My epiphany into the fastlane

[YOMANU]

After spending a while browsing around the forum, I think it’s time to share my story.

I’m a 25 year old, living in Belgium, currently stuck in the slowlane. I work in a typical 9-5 job, which I couldn’t hate any more. In my whole life, I never knew what I wanted to do in my professional career. I remember when I was in kinder garden, the teacher asked which jobs we wanted do. I was the only one who didn’t know then, and it has stayed this way my whole life .

Between my boring tasks, I browse the web a lot. That way I feel like actually doing something useful and informative. Mostly I was searching for tips how to save money by cutting expenses. While doing this I stumbled upon the concept of financially independency by saving as much as possible of your income. This intrigued me and I started to live by this concept.

Not that long ago, I stumbled upon a review of TFM and that’s when my vision switched from slowlane to Fastlane thinking. Coincidentally this ‘epiphany’ was combined with an injury on my foot, which made me stay home for 2 weeks. I didn’t waste this time and went on a reading spree with books/forums/blogs about mindfulness, finance and entrepreneurship. After reading the book, I was completely convinced. Now that I know there’s a way out of this miserable way of living, I hate my job even more and minutes seem to last like hours. It also blocks my creativity and positivism.

It dawned to me that there is a reason why I never knew which job I wanted to do. This is because there is NO job I want to do. Apparently my brain already knew this, but my consciousness didn’t. I want to be an entrepreneur, make my own job and be goddamn passionate in it! It’s remarkable how my mindset has completely been shift in such a short period of time.

Now, what have I done in the last couple of weeks:
- read 3 books: TMF , The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and a Dutch financial book.
(Funny actually, never was a reader person but since this mindset shift, I really enjoy it. Now I’ve made a big ‘to read list’ so there’s a lot more to come. Next up is Cashvertising and Creativity today).
- watched a lot of motivational video’s
- searched inspiration for business idea’s
- google google google
- started meditating (don’t manage to do this every day though)

I realized last week that while I was accumulating very useful new info, I wasn’t actually DOING something. That’s when I started practicing my copywriting, because this is something I’ll definitely need in whatever business I begin. Another habit I created is my first action in the morning. I reflect about my previous day and what frustrated me or could be improved. I keep thinking until I have 5 ideas written down. This mostly works, only the last few days my inspiration seems to lessen. During the day I train my mind to spot problems with other people or possible needs. Unfortunately no workable idea so far.

As I don’t have an idea yet what I want to do, I thought about how I could be mentored. My brother is a successful entrepreneur with different businesses, so he was the obvious person to approach (strange actually I didn’t think about him before). When I told him I wanted to change my boring job for the entrepreneur road, he was immediately very enthusiastic, which made me feel very good. We’ll meet up later this week to have an open chat about it.

So in general, the Fastlane Millionaire hasn’t changed my life YET, but it WILLfor sure. I’m highly motivated and looking forward to passionately working on my own business!


P.S. Thanks for reading this guys.
Don’t know if I’ll do a lot of posting around here, but I I’ll certainly do a lot of reading!
