Hello everyone, I've decided to create a progress thread in order to document my journey from the humble beginnings of Fiverr to the Fastlane endgame of five million and more. This thread is simply to document my progress, get feedback on my experiences and the occasional boot in the behind when I'm slacking off.

Who am I?

I'm a 33 year old Belgian office drone living in Paris working on a steady slowlane career in accounting. My job involves looking a screen and pretending to be busy 95% of the time. Since the weight of the pointlessness has been slowly crushing my soul, I've been praying for The Big Idea to come along so that I too would instantly become a multi-millionaire.

That hasn't happened yet for some unknown reason. However, two months ago I read an article on a popular personal development blog which basically came down to: "Stop Thinking and Just Act". I wasn't quite sure if I was ready after only reading every book in existence and wasting my time reading every article on 76 different blogs, but I made an account on Fiverr anyway offering my translation services. And to my astonishment, work immediatly started flooding in. I believe at that exact moment I realised I was wasting my life and the only thing stopping me from realising my dreams and attaining freedom was my own inaction. So the next day I told my boss I quit.

Goals and Aspirations

Like 99% of the people on the Fastlane forum, I have a far away dream of mountains of gold and a giant castle in the sky. Yet I dont' have a Big Idea to monetise and transform into an endless pot of gold, so what can I do?

A great man, whose name I forgot, once said: Ideas are like farts, everyone has them. Little ones, big ones, machine gun ones and giant earth shattering farts that make you afraid to breathe. But if you don't have the skills to catch that fart and turn it in to gold, all you have is smelly wind"

So my first and currently only goal is to acquire those skills and start making farts into gold.

My goal is to make 50.000€ in 2015 as a succesfull freelance translator/copywriter.

I have already quite a bit work of with translations and I'm starting the Gary Halbert 30 day challenge to start to become a great copywriter.

Here we go :)
