Hello, this is my first post in the Fastlane Forum. I am currently reading The Millionaire Fastlane and wanted to submit an idea for community input.
Thank you first of all to @MJ DeMarco for writing the book and creating the Forum. It's been a great learning experience, and I'm excited for great changes in my life and lifestyle.
I am 31 years old, married, no kids, and have been a practicing criminal lawyer in Brazil for almost 10 years. I currently am a partner at my small law firm, and I am the head of criminal litigation. It's a good living, but nowhere near a Fastlane enterprise. Ever since graduation, I have always been interested in academia, an am finishing a PH.D. degree at my alma mater, where I also teach criminal law and procedure (it's common for successful lawyers to teach at prestigious law schools).
I come from a family of slowlaners, and for the most part I've been on the sidewalk, spending most of my earnings to keep up with the lifestyle of a successful attorney.
Is it possible to make my law firm into a Fastlane business? I believe I am following Need, Entry and Control (at least regrading my area), but lacking in Scale and Time. I am proud of my career, and preferably, I would like to continuing doing what I'm doing, but I am open minded.
I would like to know how to best use the Fastlane Forum. I have a few business ideas I would like to discuss, but don't know if I can simply post a new thread asking for input. Is it common to receive replies?
