My Intro

[jessicabirbari]

Hello! I'm a young architect who recently completed college only to realize that the traditional 9-5 job isn't what I envision for my future. From a young age, I've yearned for financial freedom, and now, more than ever, it's become a burning desire. I aim to establish a steady stream of income not just for myself, but also for my family. Transitioning from the structured environment of academia to the hustle of the real world has intensified this longing for independence amidst the rat race.

I was first introduced to the concept of the Fastlane through an incredible video on YouTube. I purchased the book last week already hooked! I cannot stop reading it! I found the read to be immensely valuable! One particular idea that resonated deeply with me was MJ's discussion about the Slowlane and the flawed notion of "passion." Follow your passion and money will follow. MJ described it as a feedback loop, you only have passion if others have passion in your business.

In terms of my education, I opted for architecture because I have a passion for math, designing, and solving problems. Additionally, it was widely regarded as a secure career path by many. I was even swayed by others boasting of individuals earning six-figure salaries while working only 10-15 hours a week. As someone who loves real estate and the idea of financial freedom, this seemed like the perfect fit for me. However, that is not what it was at all. 40 or more hours with no freedom to design, be creative, no others ways to make me more money.

When I observe others with expensive possessions or witness someone who is affluent, my reaction tends to be one who excited and knowing I can get there too. I find myself questioning why I haven't achieved similar success. However, after reading the book, I now understand that most people only see the end result and not the effort and dedication that went into achieving it.

Anyway, perhaps this wasn't exactly a "brief" introduction, but I'm eager to engage with the forum's posts! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Jessica
