Most of us here get high, happy, and driven after reading TMF (Of course, I am). But soon after you lay out your fastlane plans, your comfort-loving brain kicks in with its numerous, amazing and crafty excuses to keep you back from starting the journey to the Fastlane (the process).


So I created this thread with the intention of making it an 'Excuse' library (you can call it Excuse Wiki or Excusipedia) of sorts to share all the funny, irrational excuses, myths, lies and beliefs that come around you (from family, friends, and media) and those that emanate from within you that attempt to sabotage your rise to the Fastlane challenge.


Feel free to post those excuses/myths/lies/beliefs your mind conjured up ( or still conjures up )for you as you decided to change your life.


As for me, I had a lot of them. See a few examples:
  • Boy! @MJ DeMarco lives in America where it works. Nigeria is a bad economy so it won't work here.
  • Stop getting so excited at nothing. You will fail and your friends will laugh at you.
  • You think you can fit a side business into your daily schedule? Get real!
Anyone who searches the forum and reads this will realize their situation is not sooo special, after all.


Please share yours to encourage others (especially newbies like me) and possibly get a laugh.
