Imagine having a multi-millionaire mentor by your side EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Since 2007, MJ DeMarco has been a cornerstone of Fastlane, actively contributing on over 99% of days—99.92% to be exact! With more than 39,000 game-changing posts, he's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their freedom.

Forum membership removes this block.
Is it possible to do anything you want in life? No. There's opportunity cost to everything and your life is finite.

Is it possible to do things you cannot currently imagine yourself doing? Yes. Is it possible to create things that no one has dreamed of yet? Yes. Is it possible to positively affect the lives of incomprehensibly large numbers of people? Yes.

The people that post those damn "you can do anything quotes" on social media to get you to join their MLM probably won't, and I give them till about mid February before they stop wearing the Fitbit that was supposed to help them keep their New Year's resolution.

If you're not the stop 6 weeks into something guy, you can do the aforementioned things, though.
my gym is filled now with those 6weeks-guys!
