    Escaping the Rat Race: From Burnout to Exploring New Opportunities

    MINDSET 
    Hey everyone, It’s been a tough few weeks, so I wanted to share a quick update. I’ve been feeling completely unwell lately, and it’s been a real challenge. Despite multiple visits to my GP, I still don’t have any answers about what’s going on, which has been frustrating. I’m doing my best to...

    Escaping the Rat Race: From Burnout to Exploring New Opportunities

    MINDSET 
    I’ve read Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan, but I put it down when I reached Part 3. The later chapters focus heavily on scaling through social media and email lists – which isn't relevant to where I am right now. That said, the book reinforced a key takeaway: start small, test fast, and let...

    Escaping the Rat Race: From Burnout to Exploring New Opportunities

    MINDSET 
    I’m set on these, and I’m 100% solid about one of them. It’s about improving the process of finding interpreters – a real issue affecting many deaf people. There’s already one system out there, but it’s riddled with gaps I know I can improve on. I’m not stuck in the idea stage, and I’m...

    Escaping the Rat Race: From Burnout to Exploring New Opportunities

    Thank you so much for your suggestion – it’s definitely a solid idea and something I’ll keep in mind as I move forward. The thought of turning the streamlined website and catalogue process into a reusable template is really appealing, and you’re absolutely right about the demand for better...

    Yikes, that $1,700 vet bill must have been a huge hit – emergencies like that are so stressful. My husband and I recently adopted two puppies, and I was considering getting pet insurance too. But my husband and his brother think it’s not worth it until the dogs are older. Honestly, stories like...

    Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while, soaking up the insights and stories shared here, and I’ve finally decided to start my own progress thread. I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my life, so I thought this would be a good way to document my journey, hold myself accountable, and...

    Hey and welcome back! I just wanted to say that I think it’s great that you shared this. Sometimes, just checking in and being honest with where you're at adds more value than you might think, especially when others might be in a similar boat. I can definitely relate to your struggles with...

    Restarting the Fastlane Journey over at age 33 after quitting my W2.

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you! Yeah, it was not having enough high-ticket sales, and I also ran into issues with a few clients who weren’t communicative enough, which really impacted my work with these projects. I’ve been working mainly with the Deaf community, but it’s tough when there’s a highly skilled Deaf...

    Restarting the Fastlane Journey over at age 33 after quitting my W2.

    EXECUTION 
    Welcome back! I’m in a similar situation – just getting back to this forum after a few years myself. Congrats on quitting your job! I’ve also gotten married recently and bought a shared ownership flat, so it seems we’ve had a few parallels in our lives. My web design business didn’t quite...

    Thank you for sharing it’s really interesting how you’ve gone through ups and down in your business journey. It sounds like you’ve a learned a lot in SEO - how have you been training your SEO skills? What courses have you been using? Have you been using SEMRush or a different tool?

    Hi there :)

    Yes I second this, it would be great to have clothes that last so long and that are not expensive. Also I’ve noticed some expensive brands but they get worn out so easily…

    My weight loss journey. Need advice with weight loss goal.

    HEALTH 
    Well, one could say that you should meet a nutritionist before deciding how often to eat per day – and before making such an extreme calorie deficit per day. Is it a rash decision, or just some scripted dogma for society?

    Hi there :)

    INTRO 
    Welcome! I've reread The Fastlane book again, and I've introduced it to my husband (we got married last month!). He really loves it! We're very like-minded, and he wants to own a successful florist business. He's starting out here in the UK (he moved from Mexico) by applying for jobs and...

    My introduction - A wantrapreneur looking to make the leap.

    INTRO 
    Been working for 3 years on web design, and personally, I haven't found any big success so far – there were some circumstances that prevented me from being actually successful. Plus, a lot of changes happened in my life so I've ended up taking a full-time job for stable income. But I think...
