I have just finished the Millionaire Fastlane and will start Unscripted next. I am closer to 40 years old than to 35. I prefer to limit the personal information that I disclose, because:
I have never taken the risk of going fast lane for two reasons:
- I may need slow lane jobs to survive now or in the future, and
- The thought police of human resources may think that:
- I should think only about how to make customers happy and stakeholders richer, not about entrepreneurship.
- If anything, I should be more focused on "ownership", maybe even "intrapreneurship", taking risks with big downside and no upside.
- If I value my time, then I am not a good employee, and they should choose someone else.
I have never taken the risk of going fast lane for two reasons:
- Impact on my CV, for the most likely return to the slow lane. I am not in a terrible place in the slow lane, I would rather not fall to the sidewalk.
- Could not see opportunities with a reasonable entry barrier, i.e. to do moonlighting. You cannot play lottery if you cannot find where to buy your tickets. I am slowly improving at this.
- I am aiming for decent money (just enough to survive) but as passive as possible. Sorry for the disappointment.
- When I can free my time, I can put 80 hours weeks on going fast lane.
- If that fails, I can keep trying with something else, as long as I have time provided by my greatly-passive decent-money.
- If I cannot keep trying, I failed. I made a treasonous choice; I prefer the "risk of ruin" concept, often found in the ergodicity context.
- I am not waiting, I am working in that direction. In my 20s I waited, and that may have been my greatest mistake ever.
- I know that I am not going to hit big money without leaving the slow lane, but I am not aiming for that at this moment.
- I am just introducing myself, with some possibly unusual clarifications.
- I am not providing advice in any other point other than this one. I could try to make a content business out of that, but:
- If content is coming from similar content and only allows creating similar content, it is too similar to a Ponzi scheme. In general you should try to avoid Ponzi schemes.
- If you ever feel like giving money to some random anonymous guy to tell you what you can read in the millionaire fastlane , unscripted , and some other books (which may be not as good, but still contain something useful) in a comprehensive, concise, concrete, and consistent way, let me know and look no further. Just joking.
- I am not asking for advice, this is not something I thought today while having coffee. Nevertheless, advice is always welcome, the worst thing that may happen for both of us is that I ignore it.
