In this progress thread, I want to document my journey from a total newb to someone who knows what he's doing. I have zero Fastlane experience, this is me putting in the work to change lanes for the first time.
Like many who've read MJ's books and discovered this forum, I get the general idea and key guiding concepts. But I have no skin in the game and no practical knowledge of how to build a viable business following the CENTS commandments.
My long term goal and the sense of purpose is to support families and communities where physical and interpersonal skills (and consequently character and mental strength) are valued and cultivated. This resonates with me especially in the context of passing the torch (mentorship programmes, fatherhood etc.).
I have a few ideas I'd like to play with but I don’t know exactly what I’ll build yet. So instead of overanalysing it, I want to keep the ball rolling, learn by doing and smash my sticking points in the process. Alignment with my purpose should happen organically over time.
Finally, I'm hoping to receive feedback and suggestions from you guys. This collective mentoring and exchange of ideas is something that brought me here. If my writing can help someone too, even better.
Right, let’s crack on and close this knowing-doing gap.
