Hello Fellow ( to-be) Fastlaners.
I'm Leon, 34, Dutch, wife + 6yr old Kid and driving the slow lane currently.
Reached a 120k net income yearly ( seriously ?) for 17 years of corrupt life trading.
Waking up....
I woke up 5 years ago while walking the freakin sidewalk in fancy Burberry clothes. Proud I calculated the price of all the clothes on my Body, Wow I wear today 4.600 Euro worth clothing, shoes, watch etc. how cool am I, I said to myself!
And then I realized my monthly salary was back then 3.000 net, and I just paid 1,5 month of my life for that ( I love how MJ describes this in his book )
Anyways I'm super grateful that I woke up and the last 2 months something have changed in me to turn desperation into action.
However...
My Job is a huge energy drainer for me ( Financial Director ) even if I have learned a lot, the people around me do not understand it, they are un-aware of the reality and believe the lies, they are Naysayers all the time! My circle of influence sucks too. ( improved with this forum)
Fastlane...
I work on Fastlane from 5:30 am to 7:30 am and 2 hours in the evening next to my " family tasks" as husband and father. I also use some idle time on the job, 2 -3 hours per week and off course weekends.
Now here comes my Plan...
Quit the job and focus fully on building my fastlane. I have no passive income but I figured that I can live with my family for + 6 years still pretty decent from our savings. This will give me 40 - 50 HOURS! per freakin week additional time to built the fastlane. a +200% increase of speed!
Questions to fellow fastlaners who " dropped out " of the job:
- When was the appropriate moment for you to quit job?
- What you've learned from doing that?
- What would you do different if you could re-do that decision?
bonus question:
- How did you convince your wife? ;-)
Looking forward to some interesting experiences.
Thanks!
Leon
