Hey Fastlaners,
As you can see, I've been a member here for a while. I originally joined back around 2011 when I was 16 and launching a unique product around the competitive gaming industry. After that I headed off to college and bought a bmw parts dropshipping business. Throughout college I lost a bit of my entrepreneurial spark, and was gearing up for a career in finance/accounting.
Well, I just graduated in May and have been working brutal hours as an analyst at J.P. Morgan. Corporate America, or I suppose the lack of desire to be in corporate America, has brought back my entrepreneurial spark and desire to drive income online and get in the fastlane.
I found Tim Feriss this summer and he sparked my interest in self-help/personal development books. From there I got into podcasts and wound up following John Lee Dumas, and now Pat Flynn, and more specifically his SPI Podcast.
Right now, my goal is to listen to every single (currently 296) SPI episode. I'm currently on episode 25, so I've got a long way to go, but I've already learned so much. Episode 18 featured MJ DeMarco, and obviously I had known his name from my time on here back in the day. Listening to his episode is what brought me back to this forum!
So just wanted to reintroduce myself and let you guys know I look forward to staying active on here and building some long term relationships. I added my professional headshot to put a face to a name!
As for my online ventures, I sold my bmw dropshipping business a couple months back, and sort of spun it off into a niche blog writing specifically about tuning the bmw's n54 engine...where my current focus is on monetization. Aside from that, I have a few other ideas in the works that I will keep a secret for now.
