I am a 23 year old classical musician who wants to realize his dreams of affluence, limitless wealth and passive income. I have been force fed by society that artists will always remain poor, if not mediocre at best, because of the kind of industry we are in.
Ever heard of the term "starving artist"? This is a common picture that is being associated with us artists: be it musicians, painters or writers.
"Unless fame graces your way, you will be among the 99.9% of artists who will just never make it."
I remember feeling so depressed when I realized this as I entered into my first year in Music school. So why did I still decide to study Music then? Because it is what I love to do, it’s my gift. I heeded my desires to learn Music for selfish reasons.
But the dream of a great life never died. After graduation, I thought of all the ways I could realize this big dream: To have a great life and still do what I love to do. I distilled my big dream into one word---Freedom. And I am willing to do whatever it takes to have it.
After graduating college, I spent the next three years of my life like MJ: burning cash to every seminar I could get my hands on in search to find the key to wealth. I was so excited and so foolish. I went from one opportunity to the next ultimately leading to a bleeding credit card balance and a mountain of debt. Sad and disheartened, I sulked back and almost accepted the fate that the secret to wealth was too elusive and that maybe Art and Music were to be my only consolation---at least I get lost in a fantasy world of happy emotions as I indulge in what I love doing.
It all changed when I read the book: Millionaire Fastlane . I could go on and on about this book but in one phrase I can tell that this book gave me the 360 degree mindshift I badly needed. In short, by quoting MJ's own words from the book, "gift a dream" is really what Millionaire Fastlane gave me. It resurrected my dreams because I could CLEARLY see the roadmap of what it really takes to gain massive wealth, complete time and money freedom and having the world as your playground.
So here I am in the forum. I want to thank you all guys for having me here.
Cheers to our fastlane success!
