So, I read the TMF and unscripted 2 years ago. Like many here I did get inspired to start my own Fastlane journey. I already had my own freelance business and knew I wanted to work for myself.

2 years later that has not happened…

I would say the main factor for this is comfort. I am very lucky (or some could say cursed) in that I can live at home for free at the moment and I have gotten some freelance work which has made me comfortable enough. I picked up MJs new book and I have to say…

it was like a slap back to reality.

I realize I have applied some but not all of the concepts from TMF and Unscripted and have had more of a slowlane mindset these past 2 years. I am not where I wanted to be 2 years ago and if I continue this way, I am not going to be there in 2, 10 or 20 years. So, I am starting a thread to start documenting my process to my end goal of being completely financial free.

Any advice along the way would be much appreciated!

Current Status:

I have a part time job I can work 3 times a week and net in 1800 USD a month. Since I live at home a big portion of that I can save or invest into the business. That gives me 3 evenings and 4 free days that i can work on learning the specialized skill in the beginning.

Execution plan so far following TMF:

Learn a specialized skill – Going to learn Houdini the VFX program

Get clients in that – The next year I want to get some professional clients doing motion graphics or special effects.

Start a Fastlane business – Not sure about this one yet but going to keep coming with updates.
