From the miserable comforts of the mediocre slowlane

[Phoenix Leo]

I've known it was all bullshit for so very long.
Walk the treadmill, reproduce, make sure your offspring is indoctrinated to enter the treadmill, perish.

But as long as I walk the treadmill I can afford all the comforts.
The hyper-realities. A different author would refer to it as the soothing lullaby of Mother Culture.
Dulling the pains of the chafing shackles. Drawing away attention from those cold iron bars.

Got a nice house, got a nice car, got a nice TV, got a nice computer, got a nice big bed, got nice clothes, got stable finances.
F*ck.

There's been no F*ck This Event. Just the constant chafing, the dull pains, the aching misery.
And then the slow realization that I'm leading my kids right into the same fold.
It's the safe path! Surely every true parent want their kids to be safe?!
F*ck.

This ain't right.
There is another path, I know it.
I can see others walking it.
How do I get from here to there?
There is so much to read.
So many messages.
Signs pointing this way or that way.
It's a jungle out there.

Investing? Day trading? Forex? Crypto? Real Estate? Flipping Houses? eCom? Dropshipping? App development?
Entrepreneurship.
That's it.

I start my own company.
There's a spark in my chest.
Got this idea.
Looks good on the spreadsheet.
Great in fact, even with these conservative numbers.
Got everything set up and ready to rock!

Why is nobody buying?
Can't they see how great this is?
Great value at a good price!
I KNOW there is a need for this out there!
Damn, sales and marketing is hard.
I'm bleeding money, chest is almost empty.
I need to do something.
Hey, a job ad!
I can sell my services to these guys.
Give me those shackles, get back on the treadmill.
F*ck.

At least I can keep the house and all the comforts.
F*ck.

What went wrong?
Despite the failures, the spark is still there.
Growing stronger.
Need to find those gaps and fill them.
Need to read more.

4-Hour Work Week. Yes, but..
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Yes, but..
The Lean Startup. Yes, but..
The Myths About Creativity. Yes, but..
Think and Grow Rich. YES, but..
The Art of the Deal. Wait, WTF?!

"The Millionaire Fastlane "?
Oh, really?
This guy's not even trying.
Why not just call it "Yet another get rich quick scheme" and be done with it.
Ignored.

Search goes on.
More books.
More websites.
More YouTube.
So much bullshit everywhere.

Hold on.
Who's this guy and why is he being interviewed?
He's making a lot of sense and he wrote a book about it?
"The Millionaire Fastlane "?
Oh, really?
Well, maybe I was overly sceptic, I'll check it out.

F*ck.
Finally!
Big Picture Clarity.
There it is.
All mapped out.
Got to read Unscripted too.
Yes, this is it.
This is where it's at.
There's a raging furnace in my chest.

So, now I'm here.
Thank you for lighting up the path, @MJ DeMarco
