...will be brief.
Thank you.

Oh I see. I should write a bit more. So...
I am 45 years old and like many people wonder how this happened. All those ideas I will start tomorrow!
'Best laid plans of mice and men' as that Scottish chap once wrote.
The problem is that I have a sales job selling a product I like for a company I like and have no mortgage or debt and enough money to last me for quite some time.
So why is that a problem?
Comfort.
Nothing in my life or background has made me sit up and say 'I need to change this'
Until last week.
I was on the train from Waterloo to Reading and someone had left a book behind.
Unscripted .
Forget school, parents etc unwittingly sending you down a scripted path; my sales job is literally a script. I am not kidding. And I have spent 10 years saying those exact same words with no deviation.
So for the first time in all those years I asked myself the question 'What the devil am I doing?'
And here I am. I feel the need to finally do my own thing.
I Googled the author @MJ DeMarco and found this Forum. After a weekend of reading some of the threads and contributions by @Andy Black @SinisterLex @Fox @AllenCrawley and many others I figured out that this is the most pragmatic forum there is.
People get to the point.
I have no real Entrepreneurial bone in my body, I believe you are born this way but I can learn business skills and this Forum is chock full of sterling advice from people old and young, male and female across the world it seems.

I am happy to be ignorant and learn from you all.
Thank you once again.
