    Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Hello guys, it is me again. I wanted to give an update. So, I continued working at the food factory as an agency worker, a much better work agency. It had a few departments, and we were told during induction that it usually took three months to get a permanent position, but I soon learned that...

    Thanks for the response @Wardy Good catch with the over-intellectualising part. Maybe I should have put it like this: I am focused on quickly building a financial foundation to continue on the Fastlane process in the next months, which explains my current choices. Good catch. And if the...

    Now some general stuff Next 3 months For the next three months, as I continue saving (ideal savings rate of £250/week), my focus is more on my health, not wealth. Outside of living a good life, health is excellent for achieving your goals. I aim to save £1,000 for car insurance I aim to save...

    With that preamble out of the way, @MJ DeMarco I am still keeping your input in mind but I am delaying it as it turns out that it is not the most important block. A bit like when I was straight unemployed and wanting to pursue business, and realised that an essential step was getting any sort...

    It has been a while. I had to take a step back, I had set myself way too many tasks by the time I was finishing my previous comment here. Let the following comments be a sort of... benchmark. Of my general plan, and any ideas that I think are very much worth mentioning. The following comments...

    TL;DR: Initial brainstorm table with column for Specialised Labour and column for comments can be found at the bottom of this post. Great ideas that you have vetted from AI @MJ DeMarco. My hours were cut today, so guess what I get to do today? That's right, brainstorm right here right now (I...

    BRAINSTORM - Generic Types of Specialised Labour - Accountancy <= Takes multiple years and multiple exams to qualify. But you do work your way up from being a bookkeeper, and I know a recruitment firm in my city where I could qualify and get a place in this city - Actuary <= Same comment as for...

    Hey MJ, first of all it is great (and pleasantly surprising) to see your response. I also noted a similar thing. For example, I was advised to look into teaching or accountancy... but even though these careers count as types of Specialised Labour, I saw that I'd need to spend years just to get...

    Hey guys, I currently work in a Foundation Job. In fact, you can check out my journey on THIS thread here from back in October last year: SIDE HUSTLE - EXECUTION - Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job. The community really helped me achieve my goal, so I naturally came back here. TL;DR...

    General update It has been 3 or 4 weeks since I started that job, I think? I did not plan to come on here but due to something getting cancelled I ended up coming here. Where am I? To not go so deep into it, I have been separating my income using a financial plan I wrote up. It is very...

    Thanks for the comment Dan! In the time that passed I also got pointed in the direction of quotes for insurance. It is very useful that you are from the UK as well in this specific instance for obvious reasons. I am pretty committed to getting a car, but only after I get that contract so that...

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    A good question that I've been grappling with. You can help me with my reasoning, actually. Strictly speaking, a car is a liability. Since it needs tax, insurance, fuel, and general upkeep. Tax+Insurance would be £4,000/year, and fuel not so much based on how close my work is. With that out...

    Okay here was the outcome of all this ACT, ASSESS, ADJUST stuff. I have a job at a local food factory I work 12 hour shifts, 4 days on 4 days off There is a clear path to contract work (usually around 3 months). Right now it is agency work but I am getting regular hours and there is available...

    Haha, it is cool to know that we both did the same thing. Thankfully I did end up getting a Foundation Job, induction is Thursday. Your case is very, very interesting. I will soon start looking to Specialised Labour, and that sounds like a great next step that I could consider taking. You...

    Sound advice, no question. I will keep this up my sleeve should I find myself in that position of needing work again. This is the type of energy that I need as a Fastlane business man. Where I live this type of aggressiveness (if that's even the right word) is very out of the norm since people...

    Thanks @anca_avram, at the moment I have less of a scarcity mindset since I have that work induction to go to. If the work that I go to ends up not being ongoing for whatever reason, I will definitely implement this piece of advice.

    Thanks, I'll download this. In fact! This and the video from @ZCP will be great resources for when I am working. To give me little ideas that I can test out when I jump to the Specialised Labour step

    ACT Okay, day 2. I delivered one application IRL to a coffee shop (well-known brand here in the UK) nearby. I was mainly busy with going to a different work agency (let's call it work agency 2) who I worked with before, and some unrelated banking stuff. ASSESS The coffee shop manager was...
