WHO I AM
Great to be here.
My name is Matt. I'm British. I live in Italy.
WHY I'M HERE
'The Millionaire Fastlane ' shifted my vision. It put into words (clear, lucid, actionable words) the vague notions I had of the alternative to the mediocrity of 'average' existence.
WHAT I DID
I've been self-employed all my life. I sold Italian shoes to clients halfway across the globe. I've worked as a journalist, a screenwriter (optioned, not produced) an event organizer.
The companies and institutions I've worked with are huge. You'd know them. Yet, I have little to show for it, financially. I've walked the Sidewalk. This needs to change.
WHAT I DO
Today, I make a living writing copy. Freelance. One major client, an international agency, has me booked 90% of the time. The rest is spent with smaller clients, planning a fastlane business, reading, writing, and being a father.
WHAT I WANT
The other day, my major client accidentally cc'd me in an email. In it, was a detailed breakdown of their fees. My copy is being re-sold at five times what I charge this agency. If I could tell you who they're selling my copy to, you wouldn't believe it. You'd think I must already be rich.
They are Fastlane. I'm pumping gas, at best.
I want a business (my own business) that can allow me and my family to live comfortably. Heck, live luxuriously. It needn't be copywriting. In fact, it likely won't.
Wherever I'm headed, this forum and @MJ DeMarco 's books are a great place to start.
