Ok, I know MJ is a against crypto and trading, reason being there's it violates some CENTS aspects. But I have found my edge. Yeah. At least I think so. But, don't get me wrong, I am still all in and focused on my SaaS, probably taking time because I want full control of it, I don't want to outsource the development, not like I had a choice, I had no money at all to execute this idea, so I thought to myself let me use the three valuable currencies the Universe blessed us with, TIME, ENERGY & ATTENTION, and I have made so much progress in learning all by myself, and I am close to end of my Backend learning. Eagerly anticipating the development of my venture all by myself and the team I will find along the way. And the books really gave me great and valuable insights and wisdom. But I found it hard to focus more on my chosen venture/plan to be a glitch in the Rat Race and escape. It was hard, struggling to afford basic toiletry, I had to eat what my uncle, brother, and mom were able to afford, I felt out of control, but I persisted and continued learning, watching mom sell (you know African mom's and selling to make ends meet), and working piece jobs (laundry/cleaning) for my lovely well-off neighbors, whom sometimes offer mom basic food stuff like sugar, coffee, 10kg rice, and my mother takes care of their son when they are busy, who is like a brother to me now haha. Silly guy. You see where my frustration comes from now? It was getting on to my nerves to live like a beggar, feeling so powerless.
Decided to look for a skill I can cultivate and nourish that will at least maintain me, while focusing on my plan to escape the Rat Race, which I will eventually escape no matter what. Took a leap into trading, currencies and crypto. Man, was it not the best decision I took? The persistent learning, failing and trying over and over finally paid off. I got the insights of never giving up from the books of course, thanks MJ, built a warrior who surmounts obstacles and persist.
I have been killing for the market the past 14 months, and my mom is so proud me. MJ advised that we need a WHY to propel us in the journey of Fastlane. I think for me, MY MOM is the BIGGEST WHY for me, followed by freedom. Installed a geyser for mom, we no longer bath in a small metal tub and a bucket (Africans and South Asians will relate). New tiles at home, couches and new paint. Man, so proud of myself soooooo muchhhhh. This may be so small considering what I want to do for this woman. And most of all, for myself.
Now I can fully focus on my plan. But let us not beat around the bush, it's hard to focus on an empty stomach. Truth be told. Glad I realized this early, stalled my Fastlane plan and took steps to
Let me share some of the trades that made tears fall on my eyes, both of joy and the realization that my mom will stop street vending:

I have killed many many many trades. Just a glimpse. And I spent 0 RANDS/DOLLARS on courses. Just my will. And thanks to the baker in my neighborhood for giving me the piece jobs, I used the income to fund my trading accounts. Even though at first I was straight up donating to the market, I bounced back and backfired. He is more than appreciated (baker owner) because I even thought of illegal alternatives to get income. Poverty is the DEVIL'S POWERFUL WEAPON.
Thanks MJ for the mentality even though you warned against trading, I persisted, found my edge, made myself and my lovely mom happy. Now focusing on my Fastlane plan after I had a major draw down, and MJs words haunted me again.✌
