>By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. Instead of taking a form
for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the move. Accept the fact that nothing
is certain and no law is fixed. The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as
water; never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes

The 4d chess meme really is true. He did become a billionaire and was one of the best at Whartons. He also spent his life around some of the most elite, intelligent minds there is. Everything he does is always steps ahead.

Attacking priebus, MSM ect

Law 45 -- Preach the Need For Change, But Never Reform Too Much at Once:

yeah, he does make people nervous. he does intimidate. he does say little.

law 6 was uncanny. especially during the primaries. people forget that parties very rarely stay on after an 8 year term. For me the republican primaries were more important the the general election, as I was pretty sure that it would go red.

Here are the laws I don't think Trump follows.
Law 1 -- Never Outshine the Master

Law 41 -- Avoid Stepping Into a Great Man’s Shoes:

Law 47 -- Do Not Go Past the Mark You Aimed for; In Victory, Learn when to Stop:

Last few that apply to Trump Im just reading them randomly and its just opinion.

Law 44 -- Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect:

Law 40 -- Despise the Free Lunch

Law 33 -- Discover Each Man’s Thumbscrew
Remember Jeb?

Law 32 -- Play to People’s Fantasies
Obvious.

Law 23 -- Concentrate Your Forces:
Massive rallys more than any president in history.

Nice ID

Read the book. Never Outshine The Master has the counter of when you should. If it doesn't make you look vicious, take down your master and take his position.

Law 6 would be the number 1 law if he does follow it. And holy shit it worked.

Yeah not all 48 laws apply for everyone and a few are just stupid. But so many do reflect Trump. Maybe this shit is common knowledge to the elites before it was written in 1998.

This is now strategy thread.

Post your fav strategy books which can be actually applied in life to win battles, in family, office, and world.

>Millionare fastlane
Being wealthy is not about money, fancy cars, expensive vacations, or vacation homes in Fiji. Being wealthy means being healthy, being surrounded by great friends and family, and the freedom to live life how you want to live it. DeMarco calls these the 3 Fs (family, fitness, freedom).
Faux wealth is the illusion of wealth. It’s having nice, flashy things that you can’t afford which take away your freedom and make you even more dependent on your existing sources of income.

There are three financial roads:
The Sidewalk — living well today at the expense of having more security tomorrow. The Sidewalk’s destination is being poor.
The Slowlane — sacrificing today so that you can be better off in the future (the opposite of the Sidewalk). The Slowlane’s destination is mediocrity.
The Fastlane — working hard today on something that people value so that you can become wealthy in the next 5-10 years.

Observation #2: People who drive Lamborghinis and jetset around the world did not get there because they “Got Rich Slowly” by investing in mutual funds, clipping coupons, and maxing out their 401Ks. Those techniques are not an effective road to wealth.

The “Get Rich Slowly” approach is faulty because it takes a lifetime of work, it’s dependent on getting lucky with your investments, and even if you do get rich, you’ll be too old to enjoy it.
Except for very few people (i.e. lottery winners), wealth is not an event but a process. People focus on events like selling their company or winning a big contract, but the real story is not the events but the processes and hard work that made those events more likely. If you skip the process, you won’t get the events.
People come up with all kinds of reasons for why they “deserve” to be wealthy: they come from a prestigious background, they have a great business plan, they think positively, they are “doing what they love”, and so on. None of that stuff matters. Becoming wealthy is not about having the right prerequisites; it’s about taking smart risks, putting in the hours, and not quitting.

Wealth, like fitness, requires hard work, discipline, and delayed gratification.
A good process creates events that others view as luck. People see how you’re lucky to go to the school you went to, lucky to find success with the product you launched, and lucky to sell your company; they rarely realize all of the work and sacrifices that went in to get lucky. Thinking that people get rich because they are lucky is a very disempowering belief.
Sidewalkers tend to pursue wealth events (lotteries, casinos, etc.) instead of processes. They assign control of their financial future to others (banks, employers, etc.), which greatly increases the chances of becoming victims and having poor results.
The Slowlane is a poor choice because wealth is best enjoyed when you’re young, and not after decades of soul-sucking work. Furthermore, there are many factors outside of your control (like how your 401K does or whether your house price will appreciate), and it’s possible that after all of your sacrificing and patience, you still won’t end up wealthy. Plenty of people lost 50% or more of their savings during the recent housing and financial crises.
Slowlaners: give up their time for money (spending an extra 2 hours on something is “worth it” if it saves $10), budget aggressively and look for deals and coupons, and believe that compound interest will make them rich. Some of these strategies are fine (it’s not bad to look for deals or to have a budget), but the problem lies in these strategies being the entireplan instead of being part of a bigger plan. Slowlaners sell their Monday thru Friday so that they can enjoy Saturday and Sunday — both literally and figuratively. People wouldn’t trade $5 for $2, so why would trading 5 weekdays for 2 weekend days make any more sense?
“By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day” — Robert Frost

Dangers of the Slowlane:
What if you lose your health by the time you’re ready to retire?
What if you lose your job, hit a ceiling on the corporate ladder, work in a dying industry, etc?
What if your home value plummets instead of rising like you planned?
What if you’re not happy living a frugal/basic
Differences between Slowlane and Fastlane millionaires:

Slowlaners take several decades to accumulate their fortunes; Fastlaners usually take 10 years or less.
Slowlaners need to live in middle-class homes; Fastlaners can live in mansions.
Slowlaners let the market control their assets; Fastlaners control their own assets and have the power to change their value.
Slowlaners are employees; Fastlaners are employers.
Slowlaners user mutual funds and stocks to get rich; Fastlaners use them to stay rich.
Slowlaners let others control their income streams; Fastlaners control their own income streams.
Slowlaners use their house as part of their net worth;. 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 contrast, Slowlaners view passive investing as the means to getting rich).

The Fastlane is all about “Get Rich Quick”, but that is NOT the same thing as “Get Rich Easy”. It will take a lot of work and you might spend 5-10 years focusing on your business before you reach the kind of success that you want. The upside is that once you’ve reached your desired level of wealth, you will have the freedom to do whatever you want for the rest of your life.

The millionaire fastlane is a very good book, I think I should go back and read it.

Incorrect. When Trump became president he didn't make a big party to celebrate unlike Clinton had planned. He made a speech and kept himself outside of the media attention for the most part. He is humble and didn't rub his victory of having become POTUS. The same goes for his inauguration, he said he didn’t want anything big, but to make it quick as possible to start working.

He won, that was it. No big party or celebration. He is following that rule.
