Good evening all,
I have consumed so much material on the subjects of success, business, entrepreneurship, and mindset over the past 8ish years that its sickening to think I have done almost nothing productive with it. I have used some of it to become a better overall human and leader in my slowlane j-o-b. But I have always had that entrepreneurial bug that continues to buzz around my head.
I read The Millionaire Fastlane about 4 years ago and it truly changed the way I look at the world. I resonated with Unscripted in a big way. These books solidified thoughts that I have had in my head for most of my adulthood (I am 33 years old at the time of this intro). When I would speak these thoughts they would typically get shot down by friends and family. I kept on coming back to the books and this forum on and off. However I have done nothing but action fake countless times. Shiny object syndrome has touched me with its greasy hand more times than one.
Ithink know the cause of my failure to execute is comfort. I have a decent job that I actually do enjoy. It pays the bills and I live a good lifestyle. It is fulfilling in SOME ways, but freedom is my true desire. Even before TMF , the amount of TIME that I (and my wife) will lose to our slave jobs over a lifetime has always sickened me. Shoot, I work 4 days a week and I still lose almost 27 full days per year to my COMMUTE. I KNOW this isn't the way and I am prepared to actually take some action.
I write this not for the community's sympathy or encouragement, but more as an accountability measure to myself. It honestly feels good to write this out, since it mostly goes unspoken and lives only in my head.
Anyways, I am a 33 year old slow-laner who has the desire for more in life. Nice to meet you all. I cannot un-see the words in MJ's books. I know the lives we want are out there for the taking and I plan to get out of my comfort zone and chase it. Happy to be here, and thank you all for the value throughout this forum. I've been digging in.
