Hey everyone. I am 10 minutes into the forum, so that's pretty fresh I guess. I've been on a journey of growth and financial education for the past couple of years, while juggling all life throws at me with two small children. Every spare moment I am absorbing everything I can that brings clarity into my life as far as money is concerned. I've had gone through all the big name money gurus with their books and YT videos, and I take a little from here and a little from there, like a jig-saw puzzle I am composing in my mind.
Then, something magical happened and I found a video on The Millionaire Fastlane ..and I felt like I finally found the whole package. MJ was verbalizing the notions and thoughts that have believed in for years and years, yet couldn't really find anyone that could get me. Everyone is too brainwashed by the system or beat down from the grind of work and schedules and kids and commitments..of playing it safe.
My husband is a very hard-working man, gone 6 days a week. Up at the crack of dawn. Comes home late and he's tired and stressed from traffic and hours of physical labor (he does contracting)..Shower, dinner, some tv...sleep, repeat. This is not the way we were meant to live. This is 1800's mentality where hard work meant you could get ahead..yes.
He does make decent money but the trade-off is not worth it!! So I have been on this mission to crack the code to a better life. A great one. One where you go to sleep happy and you wake up happy. Where you are not tied down by punching in, or contracts or deadlines or schedules, and you actually have TIME for the people, things and activities you love.
I've started in what I found to be a good place for me as a stay at home mom with limited time: e-commerce, but have had different ideas ( out of which two inventions that I want to patent) float through my mind that I never really gave much thought to. I did call a lawyer and get a consultation on intellectual property, but then left it at that, focusing on my website.
I would bring it up the patent ideas up my husband, unfortunately the ones closest to you sometimes are the ones that just don't share your vision..and he would suggest I just get into legal work since I do quite a bit in that field for friends and family and have knack for it. So it made me feel he didn't believe in my dreams or ideas or potential.
Back to the daily routine I would go and things would just sit on "pause"..Again, coming across MJ DeMarco, I just started watching everything he had on YT, ordered the books from Amazon, am half-way through Fastlane. I don't have much free time, but when I do, I make it count.
I have found what I feel is my Home, intellectually. My journey is not a fast-paced one as my children are my focus round the clock, my youngest still wakes me 3,4 times every night...but I know where I am going. A have a clear vision as to what I want to achieve, where I want to go and who I want to be in life. I know what ideas I want to pursue, and what avenues I will create to generate money for me. I know I will get there and I am thrilled to be on this forum with like-minded individuals that can see through society's BS. Cheers!
