Hello all, recently found The Millionaire Fastlane and it really gave me a kick up the backside.
I have worked in IT for many years now, primarily as a consultant in various roles, but I also have managerial experience in the field. I have drifted a bit between various roles in search of that feeling of fulfilment and quite frankly, joy. My latest foray is into project management. All of these different paths I've tried have always led me to the exact same place am now; the final week of my annual vacation period, and I truly feel that deep sense of FT combined with what could best be described as some sort of anxiety over returning to the coal mine. It's been the same every yea, but this year, The Millionaire Fastlane really put those feelings into words, and also showed me a glimpse of what can be.
I want to pursue the entrepreneurial urges I have had for so many years, and building a company from the ground up into something that could sustain me and help me realize my dreams is exactly that. It is time to make that change. I am a driven person, someone that has the ability to work extremely hard to achieve my goals and find success, but the hustle of the 9-5 has completely drained that energy from me. Looking at how much energy I had to put in to essentially fulfil someone else's (the owners of the company in this case) dreams has left me disillusioned and tired, and more importantly, de-motivated. I want to work for me, and making my life as good as it can be. I want to be able to realize my dream of owning a small airplane. I am in the process of getting my license, and looking at how hard and long I had to work a salaried job to get the money to do that horrified me. "There has to be a better way?" And here I am.
What do I want to do? Well, whatever it takes to find that idea that can make me realize the dream. Wholesale appeals to me, IT does not, especially not consulting services. And this is the issue I wrestle with now. Finding the areas to research, getting to find that product that is marketable and sellable, digging into the market demand and ways to promote my business. This is all new, even if I have some experience to fall back on from my current field. I will find something, I have to! It's too much of an opportunity to not try to join The Millionaire Fastlane . I'd be insane not to.
Only question is; doing what?
Looking forward to learning from you all.
Thanks for reading
