Forgive me if this seems like a rather silly question. In MJ Demarcos book, and throughout similar advice, it's stressed how difficult it is to arrive into the Fastlane. 80 hour workweeks every week, nonstop toil and no reward. Sounds like quite an adventure.
I'm not as financially ambitious as I once was, for some reason. Maybe you can blame comfort. My life is currently on the slowlane. I'm a Software Engineering student, and I'm not going into debt for school, I have most of my immediate financial needs taken care of at the moment, etc. etc. If I wanted a 'job' I could find one within a year thanks to my skills. I'm very fortunate and grateful to be where I am.
Oftentimes I wonder if I should take the Red Pill and focus on building a Fastlane Business.
I understand the value of hard work, 100 percent. You work hard & smart and you will create your own luck. I work hard but I don't know how anybody can push themselves through what seems like... misery? From how it's put, it sounds as if you're not able to be productive for 12 hours a day you will not succeed.
I am not opposed to being subject to crazy amounts of work, but I don't know how I'll establish that kind of work ethic when I don't need it.
Is it possible to build a Fastlane business in what seems like most peoples workweeks? What I'm asking is am I just dreaming by thinking that instead of working 40 hours a week writing somebody else's Software, I could slowly but surely build my own Fastlane business?
I think it's plausible to build a Fastlane business putting in 30 hours a week hard labor, plus extra.
I want you guys to tell me how I'm wrong and why.
I'm ready to do this.
