Hi,
my name is Fedor, I live in Paris, France. I was born in Russia and we moved to France when I was 10. I have an engineering degree and am now working as a CIO for a french company. I mainly spend my working time advising the GM about business and digital strategy, while managing 8 developpers following the Scrum methodology.
MJ's books highly resonated with my deep "Whys" and I plan on starting my own business, I guess creating value through my IT experience and management skills or something completely unrelated.

I have made some cash-flow positive leveraged investments in real estate as well, and will continue doing so while I still am an emplyoee and can get loans easily.
I have tried the Aliexpress/Amazon/Shopify thing for a couple months and have made around 100$ in sales but got bored by the lack of value creation, and the slowness of this result.
As well, I have two young kids which doesn't leave much time for creating a side - business.
But these are all excuses.

I am here on this forum to gain insights form peers, to actually start to think of myself as an entrepreneur, and to take the leap.
