xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business

[xShepherdx]

Not a business related update but I finally got my finances back in order after getting rid of the last business.

And, after doing a lot of soul-searching and work on myself, I decided it was finally time to propose to my girlfriend of 10 years. But I didn't want to just do a regular proposal...

So, on a trip to Kentucky I secretly called 15+ breeders and found an amazing breeder who had a little black lab pup that was everything we've ever dreamed of. I Venmo'd him the deposit for the dog in the airport bathroom and kept the pup a secret until the proposal. I ordered a ring from china (saved about $4k lol) and I had everything set to go for the pick up date.

My whole family helped me surprise my GF with both the proposal and the pup and it was amazing. We all ugly cried tears of joy and I was able to make two of my girlfriend's life-long dreams come true in one day (get proposed to/eventually married and have a dog of her own).

Here's some photos of our little family:




P.S. I'm still working on Fastlane projects but have been spending 80% of my time getting my mindset and life back in order. The pup has helped with this tremendously and is a great source of motivation. I hope to share more updates soon!

That's F*cking WONDERFUL man!!

Good luck in your marriage and I hope this will be a wonderful journey!

This is living proof that there is NO such thing as "work-life balance".

It's work-life synergy:

• Use the joy you get from home as motivation to work harder at your business.
• Use the $$$ generated by your business to become a better provider and protector at home.

It's not A or B.

It's A which leads to more B, which leads to more A, which leads to more B, and so on.

Thanks Heavy, I really appreciate this!

I never thought about it as "work-life synergy" before but that makes a lot more sense to me than "work-life balance". This one is getting printed out and put on my wall so I never forget that the two work together, not against one another.
