Hello Fastlane Forum,
I was a long-time lurker and am becoming increasingly convinced in the philosophy you guys here preach.
It's a great place here that @MJ DeMarco built, and I feel especially privileged to have stumbled upon this community of people, who are all working on earning their sweet, sweet financial freedom.
Some of them have already made it to the destination I hope to arrive at someday, and I’m eager to learn from their wisdom and wit.
When I read most of the gold threads, things finally clicked for me. And all the doubts I had about the concepts laid out here were quickly removed.
Having seen some of his posts, MJ seems like a cool guy that has been there and done that. But sadly I haven’t read his book yet. (It’s going to happen soon, I promise )
Now on to me.
You must wonder what I meant by that ‘dirty and beaten down road’ in my title. What does this clumsy metaphor of mine represent?
It represents the corruption and the selfishness that is prevalent in my country. It represents all the blocked out roads I can’t take.
Not here to make excuses, trust me. And not here to rant either, so I am going to keep things positive and make a long story short.
A poor country with large upfront costs to pay and a meager salary makes for a bad business climate.
Offline business are off the menu for me right now, mainly because of lack of capital to deal with the bribes, racketeering, and the unnecessary paperwork that is used to drain you of most of your funds.
So I’m looking to deliver value in the online world instead.
Started freelancing and learning some copywriting last summer, and got paid a little in the process. I owe it to @SinisterLex 's copywriting thread, which brought to my awareness the opportunities of the copy world.
So that’s my story in short. I’m glad to be here, and I hope I can contribute to this awesome community.
