MJ,
I’ve created my awesome Fastlane plan and wanted to share it with you (And everyone else who could use an attitude change).
You may remember when I emailed you in March looking for startup advice. Actually, you probably don’t because I sounded like a shrilly-pitched vagina. Most likely, my email blended in with the rest of the predictably formatted “please tell me what to do and how to make money without moving a finger” bullshit emails that you receive on a daily basis. But as soon as I sent it, I snapped out of it and came to a realization: You weren’t going to respond because the answer was obvious. I needed an attitude change and several shots to the groin from a team of Pro Bowl NFL kickers. So I read your book again and cultivated my chest for new hair.
I spent several months trying to do things I didn’t enjoy. Things that when I imagined doing them, I decided I’d rather head-butt a chain-link fence or hook a Toyota Prius battery up to my balls. I tried making a website that sold leads for wedding photography. I tried teaching myself mind-numbing code to create a simplistic puzzle game for the iPhone. And after I gave up on those ideas, I tried a not-so-fastlane approach with the affiliate marketing of diet plans (stupid). All of that felt like pulling teeth with a jackhammer, and I found it extremely difficult to stay motivated for longer than twelve seconds.
That’s when I got slightly dejected and composed my email to you, and another email to Brad and Angelina, hoping they’d adopt my sorry a$$. If I found animated tears online, I would have attached them. But shortly after, I sat down and began to analyze my strengths.
I went through an old email that I sent my former roommate. It was a hilarious review of our old apartment where we used to live. It was a total dump, so I took every single flaw and blew them out of proportion in a sarcastic, obnoxious review. He laughed so hard, it hurt. He showed everyone he knew and they all thought it was hilarious.
That’s when it hit me. I’m going to write an eBook, and it’s going to be F*cking sweet.
It’s called What Not to Put on Your Resume, and it’s a hilarious compilation of sarcastic work stories; things that you obviously do NOT want to include on your resume. Each chapter heading is a typical resume line, and the story that follows is how I clearly do not demonstrate the said resume line. I started the planning and have put at least four hours of work in per day since March 27[SUP]th[/SUP], all while working a normal nine to five job. I’d like to show you my final product, and what I’ve done to bring it all together. It’s about sixty thousand words and around two hundred print pages.

Also, I’ve created a social networking circle in hopes of generating some targeted interest. The credits section of my book has these links available, so it can be as self-promoting as possible. It’s available on Apple’s App Store, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, as well as Google Play Store. I went through every process needed to self-publish the book, from the editing to the formatting, with no middle man. (Content aggregators can suck it. Using them is a spectacular way to destroy profits.)
I’m not trying to promote my book as much as I’m trying to help people understand the message behind this. If you’re passionate, you can create something amazing that people will actually buy. If you don’t enjoy your project, then you’re already starting off on the wrong foot, so try switching gears and stick to your strengths. There are many Fastlane’s to choose from, so find one that gives you the best chance to succeed—one that you’ll put 110% into.
I’m not in the Fastlane yet, but I know I will be. I refuse to accept failure. Your book has changed my life. Thanks for your message, and hopefully people will realize the true meaning behind your book.
