@RogueInnovation inspired some serious thought processes for me. The success of "The Fastlane Formula", despite its name, is not predicated or determined by time and time alone. Yes - it does accelerate your path to separating your earnings from time, but taking months or years to obtain that freedom is still "Fastlane".
I need to slow down. I need to stop thinking so hard about the end goal of freedom. Yeah, yeah, technically I am free because I'm not tied to a job and my earnings aren't necessarily determined by my time. It's just hustling though, which doesn't meet the CENTS criteria.
This thread, this journey that I'm currently on, this is about building a business and a brand, not just making money. It's about finding a needs, refining, finding deeper troubles, refining further, and finally getting to the absolute root of the problems that these companies may not even recognize.
Sorry kids, I'm slowing the eff down. Focus is the real key, and I refuse to rush through this. Yes, I want my company to get moving, and I want to be profitable as quickly as possible. I can not rush to push a product out the door that may be subpar, easily replicated, and not properly researched.
If I take the time to build this properly, I will be able to grow this company beyond just profitability. I don't only want to be profitable. I want more than that. I want to build something with staying power and the ability to scale beyond my own wildest dreams. I want my exit to be in a few years at not a 7 or 8 figure valuation, but 10 or 11 figures. Massive wealth is not built in a day - it takes time. Hastily throwing something out there and calling it a business may create an income, it may make you money, but it's still an action fake. That's not a business, that's not success, it's nothing more than a sperm bank - getting paid to mentally masturbate.
Slow and steady wins the race. Gunning it when the light turns green could end well, but it certainly can end with your car wrapped around a tree. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but it's the truth.
Thanks for keeping up with me, guys. I've learned more about myself and my path from all of you than I ever could have learned from my own experiences.
