Hey Fastlaners,

It's been almost a year since I joined the forums. In that year my life has completely changed... I'm 20 years old and this has been one of the most thrilling years of my life.
  • I was interviewed by 1 major national media outlet
  • Networth went up 100% (literary 2X'd), 44% increase in last 6 months
  • Went from $15 per hour to 5-figure contracts
  • Worked with several multinational companies/well-known brands; consulting or projects
  • Did hundreds of thousands in additional revenue for the people I work with
  • Began building a brand; since presenting myself as a problem solver with data my close rate has skyrocketed
  • Had my profiles on social media/press releases/other PR seen over 200,000 times
While those achievements are great, the more important thing is that I'm growing. The real important thing is that in the last year I have proved that my skills and projects can really help my customers/clients. I have succeeded not in just making money or running a business, but truly changing my customer's/client's lives. I have succeeded in helping people.

I don't feel successful, or something like that, but I understand if I keep helping people, and I keep pivoting and moving forward I am on the track to live a really great life. I really like my work, and I've learned now that I can amply support myself regardless of employment. It is truly unbelievable.

I want to thank @eekern who helped me truly understand how to add value to businesses and @Fox. While I don't do web design I've learned a lot about how to pitch based on from them. Thanks to @Andy Black for such awesome threads. Thanks for @MJ DeMarco for writing a book that has inspired me so much.

Moving Forward, Year Two:
Retain More Customers (Increase Customer/Client Loyalty)
Increase Minimum Sale/Project Rate
Do Millions of Views of My Brand/Brands; Increase Viral Reach (Press/Social Media/Partnerships)
Close 6 Month Deals
Invest money into money earning assets
Outsource more

Thanks.

I'm 20 years old

Some of you young guys are just light years ahead of most people who are twice your age.

Big congrats on seeing the big picture so young.

20, lol, holy shit.

You could execute on your fastlane for a decade and be younger than I'll be when I wake up tomorrow.

Enjoy your rep. Don't let up. You could literally be retired by the time you're my age.

Literally.

@Fox @RHL Thanks for Rep. Thanks @Andy Black for your nice comment. Thanks @MJ DeMarco for commenting! :) @Chimp Thanks for your comment! Yeah, not getting complacent is hard @conquer. I will keep hustling.

Thanks, everyone! I have been slowing down recently, but I will try to speed back up soon. Hustling all the time get's exhausting. I sometimes just need breaks. Either way, right now I'm looking into hiring more people so that way I don't have to work as hard, but still can make a good money.

Awesome job and great update. It's always a pleasure to read about young people seeing success at an early age.

I'd be interested to know what business you are doing too.

Big congrats on seeing the big picture so young.

The bad news is that the world will go faster with more Fastlaners creating more value. It will go so fast that people who don't understand shit will go rabid against the rich, the economy, the community and the government. It's already happening.

The good news is that we can leverage on value and build more Fastlane channels EASIER and FASTER. And our wealth will shoot up sky-high.

I've been taking a major break from working. I plan to start up again at the beginning of next week.
I will update the thread when I start back up. I'm planning how to start backup so I can scale quicker and close longer running deals.

They may go rabid, but they are hopeless heathens. We will always be ahead of the pack as we are at the top of the pecking order. They may have more in "numbers" but the brains and the power of the minds (collectively) will enable us to be safe.

Closed an exciting deal last night! I said I'd wait till Monday to pitch new clients, I couldn't wait, haha

@Silverhawk851 @Marquin Brewer @GlobalWealth @Arun Siva @Canuker @Fredyisgold @thinkandgrowrich Thanks for your comments everyone! It means a lot to know that the community is watching and enjoying my journey. It's exciting. I'm thinking about offering a coaching program through the Fastlane Market Place on how I've been able to build a brand so quickly and how I close deals so rapidly.

what's the reason ?

the 20 years old guy is lucky enough to be exposed to your philosophy at 20

instead of being brainwashed for 20 years in a slave job before seeing light



i will take the chess analogy

a lot of guys today are becoming chess Grand Masters at 15 thanks to computer and modern teaching. there are over 1200 Grand Masters in the world

but there were only 88 Grand Masters in 1950.

a young 13 years old Grand Master today could have been a world chess championship challenger in 1850.


so this is society evolution, there is nothing to do with intrinsic intelligence with the 20 years old guy

At the same time, these young ones are being re routed by Social Media and Video Games.

Haha man, no offence, but I don't think anyone is giving you money until you start shedding some light on what exactly it is you do.

You said you were interviewed by a major publication? Which one and where is the article/video? What service do your provide to your clients? What multi-national corporations have you worked with? Who are you?

My BS meter is beeping.

@Canuker I can totally understand what you're saying. I guess my BS meter would go off to. Why would you trust this random anonymous person from the internet and apply for his course? I thought about that a lot when I put up the course info. I mean since I don't want to publicly divulge who I am and the companies I work with it really hurts my credibility. I mean really all you have are my words and post history on the forums to draw trust from. Anyone who is applying the course is basically trusting in the good-faith of what I've presented, that is since I don't want to expose my who I am publicly on the forum.
