Over Christmas break I asked for and received a copy of The Millionaire Fastlane . You could say that it was my way of confessing to my parents (both Slowlaners) that I wanted to be more than a college student studying engineering in order to make someone else rich. After 3 days, I had finished the book, and I can honestly say that it has changed my life.
During my high school years, I was a smart kid on a path to nowhere. Although I received great grades (One of the top GPAs at my school), was a great athlete, and very funny, I always was held back by what I didn't have. At the time, I believed I could never be social, have a muscular physique, build businesses, and you name it. I believed these to be permanent disadvantages that kept me from becoming a true asset to society. Needless to say, I lacked a lot of confidence.
About a year ago, everything changed when I discovered a blog called boldanddetermined.com. After reading some of the author's posts, I started to realize that all of these "disadvantages" were areas in my life that just needed conscious effort to fix. I decided to tell myself that all of these ways I put myself down were just methods to justify my lack of effort to change them. Almost immediately after this realization, I began to change. I went from working out 2 times per week and getting no results to working out with a definite purpose 6 times per week at 5AM. About 5 months later when I came back from college, I had transformed myself from a 140lb 6'2" weakling to a 175lb heavy lifter. People could not believe how much different I looked and acted.
Fast forward. At college, I realized that I had a lot of free time. At first, I had no idea what to do with it. Previously, I believed that being a mechanical engineering major would suck all of my time into thin air. A few weeks later, I began to read about famous entrepreneurs such as Mark Zuckerberg that started extremely successful businesses during their college years. Soon after I discovered the book The Millionaire Fastlane.
The Millionaire Fastlane got me addicted to the concept of owning my own business. When I arrived back at college this January, I viewed things very differently. I realized that most people around me at college were on the path to a slowlane for the rest of their lives. In no way did I want to be one of these Slowlaners. At that point, I told myself if I didn't became an entrepreneurial success, I was a failure in life. This led me to the Fastlane Forums. I want to learn from you, and I hope that you guys will have something to learn from my experiences as well. Glad to be a part of the community now!
