  • The Fastlane— working hard today on something that people value so that you can become wealthy in the next 5-10 years.
  • Wealth, like fitness, requires hard work, discipline, and delayed gratification.
  • The way to build wealth quickly is to dramatically grow your income while controlling your expenses.
  • The Fastlane road is all about business, self-employment, and entrepreneurship, and about building wealth rapidly.
  • Fastlaners view debt as a useful tool for growing their systems, time as their most important asset, and making something of value as their primary means of wealth accumulation.
  • In terms of building wealth, the goal is not to do the heavy lifting, but to create a system that does it for you.

  • The worst debt is any debt or spending that consumes the last 10 to 15 percent of your monthly income – this keeps you from saving and investing for your future.
