Hi there!
My name is Alvaro and I am 22 years old. (I am not Mexican but Spanish, so pls no wall jokes haha)
I study third year Electrical and mechanical engineering in Scotland. I have been into self actualisation since I was 17 but I was more focused on the getting girls aspect of it and eventually ended up assisting for the world largest dating company in the world. (RSD) but no worries as Ive read the jimbo jambo stuff from the beginning and I will obviously not post anything related to that, not that Id like to anyway as my interest lie on quite different things now that I have a long term relationship.
As Ive said, Ive read a lot of books on the subject maybe more than 50, specifically oriented towards financial independence, and I would still say Im completely clueless on what to do. I am reading unscripted atm, which has lead me here, and I Ive liked what Ive seen from the forum so far (high quality stuff) and hope I can provide value sometime (because I know thats the most selfish thing to do and it would mean Im already unscripted and financially empowered) down the line the same way I have with girls material to some people.
In any case, in the pick up community if someone is a theory junky and doesn't take action he won't get very far. Im basically, I think, a theory junky in terms of all this stuff but as opposed to game where taking action is so clearly easy as to what to do, just go out, I don't know how to extrapolate this towards business and consistently take action in this realm.
I dread becoming an engineer, but I don't mind finishing the course as it is free and it is somewhat intellectually gratifying and does have some societal recognition and even some practical skills like coding, statistics... and theres also great people Ive meet through my university, which I hope I can meet likeminded individuals on this forum.
I have bought Tai Lopez social media agency and it does provide some concrete steps, but I don't like social media one bit, especially after reading books like the shallows or deep work.
Im also curios as what the author has to say on hitting the gym and health (nutrition), maybe he has a chapter and I still haven't reached it... but I have not found anything very good apart from Body by science, 150 healthiest foods, ultramind solution... and those books don't say anything on bro science strength training which is what I do now and which has provided the best results. Like hitting macros and lifting heavy. He has mentioned something on ligaments and that scared me somewhat as I also lift heavy and don't want to get more injured than I am. But this is probs not the right place for this.
Anyhow, my self esteem is very high because I have achieved personal objectives I hold very dear to what constitutes whom I am, Im even also writing a book, but in terms of business my self esteem suffers dearly as I have not been able to implement and focus enough to succeed to the point where some people now make fun of me for being that person that speaks and then never takes action.
I don't mind working hard, I mean thats what Ive been doing so far but not sure what exactly to do. I have a few friends that are making a good living from amazon Fba and even SEO, who could and have helped out. But I think I need a mentor who I can spend time with and learn this stuff. Its a bit of a shame bc some of my family members are very rich business owners with physical business employing more than 300 people but they just want me to follow the beaten path, become an engineer and then just work for them, which I would probs make money from, but wouldn't teach me how to be a boss and wouldn't be free.
Well, that was way longer than I had intended, so thanks for reading so far and do hit me up.
