Hello everyone! Obviously new so here is a little about me...
I graduated college (chemical engineer) and got a job working offshore in Norway, then Scotland. Pretty much the antithesis of freedom! Got married, had my first child, and realized I can't go back to that type of lifestyle because I don't want to miss anything with her, so I went back to school and got my master's (petroleum engineering this time). That was a mistake, but at least it taught me how much I can accomplish at night while kids are sleeping!
Anyway fast forward to now, my daughter is 4 and I have a 2-year-old as well. Last summer I read MFL and it changed my life. I had caught the entrepreneur bug (mainly because I didn't want to do anything that would sacrifice my precious time with my kids and couldn't bear to get another engineering job) but my ideas still involved trading time for money. Anyway, after I read the book I started a blog (no readers), launched my first product (I sell a lot, but just breaking even currently) and learned to code to some extent. Now I'm thinking about buying a business in a similar market and hoping I can find some other people who've discussed whether that's a good idea or not! Looking forward to becoming part of this community!
