This forum is the real deal

[tminch55]

I'm the new cat on the board and I wanted to thank you guys for offering up such valuable information. This forum is the real deal and I'm happy to have found it.

I have spent five years jerking around trying to find the perfect idea. Five years wasted. Glad I dropped fifty k on business school!

Anyway, as of tonight I am a sponge. I'm wiping my mind clear of what I think I know. I'm going to learn from the best here. I would like to humbly ask those of you who are veterans to give me 3-5 things that I absolutely need to do immediately to get started off on the right foot. Please bear in mind I have no special skills or any existing ideas.

I would appreciate any feedback I can on this. I just started a young family and have a sincere desire to gain some freedom and improve our financial lives. I have an existing job that pays the bills, but I refuse to be content with that.

Thanks for having me and thanks for the wealth of information here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
