up the rear and sweeps up the mess. If you want to be rich, you must start thinking rich... Time is king.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. — Albert Einstein
Oil is education. Knowledge. Street smarts. But be careful . . . it must be the right oil and for the right purpose.
What you know today is not enough to get you where you need to be tomorrow. You must constantly reinvent yourself, and reinvention is education.
When you continually inject yourself with new education, skills, and competencies, new roads open, and things run smoothly.
New opportunities rarely follow an old education.
you are your own university.
my vision of a website didn’t end with “I don’t know how,” but started there. So, get your head out of the bag!
The acquisition and application of knowledge will make you rich.
So, where do you find infinite knowledge inexpensively? Like the air you breathe, it’s all around you, like an apple tree waiting to be plucked.

Driving University: Listen to audiobooks or financial news radio while stuck in traffic. Traffic nuisances transformed into education.
Don’t sit there and twiddle your thumbs—learn!
No one cares.
A $50,000 seminar exploits what we producers know: People are lazy. People want it handed to them. They don’t want to read and connect the dots. They want to be steered and hand-held, or even better, have it done for them entirely. People want events, not processes, and what better event than a $50,000 seminar or coaching program!
Business?
Fastlaners aren’t interested in being a cog in the wheel. They want to be the wheel.
Money trees, businesses, and systems aren’t built overnight.
No, this isn’t an overnight thing. There’s a profound difference between interest and commitment. It is defined by the quality and consistency of your actions.
Elon Musk didn’t improve rocketry by interest; he was committed. Interest is quitting after the third failure; commitment continues after the hundredth.
The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!
