Hi folks. I´m 55, male and live in the South of Germany. I need help. Short story:
Due to familiar problems I made many mistakes. I left my parents with 18 and never went back. They did not know what I was doing or where I lived.
So, in my 20s I live just for having fun.
Later I choose the wrong friends and partners, still looking for having a good time.No thoughts about the consequence. The years go by...
I marry the wrong woman, have lots of debt after the divorce, but manage to pay back everything.
Some years pass, I work 9 to 5 and do not know what I want and why I keep doing shit.
I marry a 2nd time. Again, wrong partner and a divorce. In addition to this, I have a small business which goes down with it. Lots of debt follow. And still, I manage to pay for it, it takes about 4 years of saving and 9 to 5 work.
By that time I´m 53. I have friends, good casual sex and no problems with my body. In my spare time i work on historic cars in my garage. Everyone who knows me thinks I´m the lucky guy. But my soul is crying.
I´m terrified about the future, since I have nothing but a boring job. No house, no savings. No plan at all. And I know that it´s not getting better by chance.
I dig deep and realize that something must be done immediately.
I go for a psychological appointment, which is two days and quite expensive. But I have to go. It is some kind of light hypnosis combined with family constellations. It absolutely works. For the first time in my life I understand why I could not live happy and make plans so far.
The following week I visit my parents and my two sisters - the first time after more than 30 years.
It is the most beautiful thing in my life. I am blessed. My familiy is happy as can be.
Since then everything has changed for the better. I met a loving woman, I can focus and make plans for the future.
Which is why I join in here.
I have three questions. Some thoughts on these would be great.
1. I had a business (computer training for elderly people) which did quite good from the beginning. It was a side job, I worked full time. It was 5 years.
But because of the divorce I could not keep it. I had a business house with my spouse, she was also working there (in a different business) and we combined the income of both.
Now I´m thinking of doing the training thing again, as a side job first, because I work full time in a boring but good paid job. Chances are good where I live, already been asked by some people about it.
How could I possibly scale this business? I am successful not least because of my attitude and personality (I am honest and loyal), which goes great with elderly people. But I can only work so much hours and since I read TMF I am no longer sure whether I should go for this business model.
2. I have many years experience in nutrition and diet, together with a steady interest in training and fitness. I am in definitely good shape, healthy and want to get better without being fanatical about it.
And I am quite experienced with sex, women and social skills. No bragging. I can definitely help people who have problems in this area of life.
In addition to that I always liked to write and read a lot. So I am looking at selfpublishing too, even when it goes against the CENTS commandments in some ways.
3. Is there any possibilty to melt these personal qualities into one (fastlane) business model? (that´s what i would prefer)
Or should I aim for just one of these? At the moment have no clue about where to start. I just know I will do it no matter what. I just have to.
My goal this year: I want to quit the 9 to 5 no later then the end of the year and with my own business make enough money to live as a starter. Nothing spectacular, but will be a huge step for me.
