Hello everyone,
I'm 30 years old, from Winnipeg and I've been living the slow lane lifestyle until now and believing in it because that's all I was ever taught. Basically I graduated high school, took a year off to pump gas, went to college and graduated with a 2 year diploma in Computer Programming, couldn't find a related job so worked several other low paying jobs and then four years later decided enough was enough and headed to the oil field where the big money was!
While that was certainly a huge income boost and allowed me to save over $100,000 in a few years, it is most certainly nothing more than a means to an end in my opinion. The most important thing that has come from it is that saving that money has allowed me to take a year off and build my own house and it really gave me a sense of freedom. That feeling of being in control is something that I've now gotten used to and has really pushed me in the entrepreneurial direction.
I'm again working in oil field and spending far too much time away from home, but the job is extremely easy and I have literally 14 hours a day to study and think about my fast lane business. I completely agree with MJ regarding education as I've learned far more in the past 8 years since college than I did in 14 years of formal education!
My plan is to sell the house, which far exceeded our budget and then free up the money to keep myself flexible and give me time to really focus on starting something new and exciting with a focus of helping others. I've been extremely inspired by Millionaire Fastlane and it's really changed the way I look at business. Hopefully we can all continue our Fastlane education through exchanging valuable information on these forums!
