25, Techie – Ready To Take Control Of My Life

[Bowzie]

I've recently read Millionaire Fastlane . I am currently reading The Great Rat Race Escape .

I went to school to become an engineer, played college sports, and participated in engineering clubs. I was always told, "engineers make great money!". I never doubted it and looked forward to my luxurious life in Silicon Valley as a HW Engineer. When I graduated, I got a great job and started saving as much as I could. The more I did the math of my financial trajectory, the more I put myself in denial. Even with a high paying job I'd still need to live frugally until 55 to have “real money”. I soon lost a good chunk of my net worth in the stock market and really started to question the path I was on. Then the Millionaire Fastlane punched me in the gut…

This feels like what I am supposed to be doing.

• I've always wrote down my business ideas, but never executed. (here’s my chance)
• I already have the skills to create hardware products from scratch and outsource manufacturing.
• I can create a business with CUL while keeping a job that pays the bills (until it’s not needed).

Ok Fastlane Forum. I have some questions.

• I want to build a tribe of peers/mentors, so I live and breathe entrepreneurism every day. Besides this forum, any tips?
• I have several ideas for products and businesses but lack the knowledge of creating a website and advertising. Where do you suggest I start?
• Any general tips or stories, I’d love to hear them
