WHO~ Married mother of one. Crappy marriage stabbed to death by financial woes (not giving up on that either). Daughter of Slowlaner and Sidewalker (Divorced). Totally determined. Honestly, TMF saved my life. I was sinking in an ocean of "positive thinking" (directed at lost women). Knowing that I didn't want "get rich easy" and being told over and over again there's no such thing as "get rich quick". So depressing. I'm eternally grateful this book randomly fell into my lap.
WHERE I WAS BEFORE MFL (1 week ago)~ Depressed. Getting sick once a week. Resentful of my husband and sometimes my daughter. Feeling like NO ONE understands me and quesioning why I can't just get in line behind the worker bees. Looking for another "job". Lazy, sitting on the couch. KNOWING that I was worth more than this but feeling like I was just a waste of space.
WHERE I AM NOW (1 week later)~ It took me 2 days to read MFL. I read until my eyes shut down at 3am and finished the next day over lunch. Since then I've lost 5lbs taking accountability for my life. I've cleaned out my whole house of old crap that's been weighing us down. I've saved $1000 in my savings account that my partner understands is the do not touch unless dying fund. That's up from no savings account and -$37 in our checking account.
I read 2 books since then, 'Awaken the Giant Within' by Tony Robbins and 'The 4-hour workweek' by Timothy Feriss. One I downloaded on audio, the other I checked out at the library to save funds.
I have 2 ideas I'm equally excited about, BOTH aimed at fufiling a need and adding value to people's lives. The first one I have up and running and am dedicating 3 hours a day to it's production (low-cost). The second I'm partnering with my organic SEO specialist husband and we're pooling our resources to figure out how to make it a reality (high-cost). One is doable right now, the other is going to take time but we're determined.
MY GOALS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS (2 weeks post MFL)~ Create one blog post a day (for the queue) for project #1, Read all of the Fastlane Forum GOLD threads, Read one more book (suggestions welcome), Exercise/Meditate in the morning as before, Get ALL ideas down for project #2 to present to resources and collect info for steps we need to take.
Will update progress thread next Wednesday! Thanks for tuning in!
