The New Me

[Merkin Man]

I consider myself to be a creative thinking person. I often times have ideas for businesses that, after some consideration, make their way off my radar, usually because I decide they aren’t truly viable. But I always take pride in the fact that my mind is coming up with fresh ideas even if, in the end, I decide they aren’t worth acting on.

In the last three weeks, however, I have come up with four legitimate ideas that I honestly believe can and will be extremely successful. I have been breaking each of them down very carefully and, instead of weakening and diminishing like many of my past ideas, these are all gaining strength and momentum the more I research and consider each of them.

I have been reflecting for the last couple of days upon why I am suddenly having much more productive ideas and I believe I may have figured out some (not all) of the reason for my recent improvement in creative thinking:

• I took time for myself, to look within myself, to gain some clarity into what I want to be and where I want to be, not just in business but more importantly in life in general. See my “welcome back to me†thread http://www.thefastlanetomillions.com/showthread.php?t=7085. Although I am still journeying within myself for the answers, I have learned a lot about myself that I didn’t truly understand a few months ago.

• I have been selectively reading posts from the success stories here on the Fastlane. MJ’s post about having an entrepreneurial premise was eye opening. In fact, it wasn’t until I started looking at my life, not just my professional life but also my personal life, from the vantage point of not just what can my business(es) offer but, more importantly, what can I personally offer to the world, that my mind opened up and starting seeing things more clearly.

• Tied into both #’s 1 and 2 – I am not motivated by money this time around. It seems every time in the past that I have tried to make my way out of the rat race and into the Fastlane, my main source of motivation was to make enough money that I could quit my job, yadda-yadda-yadda. But one of the things I learned about myself over the last few months is that, although this probably isn’t going to sound right, I don’t hate my job like I once convinced myself that I did. Quite the contrary, I actually greatly appreciate my job. It has allowed me to live a lifestyle over the past 10+ years that I wanted to live. It is a lifestyle that, if I never find my way to the Fastlane, I am happy to continue to live. Some of you may look at this as a loser-ish mentality. But in contrast, I think it is the fact that I am so grateful to have this job, with everything it gives me, that has freed up a part of my mind to look for those things that will create good, positive results. Not just dollars in my pocket.

One thing I am challenging myself to do right now is to be focused. Focus and motivation are two issues that I struggle with, for various reasons, some that I understand and others that I still am unable to put my finger on the pulse of. I have been carefully breaking down my most recent ideas and my goal is to work at only one idea at a time, giving it everything that I can give it. I believe that is how I will approach everything in my life from here on out.
