Aged 49, quit the fastlane (it doesn't work)

[PureA]

Remember that guy? you know... that guy! He was solving problems, helping people, giving value... he has been at it for 20 years now… never found success though.

Remember this story? no, neither do I. It’s because it doesn’t exist.

Offer value and and success has no choice but to find you. Failure becomes impossible.

Keep Grindin'

I was strictly going by the thread title. Alas ...Now I am calm again! !! .....I was about to tell lots of stuff that would raise eyebrows here. I'm not rich "yet" but I do know ( like you ) it is probably mathamatically impossible to fail at the fastlane game over the medium to long term.

Yes, once you have learnt the key that it's all about providing solutions to peoples pain points then it just boils down to plan, implement, test and refine. As MJ says it's a process. Keep at it, fail forward. Rinse and repeat. Eventually it will happen for you as thousands of entrepreneurs over the years can attest to.

I think for some the hardest part is wanting it enough to, firstly, start and secondly continue on that road to success.

I'm doing a lot of research on these stumbling blocks at the moment for a book. Deliberate habit formation can help with commitment and therefore continuity but creating an artificial trigger to build a deep seated desire where one doesn't already exist is all together more difficult. We don't all have that one epiphany that changes our lives.

Again the late Jim Rohn talks about the day that turns your life around:

it is probably mathamatically impossible to fail at the fastlane game over the medium to long term.

Imagine a coin toss. Say heads you're successful, tails it doesn't work and you learn.

If you flip 30 coins, you soon find out it is statistically and mathematically impossible for you to keep getting tails.
You could have long streaks of just getting tails, over and over and over.
But over time, As long as you keep flipping,
you WILL get to the heads.

It's a percentage. 50% of the time you will get heads.

Same thing in business. Maybe the odds just aren't 50% and a bit lower,
But if you keep flipping (creating value and putting it out there),

Mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for you to not succeed

Exactly

I always imagine it as the best game at the casino. You put up your stake, and you can control the odds (to a degree). Could it get any better?! I'm in love for sure.

Bump

Trust the process.

 

[RogueInnovation]

I've seen people say that.
Its because they start to mistrust the method or "way" of it.
Thinking it MUST be evil, and that they had it right the first time they thought of biz.

Biz isn't evil, ignorance is...
And no one can sway you back on path.

Thats why its important to stay curious.


Good post OP
Somethin to think about
