My FastLane journey started in 2021 when I read “The Millionaire FastLane ”. It changed my entire mindset around how I value money, time, and my youth. I realized I needed to quit my dead-end job and start a business.

Well… I got made redundant in 2023 anyway, and I thought I’d give the business thing a try. To be honest, it didn’t go too well. I didn’t focus on making sales and concentrated on learning more tech stuff.

After I depleted my savings, I got a job working as a mailman. To be honest, it’s the best job I’ve ever had. The pay is awful, but I enjoy it a lot. I strode freely, distributing letters with an unbridled sense of liberation.

Back in April, I decided to start the business again. I asked my job to put me on part-time hours.

I picked up the phone and started selling websites. I never anticipated making a sale to anyone in my lifetime. I had always been an introvert. The fact that I actually made a sale was quite impressive.

That’s when I realized anyone can sell. It’s not easy, but it is possible.

I’m at the point where I want clients to come to me, so I’ve been doing a lot of reading on SEO and digital marketing. In order to gain practice, I offer my digital marketing services for free. The idea is that I can use these people as case studies to demonstrate how good I am.

I now devote 90% of my time to SEO. The downside is that sales have dried up. I have to constantly cold call or DM to get clients. Because I have a part-time job delivering mail, I don’t feel the pressure to make more sales yet. I am gambling hard that my SEO strategy pays off and that clients will come to me.

If the gamble doesn’t pay off, I’ll be screwed and have to go back to working full-time.

I’d like to give a shoutout to my family. It’s only because of them that I can afford to put all this time into my business.
