I really need the opinions of fellow fastlaners, I cannot get good advice from anybody around me as 99.99999999999% of the world has the corporate job / slowlane mentaility... ok my current situation is I work at a car dealership 55 hours a week (mandatory) and get paid flat rate (paid per job not per hour).... time is EVERYTHING to me, I cannot express this enough. I understand just as MJ says in his book, that time is the most precious asset any of us have and for me to sit there and waste it while not even being paid for all hours I am at a job is a living hell in my mind. I went to school for auto mechanics when I was younger and not tuned into the fastlane so it is one of the only respectable jobs I can get right now. I absolutely hate it and really want to get on the fastlane and start making a good deal of income from another source such as a monetized website. I am 24 and engaged and really cannot risk having zero income in my current situation of trying to save for a house, wedding, etc. here are a few options I have floating around in my head and I want to know what you guys think is the best one...

1.) Continue to work 55 hour weeks and use the very few hours a week of free time I have to work on a fastlane plan (hard due to lack of free time, but some income)

2.) Completely quit working for somebody else and go 100% into a fastlane venture (very risky as it may fail completely and I have no job to fall back on)

3.) start a small cleaning company to create my own schedule while also working on a fastlane idea (cleaning companies are always needed and a very low start up cost)

just looking for some opinions guys so feel free to let me know what you think thanks everybody :smxF:
