Remember what @MJ DeMarco said about horsepower in the book?
How the decisions you've made up till this point have effected where you are currently at?

Well guess what... He's completely right. You did it to yourself.

The poor me mindset:
  • I have $40,000 in debt, not including my house...help.
  • I have twins on the way and no job... help
  • My car got repopped
These things have one thing in common.Your decision.


You took on credit cards and car loans.
You took your pants off.
You got a car you couldn't afford.

The universe, karma, or god, has a funny way of smacking you with the consequences of your choices.


Get a job. Sell all the stuff you don't need. Hustle Craigslist.
Got a skill? Sell it on Fiverr. Got a skill and a portfolio? Upwork.
You can hustle your way out of this. Don't turn down any opportunity to get yourself out of where you got yourself.

This is the fastlane forum so I'll leave you with this - These problems are slowlane and sidewalk problems.

You want a fast car that costs $100k? Expand your income to be able to afford it.
Want a big house? Expand your income so you don't get evicted.
Want to eat a 20oz steak twice a week? Start running and oh yeah, expand your income.
Want to spend time with your kids? Make money while you play with them.

INCOME SHOULD ALWAYS BE GREATER THAN OUTGO/LIABILITIES.
Passive income is what we aim for.
