* OBJECTIVE: TO FIND THE 1 OR 2 CORE PROBLEMS, NOT THE SYMPTOM, BECAUSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WE NEED TO CURE THE CORE PROBLEM, NOT THE SYMPTOM.
* PROCESS:
1) SUMMARIZE ALL THE UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS/PROBLEMS INTO 5 TO 10 ITEMS–> CURRENT REALITY TREE;
2) TRY TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO OF THE UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS/PROBLEMS.
3) TRY CONNECT ALL THE UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS/PROBLEMS BY USING THE EXPRESSION: IF…….. AND …….., THEN…….
* EXAMPLE IN THIS BOOK: A SON ASKED HIS FATHER TO USE HIS CAR WHILE HE IS AWAY ON BUSINESS TRIP FOR 1 WEEK BY PROMISING TO PAY THE GASOLINE BY HIMSELF, HOWEVER, HIS FATHER IS RELUCTANT TO LEND HIM THE CAR. THE REASON IS BASED ON HIS LOGIC ANALYSIS AS FOLLOWS: . When someone can use something regularly, it will become a habit, THEN, you get used to have your car at your own exposure.
>>>If….and….then….(expression) ..IF you get used to have use your car at your own exposure, AND I don’t want to share the car with you, THEN, you feel bad.
* CONCLUSION: What you need is the intuition to the subject and the willpower to do the meticulous work. It takes about 5 hours or so to use Theory of Constraints to IDENTIFY the CORE PROBLEMS, NOT the symptoms, to solve the problems.
* IT IS ONE OF THE MARKETING BOOK THAT SHOULD BE READ AS A BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN.
** However, the process of logic thinking or analysis can be used for almost every situation with constraints or dilemma in order to find the two or three core problems, hence reach the WIN-WIN solution.
Idea to Fastlane: 1) Control your own business, 2) Leverage it (Time is sold for money, this is not Leverage); 3) Hard work doesn’t feel like work, in fact I enjoy it. Felt Rich and happy. 4) Automation and Process—> Money Tree grows money (the money rolls in) –> Fruit bearing money tree that requires only a few hours to flower it.
The book starts with questioning what is the True Wealth? According to the Author, the True Wealth is not defined by material possession: Money or Stuffs. 3Fs are the fundamental of True Wealth: Family: Relationship, Fitness: Health and Freedom: Happiness.
Normal is the modern day of slavery. Society’s Corrupted Definition of Wealth–> Normal is corrupted.
Misuse Money and Money will Misuse You.
He goes to question: Money can’t buy happiness? Is it true? Used properly, In reality, Money buy freedom which is one fundamental of happiness.

Other wisdoms of the book: * Wealth is not the Road, it is a journey. That is to say, what is matter is not the final destination, but the whole process of reaching and enjoying it… * Deem WEALTH as a construction work, as selling many products_ instead of thinking of yourself as a consumer, build the mindset that you are a producer, and always keep it in the foreground. * Even if you have found a way, but if you never think it right way, it never turn into the Fastlane. * You can come up with an idea of a good solutionthat has market potential and can make you rich, however, this will happen only if you move other pieces of the game: ** Project Execution; ** The Marketing; ** The service or consumer service; ** Your Product; ** The ideas. * Execution is the King; and the ideas are the pawns. * Burn the business plan; ignite the execution. * Paulo Vieira, “Enrichment Factor”: the enrichment journey is made up of peaks and valleys, so be prepared and willing not to stop midway_ never give up make you millionaire. * Lynda Gratton, “The 100 Year Life”: people must move from 3 stages: education, work, and retirement – to a multiple-stage life, that requires flexibility, and change in the way time is used. * Jill Schlesinger, “The Dump Smart People Do With Their Money”: people should not invest their money in what they don’t know. * Stop thinking like an employee and at the end of his life will bear the fruits of his efforts. * Work with purpose and passion to stay motivated regardless of difficulties. * Wealth does not depend on formulas, but requires beliefs, lifestyle, and the processes that you define. * Create product Solutions that ensure process automation and income that is not dependent on your workforce. * Stop planning and execute! Use execution learning to improve planning, creating an efficient and productive cycle.
