Hello Fastlaners!

I’m 21, from the UK, with my sights set on financial freedom, and I’m determined to make it happen. I recently graduated in Economics with Econometrics, which gave me a solid foundation in coding and data analysis. I’ve chosen not to use Instagram or TikTok, and my closest friends are nothing like me in this respect. Just recently, Black Ops 6 was released, and they’re already grinding for golden guns, while I couldn’t care less—I haven’t even touched my Xbox in two years. I’d much rather put my time and energy toward something meaningful.

I haven’t started anything entrepreneurial yet, and I’m still searching for the right idea. With limited capital, I’m debating whether to focus on building up my skills—maybe honing my coding abilities further—or whether it’s better to dive into finding an idea straight away, learning what I need as I go.

Reading The Millionaire Fastlane and joining this community has already made me think bigger. I’d love to know how some of you took those first steps—what was the one action that set you on the right path in those early days? I’m open-minded and ready to learn, so any wisdom you can share would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to making the most of this journey!
