Hey Guys.
I'm a 17 y/o (soon to be 18) kid from India. Failed my high school and not planning to go back anytime soon so I have a lot of time on my hands.
Read the Fastlane a couple months ago and it really resonated with me. Also, I belong from a middle class family, definitely not rich, so you know the environment and the mindset I am coming from.
I have no experience in anything whatsoever but I am super focused (sold my phone and Playstation because they are distracting focused) and absolutely positive that the entrepreneurial road is the one I want to take. The only way I can earn some money (after 18 because of country laws) using my current knowledge is by trading stocks which I learned how to do a while ago.
Been a typical "mental masturbator" for a pretty long time so I want to take action rn, only I am not sure what to do and where to get started.
I am lucky in a way as I have no debt, I am starting out pretty young, I have no parental pressure and I have a lot of free time. So I obviously wanna take full advantage of the opportunity I have and not regret it afterwards that I let it slide.
My main reason for joining this forum, just like everyone else, is to learn from like-minded people who are ahead of the game.
My goal for now is just to get started doing stuff, open up a business and all. Money is not the priority at the moment but gaining some decent "real life" business experience is. As for the long-term financial goal, it is simply to retire by mid-late 20s with a couple million in the bank and then live off the interest. I am aware it's not easy but I think it feasible and not too outlandish.
Any advice for me is appreciated, thanks for taking the time
