Hey guys,
First of all, thank all of you for this amazing forum. The value shared here is incredible. Im looking forward to contribute what ever I have. I already joined the forum around 2 weeks ago – and now I finally made it to the introduction part. I will try to keep it short and sweet.
26 years old from Berlin, Germany. I have been floating around aimlessly most of my life, without much ambitions and goals. Somehow happy, somehow always seeking my place in society. Studied some bullshit because I thought its interesting. Well, it wasn't. And it didn't teach me any valuable skills neither. But I didn't care. I had so much free time while studying my Bachelor, but waisted it mostly with mindless activities.
Seneca said: "If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable." That was my problem.
Then, around 2 years ago, while studying in Colombia, something switched in my mind. I bought a Kindle and started reading again. I got hungry for knowledge and started to learn again. I always loved to learn new things, but only in certain areas of my life: Languages and Martial Arts. Now this obsession for improvement manifests in every single area of my life.
The Millionaire Fastlane gave me the last push I needed. The last push in the right direction, because it showed me the importance of action. Thanks MJ. And I took action this year and started freelancing as a copywriter/content marketer. I always had a talent to write. Teachers in school literally tried to drag me to writing-competitions, but me? I didn't give a flying duck. That changed now. I know freelancing is far away from the fastlane, but for me it is an important step. Not only because I never earned that much money in my life, I also always dreamed of having an location-independend income. I reached this goal quicker than expected. And it feels amazing to do this on my own, without a crappy job. I tasted blood and I want more. I want to know how the big juicy fruits of the fastlane taste like!
Right now I'm still studying, which sucks. I want to diversify my income stream and build a second one, wich is not directly interwoven with my time. Like E-Commerce . The only problem: with studying and writing combined, I have little time to invest in new ideas and take action. I feel like I am not moving forward.
Anyways, I study a Master programme of international relations and I have around 0.5 years to go. It's interesting, but nothing I will use for my career. I made up my mind to become an entrepreneur. I know I have the discpline and willpower. Lets go.
P.S. Sorry for the thread title and blame it on Spirit Airlines. They used one like this in their Email-newsletter and I wanted to see if it works here.
