For those of you that open and read this post, I want to express my appreciation in advance. I say that because I understand you’re probably less concerned with someone’s introduction and more concerned with someone’s ongoing contribution. For taking a leap of faith on this post, thank you for your time.
About Me
By traditional standards, I have a successful life. I’m in my mid-30s and healthy. I have children, though I am divorced. I have a good career making low six-figures, with a 401K and approximately a month of vacation per year. I’ve been in a director position (focused on supply chain) for almost a decade, with a solid career path in front of me. I own a home. My debt is limited to a mortgage and car payment. I have savings and stock investments.
But…
By personal standards, I feel like I can do more – that I should do more. This is a constant feeling I’ve had during my life, and was reminded of while reading The Millionaire Fastlane .
I’m in process of moving from shortage thinking to abundance thinking in my personal life. At work, I push my teams to always make the impossible possible. For some reason, when I leave the doors at work I begin to question my ideas.
With my affinity for process and system design, if I can move from shortage to abundance thinking and find ways to offer value, I believe I can generate scalable solutions.
Fastlane Forum
I’ve read this forum from the shadows for some time. My reservation to register was due to my wondering what I can contribute.
I don’t own a business.
I don’t own real estate.
I haven’t separated my income from time.
My concern was adding value.
While my concern still exists, my desire to go for more has become the stronger emotion. I’ve also realized that although I’m not an authority, I’m constantly making impactful decisions on a daily basis – and I can draw on that background. That’s why I’m introducing myself today.
My Goals
Nope…you won’t see my goals pining on about cars and houses.
While I’ll admit that my documented goal setting needs to severely step up as I embark on this journey, there are two core goals that drive me.
First, I want to introduce freedom into my life. Yes, I would like more control over my schedule. When I come and go, when I’m in or out – these are obvious. More than that, though, is the ability to control my income and my income streams. As an employee, I don’t control my income (based on management) nor my streams (only my W2). The ability to grow one or both as a derivative of my work is massively exciting.
Second, and by far the most important of the two, is to introduce freedom into the life of my kids. My responsibility as a father is to help them be their own best person, but also for them to be better than me. The idea that they can avoid college, control how they derive their income, teach their kids – this is a generational responsibility that I’ve thus far horribly failed at.
Breaking income and time is critically important to me, and an obligation I have to my children.
Closing Comments
I look forward to engaging with this community. I’m excited by the opportunity to add value where I can, and to grow through the posts you make on this forum. I look forward to the day I can post a huge thank you and update on my success.
Now to post on the thread “I’ve Read The Millionaire Fastlane!”
All the best!
