Hi to all.
My name is Thomas, I'm 34 years old and I live near Bruges, Belgium.
I have a bachelor degree in tech and worked as a system administrator ever since.
Last year I gave up my J.O.B. and started working as a freelancer doing long-term contracts at one location (> 6 months).
It started of exciting but soon gave me the feeling (or as I call it now, my FTE) I was just an employee sending invoices.
At the start of this year I read MJ's books and decided to stop trading my time for money and setup a proper CENTS-compliant system where I could apply my job experience.
Despite being motivated to get cracking I guess I ended up with a serious case of analysis paralysis and can't seem to find a proper idea to get started.
More and more I get the feeling that all the technical knowledge from my system administration job can only be sold by the hour and I am losing motivation.
If anyone passing by could give me some advice from a 3rd person perspective that would be great and much appreciated.
Anyhow, this is me. Nice to meet everyone. Hope I can find some great inspiration here.
