I'm on this forum because I am fed up with my 8:30AM-8PM J.O.B. that is making my boss rich and me miserable. I am fed up putting in 60-70 hour weeks working to make someone else rich, whenever I would be happier spending that time growing my own business and making myself rich to reach my goals in life(I'll get to my goals later).
I've read the book and I am sold on the principles of the method. I am currently still employed at my J.O.B. while searching for my Fastlane avenue. I've always been interested in business ownership but MJ's book and my current annoyance at my job have turned what was a small campfire of interest into what is now a raging house fire of escapement.
My wife owns her own photography business that she runs from the home. This business does not bring in much money and is mainly just a way to pay for everyday expenses. I have already sat down with her and discussed how I would like to develop a fastlane idea with her to help run it day-to-day as it grows into something large enough for me to quit my day job.
Thankfully, I do have quite a few months of living expenses saved up, both vehicles are paid for and my only true monthly obligation is my mortgage, insurance, utilities, and food for us two and two dogs.
My ultimate goals by taking the fastlane lifestyle will be to purchase a 1-3000 acre piece of land in a mountainous region like Montana, west Texas, Utah, Colorado, etc to use as a main home, an extended family retreat, and a hunting/camping destination for myself, friends and relatives. I would also like to learn to sail so in the winter months I can escape my mountain home and travel the world in a catamaran. By my estimations I could accomplish this task comfortably with $20-30 million, which is a daunting task to look up to.
So, what next?
