Engineering/Econ Student just starting out

[St.Alpine]

Introduction:

Hi you all, nice to meet you.

This post includes some information about myself and a couple of things about my first business adventures.


Background:

Before college I served my military service and worked and lived in New Zealand and Australia.

I am a 26 year old college student from Germany. I am finishing it right now, beeing in my last semester.
Unfortunatly the college is very small and I look forward to moving to a bigger area when college is done.


"Crush It" Gary Vaynerchuk's book got me thinking about building businesses

I am currently reading MJs book and I just starting out putting things into action. The things I've read in it are like gold.
I've read other books, like,

• "Rich Dad Poor Dad",
• "The Richest Man In Babylon",
• "The Millionaire Next Door",
• "Think And Grow Rich",
• ...,

and took my share of knowledge and mindsets from them.
I am not saying that every book is BS. You just have to find the valid points in them.

I stumbled upon the website of Tracy Tardy some days ago, and found MJs interview there. Having read a couple of recommendations from other people I was instantly hooked, and have not been disappointed so far.

I am also an avid "Dragons Den" and "Shark Tank" follower.

As business people, I admire Brett Wilson, Robert Herjavec and especially Elon Musk.

I come from a middle class background. We've never been rich or poor. But my parents always argued about money. And that is one of the points, why I don't want to be in there shoes later.

I was teached in a "poor dads" manner but I am constantly changing them to a fastlane approach.

Business Interest/Casual Interest:

I like cars and my college major is mechanical engineering . So naturally I am thinking about creating value for a mass of people using my skills in that area.
I like suspension and engine design.

In my free time in college, I work as a suspension engineer in our Formula Student Team. I am calculating, designing and building a unequal lenght A arm suspension system for our racecar.

I am a big sport fanatic as well. I've gone through a 70 days fitness program, designed by a guy in my age and will now start another program.

Travelling sure is one of my passions. Before I started studying, I lived in Australia and New Zealand for a year. It was the greatest time so far and I've noticed that in the anglo-saxon countries, the willingness to created business opportunities is way more up, than in Germany.


Goal:

I think we all have similar goals and mindsets here. Creating a sustainable business to create freedom, health and long-lasting relationships for us.


Actions right now:

Creating a brand around a product and sell it to the mass market.

I had to adjust the post, after finishing MJs book
