I see a ton of posts on this Forum from people pointing and laughing at Slowlaners and Sidewalkers because they haven't "Seen the light."
I used to do this too...
When I lived in Charlotte, NC, I'd ride the train to my mind-numbing financial analyst job in the Hearst Tower.
I'd be reading 4 Hour Work Week or something and smirk at those "morons" around me who simply listened to music or were reading some fantasy fiction book.
"Pfft...You're wasting your time..." I'd say to myself. I'd even try and force my wife to read some of the books to help her 'see the light.'
Guess what?
I was making $0 in any sort of business, but there I was all high-and-mighty. This went on for 4 years. $0 in any sort of business, but still I thought I was "better" than thou.
Here's the harsh, brutal truth...and I'm telling you this to help you...but you won't like it:
But...you're really not until you take action.
All these people you think are 'idiots' have BIG IDEAS for the next Facebook too. But, they don't take action on it.
If you're not taking action...you're the exact same.

Today, I don't give a $%&# which path my friends, family or neighbor follow: Sidewalk, Slowlane, Fastlane.
I listen and learn something from all three. Even the Sidewalkers.
Learn from these people...listen...and soon you'll stop spending all your time judging others and actually take action.
That's what happened to me.

Unless you work for yourself or have a business that's actually making decent money...you are absolutely NO DIFFERENT than any of these folks.
Sure, it feels great to think you're different than the 'un-enlightened.'
But...you're really not until you take action.

KEY: Everyone doesn't want to start a business. Some people enjoy another person sweating over the 'past due' notice on the accounts payable. Just like some people enjoy taking out your trash.
