TLDR: I am starting my Fastlane journey. My main objective is to dissociate my journey from slow lane dogma. This thread is to collect evergreen skills and the way of life of fastlaners. I am to start my journey today and want to make an exit of 8 figures before 27th Aug 2025(30 months from now).

Firstly, I don't know whether I can even make it to 8 figures exit. The 30 months time period is the deadline, so I can track and push myself. My main goal is to gain as much skin in the game of Fastlane journey as possible.
Goals I desire to achieve before I die:
Becoming a Whale Investor, Venture Capitalist, business magnate

I have deconstructed my journey into phases:

Phase-1: Whiteroom Classroom:
This white room has one primary goal: to create the perfect education system involving the removal of trivial things that have no direct impact on my journey. The time frame for this phase is 3 months from now (27th May). The basic methodology of this education system is to expose myself to pain, expand my horizon, plan all the way to the end, visualise 70 steps ahead and develop patterns between different datasets. The Main Objective of Whiteroom is to prepare me for the next phase.

Key Words:
Micro-Learning: Microlearning enhances learning and performance in the most efficient and effective manner possible through short pieces of content. Assets can be accessed on-demand when the learner needs them.
Macro-Learning: Macro-learning is a learning system of gradually increasing complexity that is designed to be accessible to a broad range of learners with varying levels of skills. In macro-learning, learners are exposed to a range of content and instruction that gradually increase in complexity.
->: Arrow represents the following skill I will be learning after learning the mentioned skill

And below is the required Skill Acquisition which I want to develop (Let me know if you think I should add/remove anything)

Skill acquisition:
Micro-Learning:
Keeping up with trends and eye catchy narratives(AI, Crypto)
Copy Writing -> Sales -> Marketing -> Networking
Team Management -> Work Culture/Work Environment
Debt Financing -> Equity Financing
Psychology -> Negotiation -> Persuasion -> Branding -> Personal Branding

Macro-Learning:
Programming (Blockchain Engineering->Full Stack Engineering-> Cybersecurity)
Studying business models of various breakthrough monopolies
Entrepreneurship
Venture Capitalism->Private Equity->Business Acquisition->Learning about the flow of capital


Coping Mechanisms to develop and Habits to Adapt:
Speed Reading->Photographic Memory
Productivity (Effectiveness and Efficiency)->Time Management(Minimizing Indentured Time)
Polyphasic Sleep-> Lucid Dreaming
Antifragility-> Becoming Maverick->Levelling up exponentially.

Phase 2: Apprenticeship and Research
Time Frame(2 months)
In this phase of life, I will focus on execution. My purpose in this period is to Reinvent myself by trading in the currency of Insights. Understanding how to standardise systems to deliver repeatable quality with each service. And having hands-on by working in a boom-bust industry startup.
1st Month(May 27th-June 26th): I will be fulfilling current market needs through programming(Gig Work)
2nd Month(27th June-26th July): Trying to provide a service or to make a minimal viable product using productocracy rules.

I need clarity on what to do next after completing these phases. But I will take these steps and figure it out. Anyone who has taken his/her time out articulating my current situation can help suggest or criticise whether the process/trajectory I am making for myself is accurate or not.
