Hello everyone,
I recently joined the forum, so I guess an introduction is in order!
My name is Fil, and I am a 24 y/o guy currently working as a financial consultant in Boston and Dallas. I am handing in my resignation this week to pursue entrepreneurship full time!
A friend introduced me to TMF after graduating from college, but I decided to take a regular job in order to pay off student loans and build a small nest egg for living expenses. It's been almost 3 years since I read TMF for the first time, so taking the plunge has been long overdue.
I am excited for this transition, but I am definitely a little nervous for the inevitable low points of entrepreneurship. However, the way I see it, I'm only getting older, so I want to take a risk now to potentially live a very exciting life in the near future.
I have had several business ideas over the past 3 years, but haven't pursued any due to a combination of long work hours (sometime 80+ per week), analysis paralysis, and general fear of taking the plunge.
I have yet to decide how I will provide value to others. I am currently deciding between pursuing a data-subscription service for professionals in my field (a past client indicated that he would find value in a SOAP web service for a specific type of financial data ) or starting a drone services company to aid municipalities with inspections.
Thanks for taking a look at my intro (hope that wasn't too long!), and hope to talk with more of you soon!
