Hi, my name is Erik and come from the Netherlands. I make good money as an independent business consultant but still trade my time for money. Although I have enough business ideas, I find it difficult to execute on them. The mortgage, my wife and 3 kids and my current lifestyle made me to earn money now over investing my time in financial freedom later.
I have read most of the success literature, but none of the methods described fitted me. I belief in positive thinking but am realistic in that thinking will not fill my wallet. I’m also not willing to move to another country and live below my means. Being over 50 I have left backpacking way behind and am not willing to give up my luxury holidays and fine dining. I took some swings and implemented some ideas. And although they brought me good money, it wasn't the wealth I was hoping for. So, over the years, my dreams of a second home abroad and exclusive old-timer cars in the garage slowly died.
The Fastlane Millionaire is the first book I came across in years that brought my dreams back alive. The ideas from the book match my believes and awakened me. So I validated my existing ideas against the CENTS criteria and selected one that has the most impact and I could developed myself in a short time. Although the bills still have to be paid, I reserved time and evenings to work on my project. The current COVID pandemic further reduced my portfolio and changed my holiday schedule, leaving me extra time to bootstrap my path to an unscripted life.
