Good Morning everyone! (very VERY early morning for most of you I imagine 
)
My name is Mark i'm 25 and from the sunny UK, I stumbled across a review of MJ's fantastic book whilst browsing another forum and decided to check it out myself, very glad I did!
I'm sure I don't need to tell any of you about the quality of this book but for me I really couldn't put it down, I found myself reading it on the toilet, at the dinner table, in the car and anywhere else until it was done! have to say it was the first book that I could honestly say shifted my perspectives immediately and I began seeing slowlane / consumer mentality played out all around me, and in my own actions to various degrees.
Even better was that I started looking at successful people / businesses and making sense of their success by seeing how they are applying fastlane principles.
I've browsed around the forums and think there is a fantastic vibe here, a mass of golden information and I like that this place stays on track with strict rules on spamming and politics etc.
My long range plan is ultimately to achieve financial freedom, i'll be honest and say I do not have a workable plan to achieve that at present, that is why i'm here.
One point that really hit home for me in the book was something that I have felt subconsciously for many years which is the madness of me /people trading away most of the week in jobs they hate in exchange for 1 or 2 days of freedom, that seriously bothers me.
Slowlane / sidewalk mentality is all around but has always scared me, long before I read the book, I just knew that I could never be fulfilled "following the herd" as it were.
Every point in the book made sense to me, I have always appreciated success and am lucky that I have never subscribed to the very common mentalities of hating on the successful or believing it's all luck (there is a LOT of envy/ jealousy of the rich in UK culture) when I see a beautiful exotic on the street I always smile and then think how can I go out and do what that person did in order to drive that.
I am identifying what is holding me back so far, the main issues are analysis paralysis and also getting over a few other limiting beliefs I have, the book and this forum though have already given me perspectives on those issues that I haven't found elsewhere.
I usually just browse forums, I hate looking like i'm trying to find the easy road, asking the wrong questions etc but THAT is a limiting view right there as I cannot learn that way, so I plan to actually get involved here and use what I learn to create enough value so that I myself might be able to share some with you guys in future.
Look forward to speaking with you guys.
