Okay guys so im going to get through this pretty quick. My dad has always been a idea man but yet hes 54 years old and hasn't taken much action. He speaks of good knowledge but hes never really laid it down and ran something super successful even though he seems to know a ton more then me about all of this fastlane business stuff. Its like hes been trying to figure out for quite a few years how to take action in the fastlane but always ended up running into something else. Anywho we've kinda ran this idea past eachother a few times. Hes had the idea for a while but just now have we made a few meetings in order to talk about what the business can truly be. Just sort of laid down the basics on how its going to work and other planning. Hes not financially in the best position right now and i sometimes feel like hes stuck in the slowlane with the fastlane mindset. He just told me the otherday we'll get started on this soon he just needs to figure some stuff out. Its like hes always at the point of taking action on something but yet never does or just gets plain or distracted by life, and when he does take action maybe i just dont seem to notice it because im looking for something else.

The problem here is yeah hes a really good mentor and all but Im taking advice from someone who knows alot and its all great information but yet he hasnt made it to far into the fastlane in his life. Hes an idea man and im the person trying to take action and open doors upon new doors. I feel likes its holding me back at times. I know the fastlane isn't a super quick process but i believe as others do it can happen at a very fast speed. Yeah, Maybe it is me thinking i can get into this all so fast. I know i need capitol to start something, I love the idea of taking action asap. I just want to make a change and see it happen. Anyways hes like a partner to me and yes i would like to work with him but i mean im just about to turn 18 and sometimes i feel like it has to be me that needs to take the action. I cant figure out if i should just go out and do my own thing while taking his advice or do what ive been doing for this past little while and wait...wait...wait for something to change. Hes in a rut and i just dont want to suck myself into something that wont get anywhere.


Where can i find the right answer? Will time tell my what to do? Will I have to get him to get his a$$ up and do something? Or am i just impatient (which i dont think is a bad thing i just use it as a motive to take action and do something.)

Any input may help me get a clearer picture.
