Hey fastlaners, brand new to the forum here and just finished reading TMF for the first time. I feel like I just woke up from a 28 year nap in which my dreams consisted of lies and leading me to mediocrity. I'm sure a lot of you felt a similar way after reading for the first time. That being said my mindset is forever changed after reading this book.

Small bit about myself:
  • 28 years old
  • Have worked in the electric utility industry for 7 years as a lineman (work on power lines)
  • Regularly work 50-90 hour weeks which is killing me for obvious reasons
  • My job attacks my personal life, relationships, health and personal interests
  • I no longer want to subscribe to the idea that I can enjoy my life at 55
I have no college degree, all my schooling has been focused to my current job so most of my skills are industry focused at this time but I am hell bent on learning more.

What I'm asking of those of you that read this is where should I start? I'm willing to put in the work to achieve the life I want. What skills, books, forums should I read and learn to set me on this path? How have you all implemented @MJ DeMarco fastlane mentality into your own lives? What are the things you focused on the most? Anything helps and thanks in advance!

-Jay
