Dad of 3 kids

[Gutski]

Hi fellas,
I‘m a hard working Swiss dad trying to reorientate. I have a so called good job as head of controlling services but lately realized that I am trapped in the rat race. If I don’t change I will never be rich and never able to persue my passion. I wanna change „lane“ but I am a bit anxious. Having the responsibility for three kids is not easy and expensive. In addition I had a collapse because of overwork.
Well, despite all these hurdles I am very confident to be able to make it. Are you or were you struggling with similar obstacles? I‘m happy to hear from you and open for your advice.
See you around!

Welcome @Gutski

You will find that there are quite a few dads here who are all working on Fastlane ventures.

It has its challenges, but I am sure if we were to survey any person on this forum they would also run into challenges, no matter the stage of life that they are in.

The first question that I would pose to you is:

What made you feel that you were overworked? What pushed you to that point that you fainted as a result?

My challenge to you right now is to figure out HOW you can start finding ways to help others with your current skill set?

Got a 3 week old newborn myself... I had originally hoped it would be twins, so we could be done with reproduction. Now I see how insane that was. Can't imagine having 3. Seems that having the kids outnumber the adults might be a bad idea

Can you lean on family or friends for help? Is your spouse supportive? Could you perhaps hire some part time help to free you up to make more money?
