    MINDSET 
    Hey Fastlaners, I want to share the exact moment with you that I believe turned my life around. This was my FTE. I finally had enough of the ‘struggle’. The weather was very cold, windy and rainy. I was riding my scooter to the office at 6 in the morning. It was still dark. Besides being...

    What if you've never had your FTE?

    MINDSET FTE 
    Is it still possible for someone who has never experienced their FTE (only FTMs or "F*ck This Moments") to still have the drive and willpower to succeed in pursuing Fastlane? What do you think are ways to induce this for those who have not had their FTE? Is there a way to purposefully make it...
