I read TMF and it really touched home with me on how I want to live my life- which is that of complete freedom (financial and time). I am currently a student studying business and plan on starting a fast lane business as soon as possible. The only problem is that I have no idea where to begin, viable ideas, or a specific skill set that will set me apart from others. Advice from others would be greatly appreciated.
