The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco

Entrepreneur MJ DeMarco explains how most people fall into the default Slowlane because that’s what they’ve always been taught to do. Following ‘The Slowlane’ means they’ll never grow rich until it’s too late. He says it’s the process that dictates whether and how people become rich, and that following the wrong process will mean that mediocrity is the best that can ever be hoped for, unless sense is seen and the process is changed (which can be done, but requires a total rewire of the mindset).

Are you a busy fool? Now, I don’t mean a fool in a derogatory way. You might not have heard the phrase before.

Durham City developments and the small trader

Durham City seems to have been a building site for a long time now. The building of the two roundabouts at Leazes Bowl and Gilesgate took an age to complete, disrupting traffic and visitors alike. Then there were the repairs to Millburngate Bridge, and further digging up of Nevilles Cross. Now we have the changes in the City centre. New student accommodation is being built in Claypath, the Old Hospital on North Road and at Neville’s Cross. The old Passport Office demolition and the remodelling of the Millburngate shopping centre mean that the West side of the river will change …
