I am feeling ashamed and unlucky that I have done so many businesses in the last 1.5 decades but all were following a slowlane. I am so unlucky that I got to know about MJ's TMF and other books just last year through a YouTube video.

I am 40 years old and from the Cayman Islands. I have started many businesses, closed many (without selling), and continued my oldest one till now without having a huge success. I know my mistakes and the biggest one was having so many ideas, and then working on those ideas and keeping the main business into slowlane like a day job.

I will create a thread soon about what businesses I have done in the past and how am I going to follow TMF principles to do the next big thing to impact many.

I don't know if I am too late to start. I am 40.
