Hey Guys - I am wrestling with a topic, looking for some new insight. The question is "Does where you live change your probability for success in the Fastlane"? Background - I live in a beautiful part of the sunny Florida panhandle. You can't get much better than this area with one exception....there are virtually no successful practicing entrepreneurs that live here. Our area is one of the poorest in the nation and innovation runs from here as soon as they get a "ticket" to another city/area. While the businesses that I own do not derive their income from this area, I think location may hold my companies back. I have this idea that being surrounded by more like-minded individuals would dramatically improve my probability for fastlane success...but am unsure about the idea. Without forums like this and the outside consultants I hire, I really don't have any interaction with people looking to succeed on fastlane levels. Your thoughts?
