Hey fast-laners, first time poster here.
I'm an idea type, I have several business ideas each month, some I research and dismiss and others I can't stop thinking about. I was writing business plans before I knew what a business plan was. This is how my thought process has always worked, long before I wanted to make myself wealthy.
My friends and family are typically slow-laners. Parents are engineer and doctor, followed a single path their whole lives. Most friends plugging away 50hrs for 50K. I listen to them bitch and moan, I celebrate their fridays, but when I open my mouth about ideas or opportunities, they recoil and become withdrawn. I have tailored my approach to talking about my dreams and ideas with others, as to not make them think I have illusions of grandeur. Same result. If I talk about applying for a job like theirs, Wow what a conversation we can have!
I am curious if anyone else feels like their dreams and ideas make others uncomfortable about their own complacency in life. I no longer talk to my friends and family about my ideas or what I'm working on. We get along much better if I feign mediocre expectations. This is what brings me to this forum, and to reading MJ's book.
