To hell with all this playing safe BS. Burn the FN boats! :jawdrop:

I burned the boats in 1997 with a wife and three kids and wouldn't have it any other way. Guess what? I didn't burn the boats because I had a fastlane plan. I burned them because I was tired of the mediocrity and hated the feeling of having no control over my life.

Burned a bunch more boats 8 months ago with a big move across the country. It didn't seem smart on paper to do so. Lots of people questioned my decision. A few are still upset with me (us) for doing what we did. A favorite quote of mine is by Steve Jobs... "You have limited time. Don't waste it living someone else's life." It's been one of the best decisions of our lives.

BURN THE BOATS!

BUT...

Don't stop there.







[Notice I'm not saying "it depends" or '"what feels right to you" or "if this, then that", "blah blah blah" :yawn:]

Sorry if I missed a post from you before, so feel free to just copy it in instead of replying....

After burning boats, how did your daily routine change? You said u didnt have fastlane plan, so how did you structure each day when you became free of the job? How long after burning boats did you find a need that brought in income?
