Interesting article I came across, living life in the slowlane without any direction/goals in place.

Imagine someone who’s “done all the right things” their whole life.

They…

Studied hard and went to a good school
Got a good job
Met a nice girl/guy and got married
Had 2 kids and bought a house
Saved some money as they grew older

I should add: Here is where I found the article, on a 'deals (coupon-cutting)' website for Canadians.

WE DON’T SAY: “Maybe I should have learned how to make myself the best candidate by cultivating mentors, becoming very good at my job, and building a network of supporters.â€

It reminds me of something my dad once said:

"Save a little money here and a little money there, and by the end of the year you'll be surprised how little money you've actually saved"

good read. I'm surprised that most people choose this method instead of the fastlane. both are hard to do, but the other is so much more fulfilling. Just wish i decided to do the fastlane a little earlier in life. oh well, live and learn, move forward.

Out of one of the comments

I think most people are afraid to want bigger things in life because that means they will be responsible for their own success or failure.

"RIGHT" things as defined by whom? If one takes to heart to the programming put forth by those who were indoctrinated into a system that encourages the industrial mindset which is based in the scarcity model, their output will obviously mimic the results of others who followed that antiquated system.

How about this: He who serves the highest good profits most.

Or, brashly, one could be a cog in the wheel. The world needs followers too.

I've had this site bookmarked for awhile, but haven't really gone headfirst into it. Ever since reading MJ's book, I've been a little weary on what I mess with in regards to business, ha! Anyone ordered his book and such? Just wanted an opinion from those who have already scoped the site over before.
