Good day all. I just finished the book. It was a bittersweet experience that brought both pain and elation.
Some things I have believed were found to be correct. However, many of the 'solid' beliefs I had previously retained were found to be, well, wrong.
I've had to re-evaluate some key points in my belief system, and I was found wanting in more than a few. I had to take a fresh look at both circumstances and people in my past that I previously had judged, and now realize I was wrong in my determination. It was quite sobering.
I had 3 business ideas I had been considering for the last 3 months, and was in analysis paralysis about which was the best to pursue. The book handily solved the issue for me. BAM. Done. Additionally, even though I was working diligently on building, I now realize almost 80% of my effort was wasted as I was focused on the wrong criteria and priority.
A real wake up call. I'm not as young as some of the others (49), and wish I had read the book earlier. But I'm still very fit, very healthy, and very motivated. I have what I had previously thought was a fairly successful career. I was pretty comfortable, but still realized something was missing. I'd dabbled in the past with businesses, but nothing could come close to my IT Security career, so I never really did it right. But some important puzzle pieces fell nicely into place now, and I'll now be executing on a new road.
That road will be a content forum that will be used to drive sales of an ebook. I still have much to figure out and learn, and I know the currents in the ocean may steer me in unexpected directions, but I'm prepared for that. I have a sound ship, a motivated skipper. And I play chess.
Best wishes all. I'll now go back to lurking as I educate myself and start executing on my napkin bullet points.
