Hello!
Quick intro about me, I am 27 and female from the UK. I did terrible at school as I came from a very dysfunctional family so I ended with very bad grades which I thought was the end for me because school, society and parents drilled it into my head that bad grades meant bad job/ bad life FOREVER. So I ended up being a waitress for many years and did other jobs in between like office work which was 9-5, driving cars for people who are too drunk to drive, looking after animals (well mainly picking up their poop really......not so glamourous!) and looking after plants in a garden centre. Every single one of these jobs killed me inside because of the repetition, a monkey could do the tasks I did everyday because it was essentially very simple. All of these jobs were minimum wage and at the end of the day I was so exhausted from either being bored to death or from doing what felt a million steps a day that I could only collapse in the sofa. I have read the millionaire fastlane and currently reading unscripted . I totally agree with everything and have never bought anything on finance, I don't have a mortgage. (I live with my gran) I have no debts as I never went to uni but I still have barely anything in the bank account.
MJ says somewhere something like most people have loads of ideas for the fastlane but never act on it. Me I struggle to think of ideas and even as a 17 year old I thought to myself what could I invent to be rich? Throughout the years I have always tried to think of business ideas but sometimes I lose faith and hope with myself because I feel like I have the brain of the hill billy from the Simpsons!! I am a very hard worker and for a couple of years did 14 hour days. I absolutely love the books but reading it gives me a tinge of jealousy and disbelief that I will ever be capable as I have been all these years and still in the same position. I understand everything in the book but I don't know how to practice it in real life. I am not asking someone to give me their business idea but I guess I just don't know where to start!
