Dear fellow members,

Thank you for reading this. It's really hard for me to introduce myself. Just because I don't feel worthy of being here. And I have that voice in my head that says: "oh, you should already know this stuff, because you've read about it." But let's do it anyway!

My name is Marek and I am from The Netherlands - Europe. Currently I am 23 years old and live with my parents. My first plan is to move out of the house, because I'm sick of all the "you can't do this"-talk.

Actually I had a really good childhood. Everything was there if I needed it. A new iPod if I wanted. Three times per year on vacation. To USA, Asia, Australia, skiing in Austria. My parents gave me everything I needed, and wanted.

But ofcourse, you can guess... now I have to do it by my own. And that's a very big struggle for me. Luckily five years ago I began to question myself some things. Why can I not get the girl I want. It started with those type of questions. My dad wasn't the right person to ask, so I began to search on the Internet. From that moment I read everything about womens, dating, personal development, selfimprovement, etc.

Soon I realized it wasn't my skills with women, that wasn't the problem. It was the problem with my self-image. So again I started to read out books, watched video's, listen to podcasts. I even went to a seminar of Tony Robbins. But nothing changed, only my hunger did. And I believe that's a good thing.

When I look to some aspects of my life. I hate it. I don't like the people I am with. I have stupid friends, with a stupid mindset. My diet is way to bad. I have no F*cking source of income. And I don't know where to start. I will suggest myself: "at the beginning of course." But where is the beginning? And the best of all. I made an agreement with my parents that I abondan the house on October the 1st.

But I feel like trapped. How do I get a house if I don't have a source of income? How do I start any business if I am surrounded with people that say it can't be done, that I need to find a job? Of course, what most scares me, is that I start a business and it doesn't work, and my parents will say: "see, it didn't worked, just as we told you."

But F*ck to that, I still started a business. It's not a passive business. I'm bootstrapping Books and Bikes now. Inspired by this thread, I started my own "business". I've done some bootstrapping before with bikes. And I made some small profit out of it. But it ended up with a fight with my parents about storage. So I decided to rent a box in town, where I can store some bikes.

The second day I already sold my first bike. I bought it for €125 and sold it next day for €250. That really gave me a kick! I made my "first money". So I continue to do this. And will get to pay my rent from it. But it won't last of course, because it's not passive. How can I make it passive?

I now live in Hilversum, a small town near Amsterdam, about 20mi. I want to move to Amsterdam. Because it is more internationally focussed and there is more business going on. Even for bootstrapping stuff.

My goals are:
  1. Financially free before 30
  2. Helping others finding their passion. In some sort of coaching/seminar/training form.
  3. Having that beautiful house.
  4. Be able to travel freely to the United States (without restrictions)
  5. That specific car for my family, wife and me.
  6. Having a family with that gorgeous wife
It is good to write them down here. I feel like when I do that at home, my parents will think I am crazy. They once said before.

What I am discovering now, is to think for myself. I don't know exactly how, but it's giving me some sort of freedom. For example. "I want to go again to Tony Robbins. I have this feeling that he is the guy that is going to help me. I really have the feeling that I need it. But now I am discovering that, though it is still worthy to go, I don't really need it." I still want to go, but it's not neccesairy anymore. Instead of that I signed up for a Toastmasters meeting.

I know I have some blindspots, and some of them are probably really huge (and I don't notice them). So that's why I am here. To uncover my blindspots and moving forward to my goals. And I really hope, no I am really going to do my best to ask the right questions and to ask for the right help. That's what most scares me. And I really need your help for this. Just say it to me when I am wrong. Not if you are a sidewalker/slowlaner of course. We need to develop our mindset and skills. And that is only possible, as far as I believe, to do it together. So please comment, comment, comment, that's how I learn!

Thank you for reading.

Best wishes,

Marek
