Worrying about your first product not being "Fastlane worthy"?

[Carlo J.]

This post is for fastlaners starting their first product who have this lingering debate in their head asking, "Is my product really fastlane worthy?" and aims to resolve it.

Okay so I have been working on my VERY FIRST product for the past year and a half. It's a book for musicians to cure as well as how to avoid a neurological movement condition. It is something that can destroy a musician's career and I feel the need to educate them, both amateur and pro, on how to avoid it.

Now my problem is that I've had this ping-pong match in my head for so long asking the question, "Is my book REALLY Fastlane worthy?" and I still can't seem to come up with an answer. I've had forum members tell me it ain't but I debate it in my head and think that it can. Nevertheless, its causing me confusion.

Ultimately, I figured that it is only me who knows my target market better and so I resolved this confusion through this step-by-step process that I hope would benefit you too.

1. Assess your current situation

My first MAJOR goal is to earn at least a $1,000 a month online. I know that may seem like petty cash to you but it's because I live in a developing country where the standard rate of living is around $500/month. Also, I've never earned anything online yet and I know that if I want to achieve BIG goals it's wise to start gaining small successes first and build momentum from there. Getting a taste of that first $1,000 a month would give me the confidence to pursue bigger goals.


2. Tie it to something bigger

I realized that if in the worst case scenario my book/s weren't fastlane at all, and didn't ramp off to Law of Effection, I at least undoubtedly believe that I could hit $1,000 a month or even $3,000 to $10,000 a month with the books I would create. I then saw that living in a developing country is a huge advantage time-wise. It's because it would allow me absolute TIME FREEDOM to research, study and learn new skills that would ultimately serve my fastlane "home-run product". It's geo-arbitrage the other way around. Whereas if I were living in a first world country, I know that $3,000 to $10,000 a month won't do much of an effect in my lifestyle hence I see the wisdom in MJ saying that you must strive to strike already for "home-runs" and exploit the commandment of Scale. Maybe because he is assuming more of America as his audience.

Being that said, here are the bigger benefits I tied my current actions to:

TIME FREEDOM

a. I could learn to code and program apps
b. I could learn technology engineering and begin to invent
c. I could go out in the social world every day and experiment to create the next best-selling online affiliate dating product.

MONEY FREEDOM

a. I could invest in better equipment or technologies that are requisite to my future fastlane product
b. I could afford expensive seminars and coaching sessions with mentors I admire.

3. Just start!

Regardless if you're living in whatever country, once you've started a product, just to commit to finish it. Even though you realize halfway your product ain't fastlane, you'll feel much worse if you quit midway. At the very least, we will all get invaluable market feedback and lessons along the way that will prep us for that "home-run".

Hope this has added value to you. Let me know your thoughts and if you have anything to say.
