Hello,
I am Joe, 28, and I am from the United Kingdom. I have just started reading The Millionaire Fastlane and I heard about this forum in the early chapters so I thought It would be beneficial to join a what seems to be a thriving community! I hope to make some friends and connections here to grow with.
Now about my current situation, and why I am self proclaimed "badly unique". As I said before I am 28 years old now and I have always lived with my mother. I had athletic/sports dreams when I was younger, but life happens and they were not to be. After finishing school and receiving my A levels I couldn't decide on what university degree to take, so I ultimately ended up not going at all as I was scared of the costs and my level of commitment to something I wasn't ever sure on.
Not knowing what to do in life now, I applied for some jobs that my father said I should go for as he had spoken to people to get me these jobs. He hadn't, I didn't get them. He was never in my life until I was useful, around my teen years. For some reason I spent years and years putting him before myself to get his approval and received nothing but mental abuse and this caused me so question myself every single day, am I not good enough? What more do I have to do? It was only recently - just over 2 years ago now - that I removed him from my life as I see him for who he really is. I must say I do feel much better for it.
Due to basically slaving for my father for all these years and getting nothing but abuse, I have never had a job, it felt like a fulltime job just going along with life. But since he is no longer in my life again I want to grow as a person, I want friends, I want to love someone, I want a purpose that I can be proud of and grow with every single day. I know the situation is so dire that I have never had a job at such an age, but when you're in a bad place like I was, its really difficult to understand yourself and even see anything but your current reality.
I am currently applying for jobs so I can get by, but its proving difficult and I really cannot blame people for not taking me on with my lack of work experience, but it is a bit disheartening. I have tried to learn some skills like coding but my environment is awful to try and learn in, and I am not 100% sure if it is my cup of tea so to say. I do feel I am a person of value and wanting of growth now that I have the burden of my father off of my back. I learn things quickly and I am a good person, but getting someone to give me a role is proving difficult at the moment, especially since I have no connections, but I am not giving up.
Once I have some income coming in I want to be able to open my eyes to the world and what is out there, start educating myself and grow as a person, mentally and financially. I do not yet know what it is that I want to go into, but I am hoping I can make friends here and build relationships of value. We all want similar things, financial freedom, happiness, and love. So where better to go to than here to find like minded people! I look forward to interacting with everyone and my messages are always open to anyone who would like to talk with me.
Thanks for reading my introduction.
Nice to meet you!
Joe
