Hello from Boston! I did everything "right" and trapped myself in the slowlane. BUT...

[Dr. G]

Hello!

I am beyond grateful I stumbled upon the TMF . This book has forever changed my life. I want to take actions but I am not surrounded by friends and family who get it. I hope to change that by joining the forum.

I feel trapped in the slowlane because I did all the "right" things I was told to do. I got the degree in STEM (read crippling $42,000 in loans), currently doing biomedical research. One week ago, prior to reading TMF book, I wanted to pursue a PhD. NOW, I am lost like a dog and could genuinely use some smart advice from people who are serious about the fastlane.

What do you think it's a good first step transition from slowlane to fastlane @MJ DeMarco when you're a recent grad with student loans? Take the job and recruit "freedom fighters" till I can afford to quit?

Cheers!

Take a job in your field/major. Do a fastlane business on the side related to your STEM degree.

You’re in a great city for your field. Use your job to find a need and fund your future business.

There is a very cool company in Boston that is leading the way in remote doctor visits. It was founded by two MD’s. They worked in their field, found a need, and now employ 500+ people.

There is no rush. Be aggressive, but also patient. Success is not an event.
