Hi all,

I have a very serious decision to make
and i might make me or brake me. i live in a small town in which i grew up, i know there may be great opportunities here but the place depresses me in every way. I read the millionaire fastlane about 2 years ago and MJ says his biggest move was leaving his home town. Ok i have left before and then came back coz my parents passed and people told me i needed to be home because of some cultural reasons.

I have converted my parents home into a rental property... thats good 95% passive income and it gives me the chance to pursue my dream fastlane business.

My fast lane website: Ok I've been trying to lift this website of mine for about two years now but i just dont have the right energy to make it big.

I think my home town sucks shit and I think relocating to a new city will give me the edge to realize my website.

So guys... is it a good idea to just leave or will leaving my town not make any difference?? 25758

I left. For me it's the best thing I ever did. I sold the TV, changed my diet, added more fresh air and exercise and family time. Moving helped me to kill off my bad habits & lose the bad influences. Now I find I get more done in an hour than I did in a morning back "home".

I think when you leave home , it gives you new perspectives on life. Can really change your view on life. I believe people may be more successful when they move away from their home environment because they don't have the family in their face all the time or the back history. It's breathing in a different atmosphere where you can grow, change, and reach your potential.

wow! talking about my family... they really do depress me. they are un-supportive , lazy and really kill my spirit. my main reason for wanting to leave is coz i want to get away from their negetive energy. I didnt realize how much of a big part they play in my negative thought... F*cking depressing i tell you.

anyways thanks for the comment... mattie :smile2:

Like it or not, we are social animals. The environment influences us greatly. Somewhere (maybe here) I read that if you are with 5 drunks, you will be the sixth one; If you are with 5 athletes you will be the sixth, if you are with 5 entrepreneurs you will be the sixth.

The positive thing about the internet age is that your environment can be the best entrepreneurs/ thinkers/ ... of history through books, they will be the best mentors.

So I think it may not be mandatory to change city, since you could change your environment within the same city, but obviously, changing the city requires it and gives you a new perspective.
