Hi everybody, I'm a Spanish 16-year-old with high ambitions who wants to escape the rat race.

I've been on self-improvement for quite a long time: I've been working out consistently for over two and a half years, meditating for over a year and a half, reading self-help books and developing my mind through all this time, so I've already read Unscripted , and I'm reading TML at the moment. Given this self-development I've been doing, my mindset and ambitions have changed a lot (and they're very different from my peers' to be honest) and over time I've realized that entrepreneurship is something that really calls me and is something I really want to do, and I will do whatever it takes to live off it. But becoming the best version of myself, escaping the rat race and achieving freedom are not the only reason I have to become an entrepreneur, I really want to help my family get out of their own jobs, specially my mother, since she hates her job and it stresses her out to astronomical levels, and I really want to change that. Moreover, I like that by being an entrepreneur, your job basically consists on bringing value to another person's life and making an impact on the world positively.

I don't plan on going to University, even though my parents don't agree, since I believe that thanks to my self-improvement I've proven to myself that I have a good level of discipline and a good mindset for success, and therefore, I will work my a$$-off and make all the necessary sacrifices without the need of university for success.

As for what I'm planning to do right now, I can't start a business at the moment, since I would need an official permission from my parents in order to be able to create a legal business, and quite reasonably, they won't give it to me. But I won't just wait, in Spain the education system works differently, and apart from the difference between the way it's organized, in Catalonia there's a mandatory project everybody has to do. This mandatory project consists on selecting a specific topic and doing a bunch of research and practical work in order to answer a question or hypothesis, or just to complete an aim. Well, since it is a free topic project I've decided to create a business, a Fastlane business. This way I can use school time to do research on the topic and maybe I will even be able to create the product, or at the very least do a simulation of the business. I know it's not the same, but there isn't much I can do about it, and I guess this the best thing I can do to not be a dreampreneur.
Once I finish school, I plan on doing freelancing as a way of making money to pay for my entrepreneurial ventures.

Well, that's about it, I hope it wasn't too boring, Have a nice day! :D

P.D. For this project I have to interview somebody, in this case an entrepreneur, I plan on posting a thread about it but if anyone had an idea already I would be very grateful. I would also be grateful if anyone could tell me the best category where this could be posted, I plan on doing it in the Networking thread, but there may be a better option that I don't know about.

As a 16 year old myself I can relate deeply.

I love how you are taking action right away and not waiting for the "right time".

Do share how it goes! All the Best from your fastlane peer!

Thanks!

I've read your intro too, very inspiring! You have a great mindset, you're not just waiting for the “right time” either.

I wish you the best of luck mate!
