Remember that guy in Forrest Gump that followed Forrest as he was running across the country and all of a sudden Forrest stops, turns around and says "I think I'll go home now" and that guy freaks out and shouts "NOW WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO???"
Don't be "Running on Empty" (Jackson Browne) like him
That scene reminds me somewhat of questions of a few new members here on the forum and I thought I would share some of the insights from my own perspective.
I know a few that have found this forum and read the book are chomping at the bit to start on the road to the fastlane. It seems for the most part one of the biggest hurdles is finding that niche, idea, product, or process that will put one on that journey.
There is a desire to create the next Big Thing, but just haven't found or thought of IT yet.

Every question has a NEED
And most of these questions asked are questions that can't really be answered on this forum or for that matter on any forum. This is an important fact to recognize on our road. We've got to be able to answer these basic questions ourself before we can begin to develop a plan to conquer the world.
Work on answers to your personal questions and segregate them from the process of creating and developing an income producing machine.
Now, some other thoughts...
Most consumers look for external gratification and WHAT THEY CAN BUY
Most producers CREATE from internal motivation and WHAT THEY CAN BUILD
One of the primary differences between a Slowlaner and a Fastlaner mentality is that difference between a consumer mentality and a producer mentality.
WE have to develop this difference in thinking.
It isn't taught in school.
It has too be learned.
It has to be exercised.
It has to be implemented.
Once a change of thinking begins, ideas will replace questions we once asked.
So, as mentioned repeatedly in numerous threads, our job as entrepreneurs is to find a way to create VALUE for others, be it a product, service, information, time saver, health, beauty, relationship or income builder, etc.
Remember, most of these questions to create value are external questions looking outside ourselves, rather than internal questions focused on us.
Just some thoughts...
