Hello, Time to Take Action

[Jesse Harris]

I have been lurking on the forum for years, learning, learning, learning, but rarely doing.

Today I decided to join the forum and get involved. I am sure that I can help others along in their journey to the Fastlane, and possibly find a way for myself in the process.

Overcoming fear is a big problem for me. It is hard to quantify but even writing this introduction makes me feel fear. My logical brain obviously knows there is nothing to fear, but try to tell that to subconscious part.

I have read The Millionaire Fastlane a few times and Unscripted once. I have the skills, the knowledge, and wisdom; but I lack a strategy or tactics or belief to escape the Slowlane. I know part of it is limiting beliefs. That is why I plan to help others on this forum on their journey. I can help others AND through that process gain the missing pieces I need to finally move to the real Fastlane, and if I do not get all the pieces at least it was a better use of my time than playing video games and watching mindless youtube videos .

Those are hard questions. I am fairly certain that I need to create something of value for the world, probably a business or something with a strong business component.

As far as knowledge and wisdom, I have read many of the perennial favorites of the business and self-help community. They expanded my mindset and beliefs. So did watching many, many hours of youtube videos on success and building a business. When I reread The Millionaire Fastlane last month, everything made sense but the phrase "common sense is rarely common practice" came to mind. I am making a conscious effort to stop trying to learn some mystical business secret or wait for the next best thing to wander along.

As far as knowledge, I have been a professional software engineer for the last 15 years or so with a degree in Computer Science and as of a few years ago an MBA. I have taught programming at the college level and consider myself to be highly proficient. That said, writing code for writing code sake has lost much of its luster. I much prefer looking at the value provided by technology and how business and technology are interconnected.
