Hopefully this serves as an adiquate introduction. I'm here to seek help/advice first and foremost and while it may seem longwinded below is the reason I joined the forum.
“Unless the pain of inaction exceeds the pain of action, no change will occur”.
I want my life to be more painful so I get off my a$$ and work for a better future CONSISTENTLY. I’ve developed a strategy that could possibly help others and myself. I would love any criticism/advice/feedback as it will be taken seriously.
“I declare war on the slow-lane and sidewalk! At least for tonight...”
I’ve had either a FTE or FTM, all depending if I follow through with my entrepreneurial plans. I DON”T want to forget the importance of what MJ has thought me in his books but I fear my life might be to comfortable for me to care by next week, let alone month or year. I have developed a strategy to counteract this terrible mindset and will be using it starting today with this post. Here is my strategy.
All free time is spent on the fast-lane lifestyle/self improvement/building a business/providing value or an increase in work hours is due. If 100% of focus is not on ones dreams, then it will be on a soul crushing job that makes life painful.
Perhaps constantly reminding ones-self of long term pain brought by the slow-lane is a way to make the present more painful. Living in a hyper-reality constructed in one’s head about the horrors of life in the slow-lane might just be what one needs to get off their a$$. I’m hoping at least this works for me.
This is where my “call for help” comes into play. I would love some feedback on my strategy and I’m grateful if anybody takes the time to read this far. If I have success or failure with this strategy I will report back within a couple months with the results. Lastly I would like to ask how you entrepreneurs had your FTE as hopefully it can be used as rage fuel for mine. Thanks for reading, it means a lot

FTE = F*ck this event. Where you have no choice but to change your ways
FTM = Like a F*ck this event but are able to slip back into old ways or forget the meaning behind the event. Temporary vs permanent change
