Hi All!
I'm Laura, from Bristol in the UK. I'm currently doing my PhD in Aerospace Engineering which is funded by a large aerospace company. I go and work in the company two days a week and honestly, it horrifies me. I don't want to be stuck there pressing run on programs and then writing a report about it for the rest of my life.
I'm on my second read through of Millionaire Fastlane , highlighting all the important bits, and thought I'd get a lot out of being in the forums.
My hopes for where I want to be are something along the lines of being a stay at home wife/mum while running a couple of online businesses, owning a house (which is about £250k in Bristol ), having a nice car, and having the money to keep my current car going - she's like my child but she needs a lot of work!
I'm currently on Etsy selling in what I think is a pretty ridiculous niche tbh, but I've had a bit of success and I got my first review this morning - 5 stars I've been looking in to dropshipping things for my Etsy shop only to discover that there is only one dropshipper in my niche, and they only do my niche as a sideline to their main products. So that's what I'm looking at doing in the near-ish future while I'm doing my PhD and I'm fully funded. Hopefully this means by the time I finish my PhD I can carry on with the business as it'll be earning enough for me to not start the 9-5 grind.
That's about it from me, hopefully I'll see you around!
