G'day, (sorry this is long, but this is my intro)
I'm Chris from Sydney, Australia. I'm 18 years old and about 10 months out of high school. My picture is me 10 months ago, taken on the last day of high school. I look much cooler now lol.
I never once bought into the whole slowlane dogma - although I did accept minor fragments as I discovered more about finance from a very early age.
I knew there was another way to live, a much better way. Until very recently, the clear antithesis to this almost universally accepted doctrine was invisible to me.
But, like the missing elements on the perodic table that physically had to exist, I knew there was a secret to massive, torrential financial success unknown to conventional wisdom.
I've read some decent personal development writings like Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and Rich Dad Poor Dad. These certainly have their place and they clarified a lot for me.
An important other contributor to my attitude has been boldanddetermined.com by Victor Pride. That is a seriously brilliant website which I highly recommend to men, and especially young men. Victor recommended the book: the millionaire fastlane and encouraged his young entrepreneurial readers to "voraciously" read the fastlane forum.
I was curious, but ignored it for a few weeks. Then on Friday the 1st of August, I bought Millionaire Fastlane and downloaded it onto my Kindle. I consumed it over the weekend.
I'll be honest, I'm a smart guy and I get a lot of respect from my peers. I went to a great high school full of Asian geniuses and I was one of a handful who didn't go straight to university. I'm glad I got the right perspective on uni so early.
I don't muck around like most 18 year old guys and I have a winner's attitude. I've got the mind of a multimillionaire without the millions.
IMPORTANT: It means nothing if I don't do anything about it though. At the back of my mind, I was sort of scared that I was not going to execute. I don't mind failure - I'm 18 with safety nets, but I was genuinely worried that lack of execution is going to keep me down.
I was worried about that until I had the clarity I have now, boosted tremendously with my vision further crystalised by reading the Millionaire Fastlane.
I might fail. As I said, I don't care about that so much.
BUT, what I can control is that I will absolutely make certain I never ever regret that I never tried or didn't persist the way I should have. I will try. I will keep going. It may be damn tough. I don't care.
I am going to be filthy rich - well, I always knew that but I hated that I would have to work like a dog until I was much older to achieve that. In fact, I wasn't willing to pay that price or make that retarded slowlane bet. I would prefer to live free than rich.
Now, I know I can do both.
I am going to enjoy those riches with all the spare time in the world to enjoy my friends, family, spirituality, health and whatever else I please.
For the past year, I've been buying time to buy more time. I've been saving hard to buy one year (maybe 18 months) of freedom in South America. One year of living costs covered to build my online business empire and reach a monthly income that will allow me to perpetuate those efforts until the law of effection shoots me up that fastlane exponential curve.
I used to hope that would be enough time. Now, I will not let it be otherwise. I am going to make this work. There is no plan B and I have no other option. It's fastlane or the fastlane.
Thank you for reading if you got to here. I wrote this towards the end of the business day at my current 9-5 job which I'm leaving shortly.
I look forward to getting to know you all better.
Chris
