Hello Fastlaners,
maybe it's the winter weather or my life just sucks I don't really know, but my mood went just down in the last weeks.
I understand the concepts discussed in the book in theory very well and even build my own models to analyze other businesses, KPIs and so on ... However the real problem for me right now is that I don't move forward and I feel stuck.
While I have taken action and created value for others I have seen very little return for myself so far. I worked for one of the largest Tech companies in Sales and did some good numbers - they even sent me monthly bonuses and I was ranked top 3 but to be honest that makes it even more bitter if you compare the value you created to the actual return. Right now I'm running ad campaigns for clients and some of them are quite happy and doing some decent numbers. However once again my upside is capped and comes down to peanuts compared to what the owners make.
Don't get me wrong life could be far worse as 90% of people in my country would probably change with me in an instant but still I'm far away from fastlane. So my question is how to deal with the frustration of working for others while accumulating capital, skills and knowledge to start my own products? I feel like working all the time for others making them rich while I have very little to show for myself. I've seen MJ's latest video and my goal is to have 100k in the bank before building my fastlane business. This would take another year at least and I'm feeling like losing out on so much.
Another problem is that I just don't have any trust in other people anymore. I have closed a 11k Deal which would be pure profits (it's selling time for money essentially) however I don't even want to celebrate it before the cash is in the bank. Is this reasonable?
What would you do in my situation? I really need a reality check right now.
