Hi Everyone,
I've been debating for a while whether to join this forum, and after much thought, I finally decided to take the leap. A few months ago, after the birth of my twins, I read The Millionaire Fastlane , but instead of taking immediate action, I found myself stuck in deep reflection—ruminating on the life I had built and how I could possibly escape it to truly be present for my children.
That period of rumination led me to Unscripted , and even though I’m not even halfway through the book, I knew it was time to join this community. I recently took multiple days off work just to process everything, and now that I’m supposed to return, I realize—I don’t know how I can do it anymore. It doesn’t seem worth it. The cost feels far greater than the reward.
Work-wise, I’m in a relatively fortunate position compared to most. As an IT Rotational Analyst, I rotate through four different teams—some highly technical, others more business-oriented—before ultimately choosing where to land in the organization. I’m learning a lot, but for what? A paycheck that costs me my time, freedom, and presence in my children’s lives?
I’ve decided that now is the time to take control. I’m committing to transitioning into entrepreneurship, and I’m excited to learn, grow, and take action as so many of you have done.
For anyone that feels up to it, I have three questions:

For anyone that feels up to it, I have three questions:
- For those who have made the transition from a job to the Fastlane, what was your biggest challenge, and how did you overcome it?
- If you were in my shoes—balancing work, family, and the desire for entrepreneurship—what would be your first steps?
- What’s one piece of advice you wish you had known when starting your Fastlane journey?
