Hello Fastlaners

[hyperreal]

Hello Fastlaners,

After finishing high school I decided to give the Slowlane a try, and it all went quite well for what this lane has to offer. I got a degree in a highly specialized field of engineering and got a high-paying job right away. I got many promotions, to quickly realize that there is a salary ceiling for this type of job, and it is not as high as I imagined. There is also not much development opportunities. For that reason, I moved towards project and people management with better pay and more career development options. While this provides quite good standard of living, there are many issues perfectly described in the three books we are discussing here. Starting with being location dependent, not being able to do what you want and where you want, to finally and most importantly trading away your precious time with no scale effect. Now is the time to switch to the Fastlane, and the best option appears to be developing a business on the side while working 9-5, and go full-time with the business once it grows enough to support my living. While possessing the right mindset described in the books, it is hard to reach the "F*ck this event" in such comfy circumstances.

Is any of you currently in a similar situation or maybe used to be and successfully switched to the Fastlane? I would love to hear your stories.

@MJ DeMarco thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. After reading many books on this topic, I can feel these are really written with the purpose of positively influencing the world, rather just selling copies.
