Fenix79

Quick Background: Just turned 40, Grew Up in Chicago, but Lived in Florida since 1996. Currently work in transportation and logistics as my "JOB."

From the time I was little until this very moment I've always been someone with big dreams, drive to be wildly successful.
Unfortunately, while well intentioned I have not achieved these dreams because of a flawed financial mindset and less than ideal choices.

Then something happened...

In November a few weeks before Thanksgiving without warning I woke up one day and was in extreme pain.

1 Week Later I was having surgery to remove potentially tumorous part of my body.
1 Week after that diagnosed with aggressive form of Testicular Cancer

This was completely out of nowhere as I was seemingly healthy.

At first being diagnosed was scary, frustrating and bewildering. But ultimately it's become a blessing. The next 9-10 months I would have several surgeries/procedures, Chemotherapy and spend more time than anyone would care to in hospitals. This gave me a lot of time for reflection as well as evaluating my life. A powerful realization came to me that this was life telling me something had to change. I've been unhappy a long time with my work and wanting to build my own company. Then recently I found and read "the Millionaire Fastlane."

This book has helped me realize why this has happened and how moving forward I can change my life. I'm not sure my exact path but now each day I'm working on developing new ideas, myself as well as trying to surround myself with like minded individuals (something new). That's why I joined this forum.

I'm very excited to see what he future holds and to meet all of you. Thank you!
