So, I've read the book and been lurking on this forum for over a year now. When I first read, “The Millionaire Fastlane†last year, I was immediately inspired and motivated to go DO it!!!!! Fast forward to today, and I'm still exactly where I was last year, no money coming in, but yet still fantasizing about my great future.
What went wrong?
Me and my inability to focus on any 1 thing for longer than about 2 seconds. Last year, I tried (notice the highlighting on "tried") learning how to program, create a website, learn a foreign language, lose 20 pounds, get a job, ... and that's just off the top of my head. I didn't stick with any of them for longer than 1 month because I just had moved on to my next "great idea."
But the thing is I actually don't regret it. Oh, I'm really frustrated and annoyed with myself for blowing a whole year (really the first 24 soon to be 25 years of my life). But the thing is I've actually learned so much about myself. I've learned that I do have a problem with procrastination and actually sticking with a project. I've learned that I can in fact survive without a job. I've learned that being the family's "bum" isn't half as bad as I thought it would be.
So, why am I joining now?
I'm joining this forum for the accountability and the ability to record my progress. I do well when I know there are other people watching and supporting me. And I know from all of the lurking I've been doing that this place is a goldmine of not only information but also support. And besides, it's going to be awesome to be able to look back, and see exactly where I started at and how far I've gone.
So, here I am. Hear me roar. Let's get started, but remember to have the patience to see it through!
