First, I'll address the lunch comment. I've made more personal and professional progress in the last year buy reaching out to strangers and buying them lunch, than in the first 29 years of my life. (I'm 30) It's how I got my current job as CTO of a tiny internet company with exactly zero experience in programming. So if anyone in this forum is in Minnesota's Twin Cities Metro area, I would love to buy you lunch.
I am 3/4 the way through The Millionaire Fastlane . It's, obviously, a great book. Many of the comments and themes are old news to me, but MJ's perspective helps to cement them in my mind, as well as light a fire under my butt. I read Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was 22 and it motivated me to buy my first rental property ASAP I bought that rental when I was 23. It was a terrible investment which netted me (considering all expenses and income) $1.2k over the 6 years I owned. Many great lessons were learned. I now own different rental that (so far) is cashflow positive at $6k per year. (little potatoes)
To make this intro short (as I'm using up your valuable time) I have been a wantrepreneur since I read R.D.P.D. and when I finished my time in the Air Force in 2009 I was rip-roaring and ready to start my own company. I just can't find a niche to dive into. I'm an obsessive person, when I find something I like I go all in. When I found that I'd gained weight after getting out of the service I obsessed over getting fit and went from 210 chubby to 165 lean to (currently) 180 and (to borrow my friends' term) jacked as hell.
So I'm looking for opportunity. I'm looking for something to dive into. Something to improve peoples' lives in exchange for payment. So what frustrates you guys? How can I benefit you or your friends? What can I do for you?
Thanks
