Hello Everyone,

First off I want to say thank you to MJ DeMarco and all of the awesome entrepreneurs on this forum.
The information given here and in The Millionaire Fastlane is PRICELESS.


A little about me..

I am a 27 year old guy from Texas
I have been walking the sidewalk my entire life in every aspect and had no idea.
I currently have a day job as a land surveyor... I opted for the military instead of school.
Married with two toddler aged children.
Current financial situation is $6000 coming in and $6000 going out every single month almost all of which is parasitic debt...brand new vehicles, mortgage, loans, credit cards etc.
I have had my troubles with alcohol.. have been sober for over a year though.

What am I doing to change my situation?

-Incorporating discipline in every aspect of my life
- Spending every spare second I have learning, improving myself
- Eating, Breathing and Shitting my ONE Fastlane idea
-Taking the advice of the entrepreneurs on this forum whether it is harsh or not
- Starting to take action and stop ACTION FAKING (this is a huge problem for me)

I am currently working on an offline subscription based home services model.
Franchising out or liquidation is the end goal.

A progress thread WILL be coming soon

Thanks for reading.

Turns out that I can haunt people about certain topics.

First, congrats on fixing a major problem. Alcohol is an issue that some people don't want to address.

Next, the title of your post may show how you feel compared to others here. Even if it is in jest, it is still a reflection on your overall beliefs. Think about that.

You are stating that you are taking action. Your post title should reflect your feelings on that. Then you may actually feel what you are doing instead of what you have done.

Past is old news. Move on and believe.

Thank you SteveO

You are 100% right. The only purpose the past mistakes serve to me at this point is a reminder of where I came from and where I don't want to go back to.

Full speed ahead

Your brutal honesty about your situation is refreshing.

Why not make a Progress Thread talking about your business? It can help keep you accountable while opening up a way to ask questions about your business in particular.

Good luck
