On the steps I've taken to make life at past age 40 more meaningful, purposeful. Occasional rants & raves, too. And I've since, then, discovered by being with many teams that I'm taking lead primarily to accomplish goals I've selfishly set for myself and which I constantly & creatively peddle to my teammates LOL

Finished Reading MJ deMarco's "The Millionaire Fastlane," and Continuing the Reading of His Book "Unscripted"
I heard of this book THE MILLIONAIRE FASTLANE (Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime)" from one of the postings in my X (used to be known as Twitter) account, and it turned out to be a fortuitious experience. I have finished reading the book, and have since got his 2 other books, and am currently reading "Uncripted (Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship)." No wonder these books are almost always never mentioned in many book review publications, as they're essentially against the prevailing system that so many of us cater into. Of course, I don't really know if this person actually exists, or it's all part of a scheme to narrate one fantastic sounding story in a book, or two. But, based on what I have read, it's worth having and reading, especially because it has its very unique voice of admonishing you to your senses. As in right now. So you won't be lulled in your current underwhelming existence in your efforts to become rich and create a wealthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. And not be caught up in your own very comfortable bubble of an existence, especially if you're here in the US where admittedly, so many things are taken for granted (so many are just so clueless they're so much in a position of advantage, but that's another topic, probably, for a future blog posting).
I'm 57 years old, and haven't really misspent my life practically doing or accomplishing nothing. What I have read in the books, so far, fortifies what I have been learning and had even heard some of which even from my MBA teachers, thinking, pondering, and working on myself in my life and in my projects. This thing about highlighting process is something what my Logististics Management teacher mentioned over 18 years ago in MBA school -- I even remember his words on the primacy of logistics (you can use any other similar fancy word to fit your taste), and he has been proven right especially during the covid pandemic period. That professor, who's a member of my MBA thesis defense panel, was an executive of an American multinational company dealing with tractors mostly (they're a highly known brand) - and he actually reminds me of what MJ deMarco's description of someone who has chosen to be in that path that many of us are growing so tired of as it's really a slowlane journey to whereever you want to go with your life.
Becoming rich, creating your own wealth via entrepreneurship is a long journey, and never gonna be a one time event, especially for those who decide they're going to be millionaires. It's almost boring a process, honestly. From my own experience. I have not much of a story to tell you except that my life's story is almost regular by most standards, I have way more similarities to most of those I identify myself with. Except that I am gay, married to a Harlem born raised Black disabled man of my age, an immigrant from the Philippines to here in the USA, where I turned 40 years old, and have since become a US citizen. In MJ deMarco's books, you'll find very instructive points to consider in your own life journey especially if you want to be rich. And to be rich fast, and not whiling away your time doing the slow and medium routes. He's lambasting network marketing, those compounding interest schemes in owning shares in the market, being employed and gaining not much from such entrapment. I haven't really paid attention much to using, mimicking, copying MJ de Marco's vocabulary, as I believe it's the thought process that matters. Anyway, I am thankful for the reminders I have gathered from his books to date, which I will note, re-cast in my own vocabulary, and make use with certain particular revisions for my own journey. And so, I invite you to join me too in my journey.
Get hold of the two books, as they're not typically mentioned by many gatekeepers. It's important to read books, as it's very revolutionary act. Write your books, too, when you get the chance, which is going to be a whole process by itself, even if MJ deMarco says writing books is easy (I agree!), but marketing them is actually where the business is. It's by pursuing your own process and path to becoming the next millioinaire using the prescribed fastlane he describes in his books, where you will probably be able to afford to write books (and make millions from them, probably). And then in taking note of the process, and in taking plenty of action based on your reading experience. All the best in your endeavors, whatever they are.
