Hello Fast Lane'ers.
A little bit about myself. I am a wannabe entrepreneur currently developing a startup. I still work a full time job while this is going on. I work full time as a Systems Admin at a MSP in Boston. I have been doing IT for about 8 years, 4 of which have been in an enterprise environment.
In the last year, Feb 2015- Present, I have read:
The Lean Startup
The Entrepeneur Mindset
E-Myth Revisited
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Shark Tank Jump Start your Business
Zero To One: Notes on Startups
Entrepeneur Rollercoaster
The 4 hour workweek
And finally...
The millionaire fastlane .
I became serious about starting my own business when I came back from oversea's with $20K (Yes, $20,000 in the bank) and felt the only way to triple, quadruple, and even increase it beyond that, was to start a business and release me from the shackles of a job.
$22,000 later and my startup is still in development a year later. Am I sad? Nope. Could I have used that money for other things? Sure. Do I regret it? Not a bit.
Only thing I would go back in time to tell myself to do when I had that cash is: "read all the books listed above before you start a startup".
Anyways, I am here because out of all those forums for the other books, I feel this one will be the most beneficial to my growth. I want to escape the rat races like everyone else, and 'make it'.
I know that it's a long journey ahead, and I am excited about it. The only thing that will stop me, is myself. Which is why I am here. I am looking to connect with like minded individuals, hopeful mentors, and becoming an active member myself.
If anyone is in the MA/Boston area, please feel free to shoot me a PM, I'd love to chat and share what small experience I have.
Anyways, here's to the best.
