Good day fastlaners. A long time coming for me, but a week ago I've finally decided to take the plunge and start the journey towards financial freedom. Maybe I made up my mind a long time ago, maybe I'm just taking the first step. Even then, this didn't come easy. Thoughts wouldn't leave me alone and kept pestering until I had no other choice but to give in.
I spent time on and off the forum, I read a couple of books, I watched some videos and listened to some podcasts. I believe some information stuck into my head but ultimately I didn't learn nothing useful. Concepts have nowhere to hold on to, as business world is too foreign to me with no experiential foundation to build a house upon.
Though what it did was give me a shit ton of anxiety. Of not pursuing nothing. Of not taking control. It reached such a critical mass that the decision to take action was the easy way out. Full on all or nothing action. Get all the stoppers out and change myself to whatever I need to be to achieve independence and be on top of my own created hierarchy.
Mind you, I have no marketable skills and l'm not particularly good at anything. I don't have an entrepreneural bone in my body. I don't speak bussiness and money. There's no real passions under the hood. I'm just a middle aged man that coasted along through life, and unwillingly gained some life experience. Maybe some wisdom. That's it. I don't have a lot of free time between family, work and keeping myself fit. I'm not energetic, I'm not overly motivated. From an objective point of view, I'm most likely going to fail. If you'd personally know me, you'd stake all your money on that option. I am the laziest, slowest, most unproductive person I know.
But.
I'll update this thread at least every 8 days (shift pattern), until I'm out of the rat race.
