Hi! Hello! and Welcome!
I’m reading fastlane forum for few weeks and I’m very excited about how much of good content can be found here. In addition to this I see a lot of people with proper business mindset, mindset that I want to learn and for that purpose I decided to sign up and learn from You almighty people
. I'm badly need new environment. Environment of fastlane'rs and people trying to achieve the same goals as me, so I'm here for seeking knowledge, inspiration, learning and taking action. Everyone have some doubts and I believe that with right people You can overcome most of problems, doubts and uncertainity so I think we can help each other. Nice to meet You all!
Ok, so now I'll tell you my little story.
Before reading The Millionaire Fastlane , How was it?
Before I read Millionaire Fastlane I was commited to my dream about being a professional musician selling tons of cds and playing gigs that support me financially and give an opportunity to live and work like I desire. That love has started when I was in high school and I done it for almost 7-8 years (with gap years for college and working abroad). I was on the path “do what you love to do, go with your passion”. How a terrible idea ;-/ especially when it comes to an art. Most of my released material was self released. I put in it a lot of time, effort and money and achieve… satisfaction and a little amount of money for few better meals I think. WTF?
Now I think its because I was truly blinded by “go with your passion” and don’t bother about market. I realize that after I've read MJ book. Honestly my music was a little strange and noisy, something that obvious not be a popular thing but in deep of my heart I think “someday, someday my dream come true and I’ll be well earning musician because I am committed and put a lot of effort into it” Wrong!
People don’t need my weird metaphorical bullshit and I see it clearly now. I wonder “what about making music that people will care?” if I want to be success musician I must do something that market needs. Oh goddammit, no way! Do such thing will be nothing more than mental/artistic prostitution, nothing better than my shitty 8-4 job (I’m living in Europe). Why? Because my purpose to making music was always freedom, freedom of doing what I want to do and how I want to do. Some of my few listeners feeling that but most of people don’t, so I decided not giving a shit about being well earning musician, not by price of my artistic freedom. You may say “If you were good, people would buy your shit and come to your gigs”. Honestly I’m think if we talk about art market (music, movies, paintings, books etc) it is a lottery, especially for people who don’t take the easiest path of their art and they try to push the boundaries.
After reading The Milionaire Fastlane, What's next?
I've decided that the best in my case will be a fastlane business consistent with CENTS commandments because what I want the most is freedom and as we know money gives freedom. When I build a good profitable venture I can always do music how and when I like. Doing it just for fun, and don't bother if anyone buy my music or not. So now I'm in the place when I've got few ideas about business models and hunger of knowledge how to materialise few or all of them. I've decided to start learning to code. So far I've learned a basics of html, css and started learning some basics of javascript. I know the path is long and this is just the beginning because learn how to code is one thing and making a good profitable online business is other. Sometimes I wonder “Learning to code or find someone who will do some websites for me?” I ask that question to myself because sometimes I have some doubts and see how long it can takes. That doubts has started haunting my head when I've read a Healthstatus thread titled “Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)”.
My decision for now is to learning to code because I'm carefully watch where I invest my money. I'm afraid that I could pick wrong coder (because i don't have knowledge how to pick good one) or business idea can be bad (I'm learning now how to do proper market research). With knowledge how to code I can make some prototypes on my own and when I see that my prototype website will resonate with market I'll look for some help and invest in pro coders.That approach is better in my opinion because I won't spend any money on experimenting with prototypes. I'll invest my time only.
What do You think about that?
If You endured till here I'm really appreciate it and thank you very much for the time you were spend to read it. I hope we help each other sooner or later.
I wish more success for all of you
ps.
I hope you understand most of my post. I'm still learning english, sorry for inconvenience.
