<div class="bbWrapper">Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am starting this thread to post about my journey in hopes it will benefit others and also myself through feedback and suggestions.<br />
<br />
I've had it all wrong. I leaped into entrepreneurship without tending to one of the most important aspects: Health.<br />
Time-wasting bad habits have held me back. My mental health has acted as an anchor to my goals but no longer.<br />
<br />
I found myself going through long strides of depression with short bursts of ecstasy and energy. One doctor said I may be<br />
bipolar but others disagreed. There is still a long way to go but I have been making changes to my lifestyle.<br />
Bad habits like watching Youtube, Netflix, etc endlessly are out the window. I am pretty active but I am planning on going to the gym<br />
with some friends soon. With the extra time on my hands, I have been reading books, listening to podcasts, and making a proper<br />
start on my Fastlane journey!<br />
<br />
I am a part owner of a moving company in Wellington, New Zealand. I was in uni studying engineering but due to the aforementioned health,<br />
my studies weren't going terribly well. When my friend told me he was starting Mr Shifter with his dad who had a lot of experience in the industry, I knew it would be a good start to my journey. At the end of the day, the same skills I was learning in uni can be acquired online for a fraction of the price.<br />
<br />
Mr. Shifter has been operating for a few months now and already has a great foundation of five-star reviews. The other day, we were picking up a cabinet that a customer had bought. The seller was so impressed with our techniques and care that she asked for a business card, saying she will be using us in future. Productocracy in action!<br />
<br />
There is a lot of subpar competition in Wellington when it comes to moving and Mr. Shifter can eat them alive! We have been looking at a carbon<br />
neutral model as well as how moving companies operate in Japan.<br />

<br />
I am also looking into flipping cars. Here in NZ, you can sell, 8 cars per year without a dealership license (which costs only $700 NZD ish).<br />
There is some good money in it and lucky for me, one of my friends is a qualified mechanic who can teach and help me out.<br />
<br />
Currently, I am also in the process of upskilling myself on things such as coding and bookkeeping.<br />
<br />
Long term, I would like to sell my stake in the moving company back to my friend and his dad and start my own ventures. I am quite interested<br />
in green energy and would love to tap into the market there. Real estate is another good one, but property here is quite expensive.<br />
<br />
Till next time.<br />
