    Too Personal?

    I'm sorry to hear that about your upbringing, it's not right to place a kid in certain situations. Regardless, I'm very happy to hear that you've taken a good path and made your life a positive example. I think perhaps this idea is more useful to shine the light in my mind on finding ways to...

    Too Personal?

    That's an awesome idea! The more I ponder some sort of online presence, the better it seems as a form of leverage to help the greatest number of people. Thanks so much for the feedback!

    Too Personal?

    Wow, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. I need to chew on the questions you raised and record some explicit answers. To say I wish someone would've helped is certainly too generic and not helpful. I think as the layers get peeled back I'll be able to pinpoint an area or areas where...

    Too Personal?

    Thank you. It's certainly a sad thing to think about. No, not Boston. This was in California.

    Too Personal?

    Thanks so much! You're right, the world is full of darkness and injustice. Nobody is going to fix that on their own. I think perhaps the therapeutic release of such a project and the prospect of being an example for others to overcome are some of the biggest motivators. Even if nothing comes...

    That scene is hilarious--gotta love Dr. Evil! Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

    Too Personal?

    Hi Bertram, That is an outstanding point! I never considered approaching it from that angle, but certainly makes a great deal of sense. Frankly, where my heart and head are leaning is this: when I hit my stride and find the product or service(s) that allow me to hit the millionaire fastlane...

    Too Personal?

    Strm, I'm very sorry to hear that--it's absolutely heartbreaking. That's great advice, and I think even if I never "do anything" with it, I'll have something that will have perhaps allowed me to reflect and learn from. I'll definitely research the online community aspect. v/r Fish

    Too Personal?

    Mitch, Thanks so much for the kind words. To answer your question, I wish I would have had someone that had situational awareness to pick up on my behavioral cues as a starter, but most importantly, I wish someone would have been able to step in and either stop what was going on or remove me...

    Too Personal?

    Hi Champion, I currently have two sources of income, though one is intermittent. In short, in my day job I am a data scientist for the US Government. By night (at least for the next 5 weeks), I'm an adjunct instructor teaching night school at a local community college. So, I've got the...

    Too Personal?

    This is my first non-intro, non-I've read the books, post. Bottom Line Up Front: My childhood (birth to 18) was an absolute horror. I lived this dichotomy, where I grew up in small town farm country in the midwest, where everybody knew everybody (and their business), yet I, and my family...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    If TMF is an undergraduate education on breaking out of our matrix lifestyle, then Unscripted is like a master's degree in execution of gaining true freedom. Unscripted truly has altered my view on the world, and I inadvertently notice my colleague's slow lane attitude and brainwashing about...

    Will do. Thanks!

    Happy To Be Here!

    INTRO 
    That's awesome that your wife was able to do that! I'm looking to implement similar value propositions either (initially) here locally or online to the masses. I've done the Upwork thing before, and to be frank, I got screwed by some very greedy clients. Nevertheless, like MJ says, I need...

    Happy To Be Here!

    INTRO 
    My apologies for the delayed response--I've been away from social media and forums recently in preparation for a new role I'm transitioning into this month. That being said: First, thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. Second, I think you're absolutely right. 9 months ago, I...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    @MJ DeMarco I just finished the book this morning. The most impactful and realistic book I've ever read--thank you!

    Happy To Be Here!

    INTRO 
    I'm very happy to have found this community. I just finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane and the natural progression from that is to join the community here. I've been seeking a way to the fastlane for a long time. I served 10 years in the USAF and got out about 16 months ago. I've...
