Read the book last year. Love the name and cover of the book. It almost forces you to defend it aggressively when you mention it as one of your fav books.
This book connected so many dots in my head that were always just floating around. Questions like, "That successful person's life seems fun but... is that all there is?", in slowlane, i was trying to find something that did not feel like work and something i could get so good at that it was unreasonable to fail (so good they cant ignore you by cal newport is basically about how to make slowlane work for you) but there was always the "then what?".
Fastlane is built on maths, the arguments in the book are literally undeniable. After i figured out the basic rules (like CENTS), all that is left is competency. You start to see how silly it is when people say business is risky, it's like saying playing with a knife is risky, then they proceed to shoot themselves in the foot with slowlane.
Only thing i didnt quite understand was the part when MJ says fastlaners work unlike everyone else so they can live unlike everyone else. Is it related to the number of hours put in? If so, i've seen business owners that worked for only 2hrs everyday and had a successful startup in 2 years. Or am i missing the point and he was just mentioning the type of work that we have to do, like figuring out which company-type to pick, analyzing industries and market demands etc.
