Starting as a 17 old Teen in Germany

[Zottel]

Hey guys,

I'm a 17-year-old student from Germany, and after reading the book "TMF ," I really want to embrace the Fastlane lifestyle. This may sound like wishful thinking, but the book has truly changed my mindset. I've always wanted to earn a substantial amount of money, not just to spend it, but to achieve something significant, liberate myself, and make a positive impact. I simply want to "live the best life I can possibly live" and prove it to myself.

Now that you know my intention, I haven't really started yet. The fear of failure is what's holding me back. I have numerous business ideas, but none of them seem good enough to execute. Beneath every idea lies the fear of failure. I understand that failure is a stepping stone to success, but I can't muster the courage to commit to one idea. I come up with excuses like, "What if I invest two years in executing that idea, and it fails completely?" I know it's more about execution, but I struggle to find the faith to truly commit to one idea.

Please share your thoughts with me. Should I just pick one idea and go all-in on execution?

Some questions (for those who have made it):

1. Which books, aside from MJ DeMarco's, have helped you on your journey?
2. Do you have any habits you can recommend?
3. What were the major decisions that led to your success?

I hope my English isn't too bad, and I would be extremely grateful if anyone could share their thoughts on my story.
