Hi everyone,
So as to introduce myself, let me tell you my brief story towards my decision to pursue the FastLane life.
In May 2019 I graduated from university as a Mechanical Engineer. I've always loved how power is transformed in movement, in action, in life. I wanted a challenge and took my desired major.
In the late years of my studies, I undertook an internship in Ford. Everything changed for me. I realized that the daily work routine was driving me mad. I lacked a spiritual growth, I lacked happiness in life. So I rejected to work anymore in any corporation. Now, I can list three main factors for which I reject a classic job:
1. See the same people every day. Talk about the same empty topics every day.
2. Having to obey a boss who today is more known as a "leader". I've never had the option to choose who to follow. I have no problem following someone who is better than me because it is the way I learn from someone much more experienced, much more intelligent. But I feel uncomfortable being forced to follow a person I don't believe in.
3. The payment. Classic jobs will not make me a millionaire. I have seen men and women younger than I am driving supercars, attending large social events and befriending people of high status. I want to be one of them. And a classic job will not give me the lifestyle I crave.
Don't get me wrong. I value people who strive to put food on the table, to feed a family. And I know that within corporate life there are entrepreneurial people who stand out and achieve great lifestyles. But it is not my way.
By looking for answers, I found MJ DeMarco's books among some others and I decided to change the way I'm conducting myself in life. My ambition is to have spiritual, familiar and economic abundance.
I currently live with my savings. This month I'm leaving my parents' house. So, my time starts running before I lost all my savings. If I fail, I will be pushed to ask my parents for financial help and I surely will not feel good doing that.
As for my projects, I started to develop a video game (I have skills in C#, Python and I always liked to draw and create 3D art) that began to give me a merely symbolic amount of money. If all goes well, that game will make me 5-8k per month.
On the other hand, I'm interested in the import market. By browsing the Forum I found that Walter Hay sells some books on the subject. I will give them a look.
Finally, I am self studying marketing because I realized that everything in life is sales and behind sales there is marketing.
So, there it is. My brief summary towards my FastLane dream.
I'm excited to be here with you. Thanks a lot to bringing up this community. Thank you MJ DeMarco, thank you all!
