Hi all,
great to be here, I've recently read fastlane millionaire, which opened my eyes to the mindsets and beliefs I used to have that were flawed.. so I decided to change careers from process engineer to sales engineer.

I'm a 24 yr old man that had a good slowlane job with with a good company, but after reading flm, I wanted out, and I didn't know where to start besides learning something new, sales?!

I don't know how to set up businesses, I don't know how to find suppliers or manufacturers, I don't know how to market, and I am too afraid to wager the small sum of cash I have saved in a venture that will likely end in failure because I lack experience in business...

maybe some words of advice from someone that's been in similar shoes to me?

thanks for reading
