Hi, im a 20 year old average "just a guy" living in finland, i believe to be lucky to live in an environment that wont absolutely shred me apart if i fail my first few attempts at enterpreneurship, nonetheless i still feel like life could have something more to it than just that middleclass paycheck to paycheck slavery.
After reading the books uscripted and fastlane during the past 2 years, i gave serious thought to wanting to "one day" take a try at the fastlane and it always was that, just someday oneday when i have time and money.
But around 2 weeks ago, i changed that mindset completely, i was at the gym and again had an amazing idea for a web business and again just put it in the bin of oneday, thankfully it appeared the right day, because as soon as i returned from the gym i got a call from mom, a 45 minute rant on how i need to get a better job to fill my free time after school (i took a second education to be a truck driver after my gratuation, when i realized chef school was a stupid decision made by a stupid kid after middleschool) mom ranted how i have too much free time and i should learn to spend my free hours working because thats what life is, and proceeded to give great examples of good working people obeying the 9 to five morgage slavery, and how worrying selfish teenagers who work for themselves instead of the system are. Telling me word by word everything mjs books told to avoid.
45 minutes of slop being forcefed to me, that had already been cleared from my system once. I saw my life flashing before my eyes, the safe and good future she was setting up for me, the slavery and never having a nicer car than a 10 year old volvo, never retiring since that fund was spent on the last generation, literally working to death, pinching pennies with near expiring date foods and used clothes. After that ordeal that felt like hours, gave me a burning anger i couldnt get out by just punching something due to poor selection of walls. Instead i took that hateful energy and converted it to willingness to get up adn do something.
I took that idea i had at the gym from the someday bin and decided "mom is right i have so much free time i could be spending on work, literally mroe time ill ever have in my future. Someday is NOW, opening my pc and looking up tutorials and courses on coding and programming.
So far in these past 2 weeks ive wrapped a basic grasp on html and css (obviously going to need to pick up more than that), and have a solid plan on my site and app on creation, functions, value multipliers, and if it gets out there and gains attraction, how to extract the profits from it. I learn new things everyday and put more hours of my free time on learning than anything.
To be honest, typing this right now i admi, is a procrastination on my studies, i just came home from my parents house from a chat with mom, it was casual but still dream draining, so i got guilty of purposefully finding reasons not to progress.
This is the beginning of my journey on the fastlane, and ill probably feel like i want to keep updating here. Sorry to mother you with my life story, wish me luck.
