Hi. My name is Joe Steiner. I am 33 years old and a Firefighter in Staten Island N.Y. I am married with a child. A part of me has always been drawn to business. At one point in my life I worked on Wall St. as a liscensed retail stock broker. To say the least I did not become a millionaire. My heart mind and body were there but I realize now that I was plugging in to the wrong outlet. I worked hard for others and myself toward the end but could not find success. Throughout my lifetime I have had good ideas I think at least but have never acted on them. A couple of them I actually have seen commercials for at some time interval of my life. Depressing right? There was something though that I took from Wall St. and it wasn't at work but rather on the commute. While commuting to and from work me and my friend acted as if we had made it but that was the furthest thing from the truth. The funniest part was that people actually didn't even question it. There was something a signal almost that me and my friend would use to communicate to each other in certain situations. At that time I did not think anything of it as it was considered normalcy to me and my friend. Around that time I had gone to my friends mother who was a "Psychic" to get read due to my childlike curiosity. One of the only things that I remember was when I asked her the question of what should I be doing with my life? Specifically career wise. She replied that I was supposed to be a designer. She mentioned dresses and belts. I said to myself wtf. But around that time something strange happened. I was shopping for our annual family vacation to Florida at JC Penny. I was in the mens section looking at clothes but something happened I started to ask myself what can be improved or done better. Certain items of clothing jumped out at me and I realized that the signal that me and my friend would do could be incorporated into clothes. So I called the only person in the world I thought could help me my cousin. For as long as I can remember my cousin was a freelance artist. Well it turns out that she is now a logo designer and has done work for Disney and Calvin Klein. She went to work with the ideas and developed a logo. One of my friends who also was a Firefighter developed a board game based on World War II and had contacts with Patenting and Trademarking. Then another Firefighter friend of mine's wife turns out to be a clothing designer. Sounds like i'm batting 1000 Right? Nope. I was stuck in the slowlane doing 55 with a partner who did not have the same passion and a wife who is more concerned with whether I would fail or not. I gave up on my dream.
A few months ago a friend of mine you know him as LikWid24 gave me a book entiled "The Millionaire Fastlane " by some MJ DeMarco fellow.LOL. I have not read a book in years but I decided to read this one. I am not the fastest reader so I read a couple of chapters a day. As I read the book I fell in love with it. I said to myself maybe i'm not crazy for thinking the way that I do. This Gentleman is self made and he does not think like everyone. I finished the book and felt alive and did not want to waste anymore of my valuable time. I immediately went into the closet where I had my sketches, hard disks and logo sheets. I opened up the envelope and pulled out the sheet looked at the top right corner and it read June 19,2009. My jaw dropped in discontent. Three years had passed. I met with my potential partner and gave him a logo sheet and shared my passion and drive. Days of not answering texts and calls passed and I sent a text to him stating wouldn't you want the freedom that wealth can provide. He answered me I don't. I'm a stay at home dad who works full time. Typical slowlaner. So now i'm stuck in neutral wasting time afraid down the road he might want something. But after the talk I had with sal today I have decided to just do it. Tommorow I am calling my contact for the Patent or Trademark whichever I will need to set an Appt. Today I also learned that my friends wife was laid off from the fashion industry so this might pose a problem as she was to develope a prototype. But there is one thing that I know I have started my Journey and I will not stop. Everything inside me tells me this is right and I know people will love it. I am new to all of this and I realize I have a long road ahead. If anyone can help me in any way I would greatly appreciate any advice. And if I can help anyone in any way do not hesitate to ask. I want to thank everyone for accepting me and my vision into this family.
