I originally joined this forum in 2012 after being inspired by TMF . I posted pretty actively upon joining, but shortly thereafter, I was diagnosed with spinal cord damage. For the next several months, all my attention was consumed by the surgery and rehab. Upon full recovery, a consulting firm (owned by my former supervisor) approached me to work for them as an independent contractor. For the past 3-4 years, I’ve been working for them about 10 hours per week and making about $75k per year (which isn’t too bad, but I’m still trading my time for money, and that’s not Fastlane!).
Anyhow, that whole ordeal made me completely forget about the Fastlane Forum!
But just a couple days ago (on May 24th to be exact), I got an email from MJ announcing his new book UNSCRIPTED . In a flash, all the past memories of my entrepreneurial aspirations came back to me. I immediately ordered the eBook on Amazon. In the past 3 days, I’ve devoured 73% of it (according the Kindle), and I expect to finish the book by tomorrow. I’ve highlighted hundreds of pieces wisdom, and each highlighted sentence is easily worth the price of the whole book!
I consider my current situation to be ideal for implementing entrepreneurial processes. Since I can make a living (albeit barely) off of my 10 hours/week as independent contractor, I have plenty of time leftover.
In fact, I’ve actually been working on a brick & mortar project for the past few months (I wish I had remembered about this Forum back then). We are coming very close to a point of no return, as big financial commitments may soon be made by the stakeholders. The release of UNSCRIPTED was serendipitously timely, and I am already evaluating our proposed business model through the CENTS paradigm (and so far so good!). I will post more on that in the near future once I determine the appropriate forum. I’ll most likely join the INSIDERS Forum and post it there. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions on where best to post.
Cheers!
