Hi there, I’m Norman, 36. Got to know about MJ DeMarco’s amazing books recently, it is definitely eye-opening.
Growing up in poverty family leads me to live frugal from young. Parent seldom home, canned food and instant noodle is my daily meal. Got a few health issues because of that. My FTE moment would be when my grandma’s passing. Realised that I wasted my youth hanging out with toxic people, seldom visit to my grandma is one of my biggest regret. So I have decided to change my environment, rebuild my life and spend time with family. After 5 years of new lifestyle, saved up a little and start thinking about building my business. Tried freelancing video editor, automobile dealership, forex trading, stock investment and F&B business but failed badly and got into debt. I bite the bullet, got a job to pay off debt, thinking might be because I am uneducated (My parent is unable to pay for my school fee, so I had only secondary school education). Got my business degree in 2 years, pick up software skills along the way, welcoming a newborn, planning to move house. Feeling drowsy and weary is normal, since I slept less than 6hours daily. Until I was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. My wife is devastated. Specialist doctor recommended chemo treatment ASAP. And thankfully, I recovered and finished my treatment few months back. Moving forward, I am planning to migrate to Portugal, better environment for my family and private education for my son. Working towards building a fastlane business in 3 years and retire being a full time parent and helping entrepreneurs for the rest of the time. Apologise for my bad writing. I am humbled if you finished reading my story and greatly appreciate any feedback in any way I can improve or provide value to anyone.
Thank you,
Norman Lau
