The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime

Make the world your habitat of play in an organization you control.

There is a difference between “good” money and “big” money. Hitchhikers can make good money while Fastlaners make big money. Sometimes legendary money.

The Fastlaner creates and invests in his own brand; the hitchhiker climbs aboard someone else’s and hopes to piggyback. If you don’t control your system, money tree, and brand, you control nothing. You must sit atop the pyramid and serve the masses. Stop climbing pyramids and start building them.

Fastlaners control their brands, their properties, and their financial plans. They don’t blindly give it to others and hope for the best.

Minimize moronic risk and take advantage of intelligent risk. As for failure, trust me—it is easier to live in regret of failure than in regret of never trying.

While you can’t build cardiovascular endurance without sweating, you can’t experience success without failure. Failure is simply a natural response to success. If you avoid failure, you will also avoid success.

How bad do you want it? How willing are you? Are you willing to sleep in your car for it? Are you willing to live in a tiny apartment while your friends own houses? Are you willing to forgo the new BMW in favor of a rust-bucket with 150,000 miles? Are you willing to wait tables at Maloney’s Bar and Grill while your friends have cushy $50K/year jobs

Skills and expertise are waiting just for you. No one drops a book on your lap and gifts knowledge. You must seek it, process it, and then use it. The acquisition and application of knowledge will make you rich.

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.
