More thinking about retirement, investing, and what I need to do to make the right choices. I work a full-time job right now and need to start making passive income. While there are many ideas, like he stated in his book, it's all about choices and actions and not everyone brings the same results. More been going through the process of doing things alone and then asking for any kind of help seems to mean I love being Independent too much and get the job done myself versus being dependent on others. I don't need help getting ideas, but more long-term gains versus short-term gains. The bigger picture. The book was what I needed at this time, and M.J. has a way of thinking similar to me in certain ways, but then others I'm still learning and going through the process.Absolutely! The book has great advice. Where are you on your fast lane journey?
As he stated in his book we're made to create. My full-time job is not really about innovation or creativity, so yes, 2026, the urge to get more creative is there right now. It's been interesting watching what you can create with concrete, and wood with making things you can use and being artistic. I believe it's more about finding tools, objects, and just being creative artistically. I just haven't done it in a lot of years physically and getting that natural instinct back. It would just be choosing a project and completing it for starters. I've been wasting too much time. And as he reminded me it's all about how I use my time and time is money. If I'm not taking the actions, the projects not being created, and then there is no object to sell if I'm not using those organic and natural abilities. "What's stopping me?" Wasting my time on the wrong things or sleeping too much when I should be doing something towards my goals.
