Hello everyone, just want to introduce myself.

Im 22 from Australia, currently enrolled as a law student. From the eyes of my parents and all the other 'influencers', i will be set for the slowlane as a lawyer. I do not feel that way nor do i want to 'make it' in the slowlane - the fastlane is my goal. Thats the reason we're all here isnt it?

Over the last few years ive read countless books on entrepreneurship, startups, general business, a few biographies and books on entrepreneurial individuals eg. Peter Thiel, Steve Jobs, Paul Allen, Elon Musk.. etc etc.... of course, the pivotal point of my readings is TMF (Thanks MJ).

I hate my reality - truth is, im just another student in the system taking on debt in the hopes of getting a job in the real world, competing against thousands of other students to enter and phaseout the slowlane way of life.

I realise nothing will change unless i change. And that is the reason i am here. I am sick of making excuses for myself and action-faking by reading books - i want to take real action, take control of my life and start capitalising on some of the great ideas ive thought about.

The greatest barriers i find at the moment is not having the hard skills to pursue my big ideas - most of which must be website developed or software based extensively. I don't possess much, if any web based technology-based skill (eg coding, software engineering etc) so im limited in pursuing in that aspect, and my social network does not extend that far as to encompass anybody with the skillset thats required.

I am here to take action and start something - regardless of failure.
Fail fast until i meet success.I realise im young but not that young so i need to take action ASAP.

So heres what ive done/doing:
- read a load of good books on general entrepreneurship - nothing on hard skills
- re-evaluated my life goals, in terms of the Wealth Trio - health, relationships, finance and time goals
- dropped the negative, useless friends that drag me down.
- today i got in touch with some like-minded old friends to keep me accountable and focused - im yet to find older, experienced game players.
- ive been buying and selling in-demand products in the Automotive sector to make a little cash on the side.

Heres what i will be doing:
- find the big hitters in this forum, follow and find their content
- read the gold threads.
- explore some of my old ideas ive written down - research viability ... come back here to explore issues.
- execute idea...

Thanks guys.
