Hello everyone, my name is Suraj and I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I am currently reading MJ De Marco's Fastlane Millionaire, and being a cynic when it comes to self help books and all, I find this book to be truly mind blowing. He actually gives you real advice with no fluff nonsense. This book is as concrete as a fastlane ought to be. I am never a big fan of forum, but I got so impressed I decided to join in.
I am currently working in my family-owned wholesale textile company. My dad is the owner of this company and I am working under his wing. fastlane? I don't know. Reading this book, I have come to a dilemma, I am inspired on blazing my own trail, but I am too afraid to let go of the easy way and continuing this business after my father retires.
I do not enjoy this line of work and my dad does not seem to take me very seriously. Perhaps because I do not take this work seriously either. I guess subconsciously I am thinking "oh it is my own family's company, why should I care?" I guess I would never be able to care. This looks like a spoiled brat's way to being a millionaire. And I do not want this.
I want to make it on my own and blaze my own trails, but I am too scared or too intimidated to confront my dad on this, and also because I do not know what to do. On top of that I am currently using up all my salary on paying the installments for the 2 studio apartments I have invested in. So my income goes to my apartments which are currently being build, and to supporting my wife and daughter.
I am sure some of you reading this might be confused, I am sorry for such a lengthy introduction, but this happens to be an introduction and also a plea for guidance. I need to do something, I have this feeling that I need to do something before it is too late. I need to know where to start. I am too afraid to quit this safety net that happens to be my family owned company.
