Is there ever a point when you feel like you're "there"? I mean, have you ever just sat in a bar, designing your newest business, drinking some really good beer and think "Damn, I have a really great life"? That's what I'm doing right now...
I haven't reached my definition of "wealthy" yet. But will I ever? I mean, as soon as I build more, all I do is raise the bar. That's life. You keep raising the bar. I grew up poor. Now I own cars and homes. No consumer debt. I have an amazing wife and kids. I've traveled all over. I live in my dream home. Yet there is more to do now then there has ever been in the past. It seems that success begets success.
My observation is this: there always seems to be a point on the horizon that we feel we must reach. We think when we get there we will be "happy". That's not the way life works. No matter how far you go, the horizon lies beyond reach. We never get to a place where we've "arrived". We never get to a point where we define success and have met all our goals, because as soon as we hit goals, we redefine our goals and set new ones. There's no such thing as "making it". There is only integrity, value, faith, courage...the good stuff. And ALL this stuff is available anytime you want to get on board. Can you become successful overnight? You bet. You can become wealthy and successful instantly.
The Fastlane has nothing to do with money. It has to do with living a great life. You can get started anytime, and all the money you'll ever need will follow automatically.
