Hello everyone,
I recently joined the Fastlane forum after discovering it through The Millionaire Fastlane.
A bit about me: I’m 23 years old, a young guy living in France. I moved here with my family about seven years ago. At the moment, I’m enrolled at university, but deep down I know it’s not really for me, and I feel like continuing just for a diploma might be a waste of precious time. I currently work night shifts at a factory. The pay is decent, I can live comfortably, but I clearly see this phase as nothing more than preparation for something bigger and more meaningful.
Here’s my main issue. Every single day, I think about what I should do next. Recently, I caught myself constantly searching for the perfect business idea—the best, most optimal, most guaranteed one. And I now realize this is a trap. I understand that time is being lost in overthinking, but at the same time, I don’t want to take random action just to tell myself, “At least I’m doing something.”
As Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” I don’t want to start a business where I work all day only to end up earning the same as a regular job. As MJ says in the book, opportunities are everywhere—but I want to truly understand the essence of a niche: how it helps people and how it can realistically make me wealthy.
My biggest weakness is indecisiveness. When I know with absolute certainty what needs to be done, I become unstoppable. But when I’m unsure, my mind jumps endlessly from one idea to another.
I originally wanted to walk my own path and come back here only after achieving success, to inspire other dreamers like me. But why not share these thoughts with you here and now? I’m sure this is a very common and painful problem among young people.
I’d be glad to read your opinions and advice.
