Hello everyone!
I'm a high school student living in Australia. I first stumbled across this forum a few months ago, and decided to read The Millionaire Fastlane shortly after. Unfortunately, after finishing TMF , I forgot about it for a while, until I heard that Unscripted was finally released. I'm now finished with most of the book, and I decided to finally join the forum.
Here's my story:
For most of my life, my dream was to become a physicist. That was until I read Elon Musk's biography early last year, and discovered this amazing thing known as entrepreneurship. From that moment on, my eyes were set on becoming an entrepreneur. For a while, I was absolutely clueless about business and had no idea where to begin. That was until I read TMF .
After that, my perspective on the world completely shifted. It finally clicked. There was one problem, however. While my thinking completely changed, my actions were a completely different story. I wasted a lot of time on mental masturbation and action faking. I never truly began working towards my goal of financial freedom, and eventually lost sight of my aspirations as they were diluted by school, friends and other distractions. Then, I found out that Unscripted was out, and got the e-book. By that time mid-year exams were approaching, so I didn't have much time to read it, let alone take action on what I read. After my exams ended 2 weeks ago, there wasn't much schoolwork left, so I had time to read and think about what I was doing wrong, and why. I realised that all that was stopping me from being where I want to be boiled down to one thing:
Bullshit.
There have been many times where I've heard people say that I have a bad work ethic. I knew they were right, but never changed because I've always been able to get away with it. School never demanded I work hard, and outside of that, I haven't really done anything which requires consistent effort. Instead of forcing myself to improve my work ethic and take real action, I subconciously improved at something completely different. That thing was lying to myself. I kept making excuses about why stuff doesn't need to get done right now, and why I should wait before I start working towards my goals. When I read about the 3 Bs in Unscripted , I started to become much more aware of this, and saw that something needed to change. This was the moment I chose to join TFLF.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. That's it from me.
