Hello All,
I read the first book 3 years ago and again about a year ago. Bought and read the second book in 3 days last month!!! It is safe to say I am a huge fan of @MJ DeMarco 's philosophies. I like how blunt the books are, he speaks the way I speak mostly in my head. Unfiltered, Unscripted and not PC (thank God, if you can even say that anymore).
There are countless intro's here and I do not want to bore anyone who'll take the time to read mine. I'll give a little background. While I can not say that I am a fastlaner, I am definitely not in the slowlane either. By society's definition I am a successful semi-young man who's done the "right" things.
Over the years, I have dabbled with some success in online arbitrage, product creation, SEO, affiliate marketing, back links, email campaigns, you name it. My side hustles, although relatively profitable did not honor CENTS. Hence I am not a fastlaner.
I keep a running journal of ideas, what I find myself complaining about with products/services, where I see opportunities, etc. None have fully passed the CENTS methodology, hence I have not gone all in.
I am happy to help the forum members as it relates to architectural paints, protective coatings in construction, real estate (identifying markets, property management, lending, borrowing, leveraging retirement accounts), anything related to online selling.
It seems I know what it takes, and have a good grasp on letting the market confirm if there is a business in what I identify, I just have not been able to pinpoint it yet. I'd love to do something in the real estate space (not as an agent, I do not want another job), however, I've learned thanks to the books, it is not about my passions, it is about the markets' needs.
Definitely do not want to ramble on. I'll leave it at that.
I am open to any and all constructive feedback. I am excited to learn from and share with you all.
Cheers!!
