Hello everyone,
I just finished reading the book, and it's flipped turned my logic upside down. The idea of financial freedom versus being wealthy and the emphasis on time has really put this 26 year old's life into perspective. My life on the FastLane starts today! I have a wealth of ideas for mobile applications that I will use to focus on one. My major obstacle is the need for a programmer to help develop the application.
My original idea was to go into partnership with someone who has a coding background, but that of course has its own pitfalls. I can't rely on someone to commit as much time, effort, and energy into this as me. This is my number one priority, and I don't want to rely on someone who sees it as their 3rd or 4th. With that, I've made the choice to start educating myself how to code applications.
I've tried, several times in fact, to learn how to code (Java, Phython, etc). Only having experience in HTML and CSS, I'd get bored and quit to play the latest video game or to go drinking with my fraternity brothers. There is no lack of understanding, just a lack of passion to actually learn coding. After reading the book it's obvious. My passion will never be coding or building applications, but those skills will help me get to pursue those passions. I graduated college with a film degree, and quickly realized that my passion for fillm will never make me a millionaire without a serious amount of free time.
So that is me. If anyone has any feedback, or suggestions on where to go or what to read it would be highly appreciated. I've already purchased 2 books on the subject, and started learning this morning.
Thanks again for reading!
