Hello everyone,
I am 23 years old and although I have read other books on similar topic, this was THE book.
I have recently finished attending university and I don't consider it lost time, because I got some valuable experiences, but crap education. The department I attended was statistics and probabilities and although it had some great concepts, they were lost in the sea of technical mathematics.
I have like 6 months or so, since I totally gave up the option to go get a Master, a job and all this stuff. I live in Greece and there is plenty of proof around that the slowlane model is the worst possible. I believe it is worse than sidewalking. I remember this country before crisis. Everything "seemed" to go pretty cool, a lot of people seemed to be in the middle-class, there were money around, people were working and getting paid 4-5 figures in salaries and all SEEMED good. Then recession proved that things we didn't consider like getting laid off, market crashing, jobs going obsolete (let's not forget the spending more than you earn principle) and pretty much everything that MJ mentions in his book, happened and proved the system for what it is. Pure manipulation. Anyway, I don't like working for a salary instead of at least a commission.
So, now I am focusing on Internet Marketing because I liked it and at the moment I am educating myself. I have earned a small active income as a freelancer (just to know that I can if needed) and a ridiculously small passive income from ads. Principles are good, but numbers need some zeros! I am confident that soon I will be able to life these numbers. Nothing to show off, really....
I am glad to be here!
