Hi All!
It's great to be here, I hope to learn a lot from all of you as well as contribute myself whenever I come up with good advice.
WHO AM I?
I am a 30 year old (will be turning 31 in less than a month) from Poland and have come across "The Millionaire Fastlane " thanks to a great friend of mine, who gave it to me as a birthday gift (am I grateful!). I've read the book almost a year ago and it helped me shift my thinking patterns a lot. At that moment I was:
- working full time (more like 1,5 times full time) in the banking/IT sector earning a rather good salary for Polish standards,
- building with a partner (>40 years old with experience in building small businesses in different sectors - some successful, some not) a small outdoor marketing company focusing on atypical media.
By the end of 2013 it seemed that everything has "clicked" in our business and I decided to leave my day job. Unfortunately, since then it has not been as good as it seemed it will be... in fact the business is not going well at all. Nevertheless I don't regret my decision, because thanks to it I met the love of my life
and have time to work on a new business.
I've reminded myself about The Fastlane Forum and decided to join in order to:
- "be" around fastlane focused individuals instead of spending time reading negative BS news, which I used to waste time on,
- access insights and lessons of other entrepreneurs,
- get additional motivation.
WHAT AM I UP TO NOW?
- In our current business I believe that we've overrated the market and possibilities, therefore will be putting less time into it, still hoping it can give us at least some money from time to time.
- Brainstorming with my partner for new business ideas - we've got one idea that we might decide to pursue, starting with testing the market.
- In order to have some income coming my way while the second business venture gets going, motivated by https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/importing-wholesaling-for-resale-on-ebay.51843, I consider spending part of my time on buying products from China and selling them on Polish auction platform (ebay is almost non-existent here as there was already a very strongly established leader when ebay decided to enter... and failed miserably).
WHAT IS MY PLAN FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS?
- Build a profitable business - as mentioned above, the ideas for second shot at it are still being brainstormed. To quote a friend of mine - "I'm working on earning my second million, because the first one didn't work out"
- Keep it growing, potentially with an exit strategy of selling my share in the company and moving on to starting a new venture... and again, and again.
All the best and I hope I will be of at least some assistance to the fastlane community,
Krzysztof
