On a recommendation I got Millionaire's Fastlane and was blown away, read it in one sitting. I had been doing a lot of recent introspection to work through some stuff (read super low/depressed/fatalistic, parked on the Sidewalk, you name it) but had come to a point where I was kind of done with all my bullshit. Fastlane really clarified a lot of things and fast - the right book at the right time?
I'm 56, divorced with three sons (fully legal/physical) and have been through a brutal divorce /custody battle (9 years and counting), which cost a lot of money, and psychic energy/emotion. I am an artist, a painter and printmaker, and am employed as a Director of Marketing at a digital marketing/design firm. Which. Is. A. Job. Of. Course.
I've made art all my life but in the Slowlane (the usual lack of encouragement from family, "get a real" job blah blah blah). In my twenties I was in a band (guitar/post-hardcore - we toured, hung out with people who would go on to become famous, released records, it was a blast!) but, again, nothing, other than the intrinsic value, came of it.
I still owe my lawyer a ton of money and, having been laid off during the pandemic, was busy licking my (numerous) wounds, singing woe is me. I had this doomed mindset of always being in debt, never etc etc etc, I don't need to go into the details.
At any rate, Fastlane was a corrective. And, despite the fact I won't be rich in my twenties, now's the time to get going. If not now, when, right? Planning on hitting significant funds (I'm not even close as of yet) in two years so I can quit the job, get my kids in and through college (not to get a job! I am forcing them to read Fastlane!!!) and live the life I was meant to live.
Thanks, @MJ DeMarco , like I said, the right book at the right time.
