A relationship with my Dad hasn’t been on track since I can remember. He has always supported me, fed me, did everything he could for the entire family. He’s 57 now, and I’m 29. We haven’t talked like a father and son for a long time. I feel a certain discomfort in sharing even the smallest...

Hi everyone, I am Marco Clark Pretelin. Thanks for reading my intro!
I'll try to keep my story concise and pertinent. A few years ago a friend recommended I read TMF, so I did and it helped my confused mind a lot. At the time, I was about a year into recovery from my traumatic brain injury...
Drown Out the Noise, and Focus (First Things First)
Maybe it took me a pandemic. This window of slowing down has crystalized a lot of things, and re-prioritized things. I have often preached to others the value of Steven Covey’s concept of putting First Things First. Prioritizing the things...
Of course it's no excuse, but....
In my "real" environment there is nobody who is interested in self-employment and entrepreneurship.... Also nobody is completely against it. But there is simply no interest... Slowlaners who are happy and satisfied.
Great people and my friends. No problem...

I have been reminded recently; by the passing of a loved one, that family time, is why I and a lot of fastlaners, entered this whole shebang. We want our wealth to be such, whereby we can leverage our time, and be free to spend it how we desire.
