While I can see, that here i are a lot of fully grown entrepreneurs in the forum, i am just at the starting phase of my business. After college and traveling i was already thinking about doing my own thing by creating a business, but...

My father and surroundings told me since childhood that i am a very introverted and sensitive guy and later on that i don't have the qualities needed to be a successfull entrepreneur (like being very communicative, a leader, confident etc.)
That is also why my father convinced me to become a policemen, cause i have a secure income, pension and clear instructions to cope with.

Experiencing the policemen work lifestyle i soon figured that is not where i wanna be, because i am a very freedom and independence loving person not being bound to a hierarchic system for the rest of my life. So i decided to quit the policeman job and starting my journey to create my own business.

I was also very fascinated about sports and acrobatic skill, which is why 5 years ago i decided to become a passionate handbalancer. I've spent 3 years of daily practice (minimum 2 hours) to learn how to do a one arm Handstand and to improve handstands in general by also improving my knowledge and working with coaches.

That is why after quitting my job as a policeman i started to study sportmanagement and to simultaniously start my "Handstand"-business. I am now at the very start of the creation, which is why i am very grateful to read the book "The Millionaire Fastlane " at my age of 24 now and being able to connect with likeminded people in this forum.

Wish you all the best!
Daniel
