27M Mechanical Engineer - Journey
QUESTION STORYThis is very surprising to me! Mechanical engineers where I've worked were usually drafting designs in CAD, printing and testing them for rating, spec, etc... That was when I worked for an engineering company producing photoelectric sensors and rotary encoders. I thought they had the coolest...- Lexauton

Restarting the Fastlane Journey over at age 33 after quitting my W2.
EXECUTIONI have some passive income, yes - about 2.1k per year from my old drawing course business, and $600 per year I reinvest from my dividend income investing strategies. But no, I'm not very near to quitting my job anytime soon. I backslid and do about 90K per year as a MarTech Admin (with duties...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONOkay, small updates. I’ve abstracted a few tools from my day job as a MarTech Engineer. Stripped out the credentials, stripped out the org data, and now I’m testing them for launch to actual audiences. These are scale tools. Tools for people who would rather swallow glass than spend half...- Lexauton

EXECUTION2025 didn’t make me rich. It made me honest. Business-wise, nothing miraculous has happened. Life-wise, everything did. My son came home from the hospital after a heart transplant, and he’s doing well. Praise God for that. Truly. That is the headline above every other headline. It puts a...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONHeya Saph! Wow...Where to begin with this update. This one is more for all y'all. There are things in life we never expect, or rather, even want to imagine. It’s been a full year since I restarted this thread at 33. A lot has changed—personally, professionally, and philosophically. Last...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONThank you for asking for clarification - I have used all of these skills in some way or another to help businesses. I've turned eMaxion into my Data Analysis/Engineering arm of the business - I'm specifically targeting e-comm right now. Basically I had a HUGE and broad offering of services...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONThank you! I'm fired up to create some habits and systems to reach my 10-year "plantasy". And that's concerning regarding the sites. They both work for me in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari - but I'll do some testing with web-apps to see if there are errors therein. eMaxion is somewhat...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONThanks! It's scary, but the thought of driving 35-45 minutes one way and sitting in an office all day for 30+ more years is scarier. You're correct though. For now I'm early enough in this journey that I haven't been able to focus in on one thing or the proper skill-stack for it. I'm trying to...- Lexauton

EXECUTIONHey Y'all. It's been a while. I put in my two week's notice last week. I work as a marketing manager in a 70-year old industrial manufacturing automation company. Since my last posts on the forum (somewhere around 2017) I've: - Gotten married - Bought a cheap ($235k) house - Quit freelancing...- Lexauton

Struggling with choosing my ONE thing - Could use some external perspectives.
MINDSETWow, first, I'm floored by not only the variety and value of the replies that everyone's posting, but also the "grounding" nature of these posts. This deluge of replies may get a little lengthy, but here we go: Boredom is definitely one factor for sniffing out untapped opportunities. Human...- Lexauton

MINDSETVideo games and Anime are why I started making art. That's a fantastic idea though. Taking the interests of successful game creators and forming a content creation strategy around that. It's much smarter to leverage their following than to spend eons building my own with little or no success...- Lexauton

Struggling with choosing my ONE thing - Could use some external perspectives.
MINDSETSimply and aptly stated. It would take some serious brainstorming to turn a love of plants and animals Fastlane without exploiting either of those beautiful things. I'll continue to collect more "Fastlane" ideas in my journals just in case my more ideal ventures fail spectacularly. Sometimes...- Lexauton

MINDSETHaving a love for multiple creative fields is a struggle in and of itself! I'm glad I'm not the only one who faces this issue.
