    Do you question anything else other than the slowlane?

    SLOWLANE OFF-TOPIC 
    I don´t question everything, in my opinion that is just impossible, mainly because you will always have your own perception driven by many factors that you are not even aware are shaping that perception. However, what I try to do is looking at things from different perspectives and then shape...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I loved this book, I love the framework and that, despite having been written years ago, it is completely applicable. I also learned a lot of lessons in the book the hard way with my first venture, great read. I particularly like the political incorrectness and the general tone of the book.

    Investment Banker or Entrepreneur?

    EXECUTION 
    I will start with a disclaimer, my opinion is a little biased as I wouldn't recommend investment banking even to my worst enemy. If those are your drivers to become an Ibanker I would say don´t do it. There are far better ways to build those connections, as a junior banker, don´t expect a lot...

    Pity for Society

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't know if you guys have heard about who has been called by the media "the skateboarding hero" but he has been in the news of my country (Spain) all over this week and got me thinking a lot. When he say the first attacker with the knife attacking a woman he went to fight him with his...

    How did you overcome your slowlane friends and family?

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Another thing, I would try to change my mindset about the CPA. Either don't do it at all or, if you decide to do it, try to make the best out of it. Don't think of it as a qualification that your parents force on you but as something you can learn and use for your business. After all your...

    How did you overcome your slowlane friends and family?

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I have lived a very similar situation than yours very closely through my husband, his parents had his lifeplan prepared for him and he could not even think of deviating from their script or they used emotional blackmail against him: with that they made him study what they chose and at the school...

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    I've actually had 2 in my life. I always wanted to be a lawyer, the law was my passion, and I dreamt with having my own law firm. I started my career as a lawyer working for a big law firm to get experience and learn and I actually liked the law itself but the lifestyle.... 100 hour work weeks...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I have just finished Part 3 and I am loving it. I am liking even more than TMF! I do love the style, the powerful metaphors and especially the political incorrectness, it is so refreshing, no sugarcoating just spitting the hard truth! I realized that I have always been unscripted in many...

    Mindset to have about dating while building a business ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hey Claude, I see this dilemma from a different perspective. First of all, I wouldn't date just to have a partner in my journey or not date at all because it is a distraction. If wouldn't date just to not feel lonely, at the end you can find support in many other ways and if you just wanna have...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for your kind words! Actually the main reason I am staying is for the money, because I think is a strategic move given my circumstances. However, as I mention, there are other factors more difficult to value and that is what it make it a dilemma. I am learning useful things at the job...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    That is why I haven't quit already, and I know how to tough it up, I had done that many years in other jobs as well. The thing it is not just a job I dont like, it feels more like a prison because it drains not only my time but also my energy. I agree doing that would be a questionable move...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Interesting reflection and perspective, actually that is the reason why I am leaning towards staying. I am approaching this as if it was an options valuation: is the value of time (waiting) worth the cost? Only looking at money it is, but there are other factors to consider that are difficult...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Many thanks for your advice. My condition was 18 months but I am almost a year in, so there are 7 months left. My job is +12 hours per day and my venture is in another country, I am working in my venture as much as I can but with distance and time constrains I don't see a viable way. Many thanks...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Many thanks for your kind words! I don't like that type of safety net either, I had a similar situation when I left my job for the MBA and declined the offer as I knew, no matter what, I didon't not want to go back at that job. But the economical safety net is different though, also, I don't see...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Totally agree. I know many cases. Although it is not the case for me. When I am passionate about something I have drive and nothing can stop me. Im my case, I like the safety net, as with the basics covered I can be focus on what really matters and even take more risks.

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    MINDSET 
    Many thanks for sharing. I have been going around to that, if I would share with them my reason for leaving there would be a chance they wouldn't make me pay the bonus. I guess that if I told them that I am leaving to am competitor they will certainly demand it, but in this case it would be...

    Shall I buy my freedom or delay my dream?

    I wish I could but my job in very demanding in terms of scheduling, plus my venture wI'll be in my country and difficult to start with the time difference and distance. I am advancing all the work I can while working but I dont see a way to launch while at this job yet, but I am trying to figure...

    Finally found a mountain to start my fastlane journey, Stocks

    EXECUTION 
    Let me ask you something, that 25%, is it coming from beta or from alpha? What criteria you choose for selecting investments? It is very easy to make money in a bull market. But wait until the next pull back, you will see how much fun that is! In my opinion the approach you are following is no...

You have your path very clear since very young and that is great, the best way in my opinion would be to start taking small steps into...
