Hi fastlaners, I have come to finally post a thread of my own for the first time after reading Millionaire Fastlane and The Great Rat Race Escape , now re-reading Millionaire Fastlane for the strong messages and reminder of the things that got the wheels turning on financial freedom and wealth.
I joined this forum a few months back after finishing Millionare Fastlane, not giving it much or any attention, as things in life were going quite smoothly as I began to dive into business minded and entrepreneur type books. Now as I finally finished up reading The Great Rat Race Escape and re-reading Millionaire Fastlane, a sense of urgency to step off the sidewalk and start my journey onto the fastlane has properly begun, thus my first post today and becoming more active on the forum.
Stepping into this world of business and entrepreneurship has been challenging, finding myself unable to chat with many of the people in my life as they may or may not have had this change in direction and cannot relate to how I feel, which is understandable, as it took me until the age of 24 to realise that being stuck in the rat race is not for me.
I am looking for some guidance on where to look or where to start on my journey as an entrepreneur. I came here with chances of finding some help from others who have escaped or are in the process of escaping the rat race, I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate some guidance.
Do I look for a mentor, or do I brainstorm some potential business ideas on my own before looking to someone to guide me along the way?
What would be a good foot in the door to leave behind my current job? (Have looked into food delivery driving and exterior/interior cleaning, currently studying a cert 3/4 in fitness)
Any other helpful advice from you guys I would love to hear, Thank you
