Hi INSIDERS,
I wanted to take the chance and say hello. My name is Tim, 34 years of age and I am from Germany. I am married to a beautiful women and we have a beautiful daughter of 2,5 years age. Usually I wait a long time and read a lot free stuff before I pay for something on the internet. But this is different, completely different.
I read unscripted within about 2 weeks and it entirely changed everything for me. Eversince I can think of, I wanted to start a business but I never executed. Hence, my way in the system was obviously. Finish school, study and get a job. But the thing is, it never fully fit into my personality. In the meantime it is pure torture for me to be employed. My "problem" is, that I make quit a lot money without having to work that much, which makes me terribly complacent with regard changing anything.
A couple of months ago I read "Can't hurt me" written by David Goggins. This changed my view on motivation when it comes to working out and being on a diet. In one of his interviews I listened to, he said: "the mind controls everything". I was already aware of this, but actually never really thought about it. My biggest problem is, that I am an idea guy, as @MJ DeMarco puts it in one of the last chapters in Unscripted . I have quite good ideas which may (or may not) become a profitable business, but I never acted on them, because my mind was in my way. I always found a reason why it will not work, instead of finding reasons why it works. I honestly don't understand myself sometimes.
No book ever hit me so hard in the face as Unscripted . I never before could relate so much to the words of a book as in Unscripted . Joining Fastlane last week and as of today the INSIDERS, is me kicking myself in my butt, shouting: something must change! I cannot longer accept being part of the rat-race, if life has so much more to offer than working for someone form Monday to Friday, only to try to "live" at two days and take some days off during the next 30+ years.
I am very much looking forward to reading here everything available and finally acting on ideas I have, leaving the idea guy and the rat race behind. Any comments are highly welcome.
