Hi everyone,
My name is Ben and I'm from Western Australia.
Wow, I have struggled to write this intro because a lot of the ones I've read are from people already travelling the Fastlane. I must admit it's a little intimidating when I have not started anything myself.
So, like all good addiction meetings (AA, etc):
"Hello, my name's Ben and I'm a Slowlaner"
I desperately don't want to be and have began researching and learning what I can. I have a few pathways to choose from. I won't go into too much background suffice to say I have tried most "Slowlane" get rich schemes over the years. MLM's (Herbalife anyone?!), blackbox trading systems, even sports arbitrage syndicates.
I don't regret my Slowlane past. To do that would be to regret my wife and 2 wonderful children. But I do know that I refuse to end up there. The biggest problem I've had is the numbers of the Slowlane "get rich slowly" process. It's bulls$%^ and the beauty of MJ's book was it put into words what I hadn't. I think it really hit home a while back when a financial planner tried to sell me a debt recycling scheme that he did. But it basically it meant I had to put all my eggs in his basket and pray that it went ok for the next 20 years. Then I'd have paid the mortgage but still wouldn't be anywhere near a financially independent lifestyle. Pffft, f@#$ that I said!
I've looked at most things since but I always came back to scaling businesses being the key. And so I find myself here.
And lastly, I apologise in advance for my future stoopid, newbie questions!
Cheers
Ben
