Dear community,



Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this inner circle! I really appreciate it and look forward to the exchange!


Let's keep it short.


First of all, I would like to thank you, MJ, for your honesty in your books... I find it admirable, and that makes me support this forum and all the projects you have in the future even more. I would have paid $500 for it because, to be honest. Thank you very much




Now a little about me:
My name is Gerrit, and I've recently turned 21! After school, I got a middle school diploma here in Germany! Did I go straight into the military when I was 16? I wanted to do something other than a normal job... But I quickly realized that that wasn't what really moved me. Of course, it meant a lot to me to help people and do something good for them. That's also the reason why I joined the military... But I can do that with my own future company too! I am currently fighting to be discharged from the military because unfortunately I have an eight-year contract and four years have passed - obviously through a lawyer... Welcome to the system. We want freedom because we want to enjoy our lives, because we want to have the lifestyle that is meant for us, that we have earned, that we can get... but they want to slow us down - and I am very grateful for that because I have learned a lot from it!


My commitment/remit is:

Making a bigger impact on the people around me is my mission in life.

I'm going to move towards team management consulting and build a real company out of it and then of course sell it

Personally, I would like to have four children. I am a very family-oriented person, and I want to be able to offer them something, but also myself and those around me. I love sharing success, and I also want a Lamborghini, or rather 34 of them, in the garage. For me, freedom simply means having time to enjoy life the way you want, whether I'm getting on a private jet tomorrow or studying in my office. For me, that's freedom, whether I'm with the children or just going for a walk. It's the most beautiful thing I can imagine, and of course you need a money tree for that.


Do you know what it's like when the people around you who don't understand what you're really made of say you can't have both, either health or money? Of course, you can have both. If you work hard for it, you can do it!


I know it's always a process to transform a negative mindset into a positive one. But I love being a positive person, allowing emotions, learning from them and then moving forward. That's what really moves us forward in life and what we can be grateful for!





To MJ

Wow, after the first six pages of the book Millionaire Fastline, the emotions came across really well. I've read a lot of books, but never such an honest one, which means a lot to me, which is why I'm happy to support you from the bottom of my heart...
Your humor is really great...

Finally, I'd like to know one thing, dear MJ, as I'm now part of your money tree... I'd be interested to know which celebration my contribution will count towards when you've reached your goal for the next level on the money tree. The next Lamborghini would be boring. What about a Bentley, or are you already thinking about a private jet?
Or would you rather meet someone at Times Square? (I'm just joking)





Thank you for letting me be here, and I wish you lots of success from the bottom of my heart. I'm looking forward to everything that's to come and hope that everyone can support each other as best they can. Thank you.





If you are ever in Germany or someone from the community, you are cordially invited to a six-dollar Starbucks coffee :)



I'm happy that things are now going in the right direction.
Let's stay aligned with our commitment.





Cheers
Gerrit

Gerrit,

Thanks for the awesome intro, great to have ya.

My core priority right now is health and longevity, living long and being active well into my 80s 90s.

So your contribution helps me pursue me live a longer life - while I'm not as fanatical (yet) as Bryan Johnson, it is THE #1 thing in my life.

Entrepreneurship and material things are second ... don't have any desires for any fast cars or things like that right now.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum! I've found the book "5 dysfunctions of a team", by Patrick Lencioni, to be an invaluable resource for building teams. It's also written as a fable so it's easy and fun to read. Hope it helps!
I'm going to move towards team management consulting

Sooner or later, we all find an urge to serve others.
it meant a lot to me to help people and do something good for them.

Friendly burn: Nothing stops you from mailing a check.
I would have paid $500 for it because, to be honest.
