Hello guys,

I have been reading the forum for a few days now and I think it is now time to introduce myself.

I am 28 yrs old, french, living in France.

My background:
I am Mechanical Engineer, graduated in 2010. I speak French, English (at least I try...) and Spanish (useful for girls !). I have been working as a Business Development Director in a French SME for the last 3 years. My skills are very much related to plastic parts for industrial use and complex technical sales for packages from 50 k USD to 10 MUSD.
I started reading @MJ DeMarco book a week ago and I just finished it. It motivated me to launch a few social network accounts (IG mainly) to build up a community within a niche and maybe get some $$ from it. First IG account is up and running ! I plan to start a website very shortly. I am still working on the business model though: e-commerce or social network.

My motivation:
It mainly comes from my childhood: my mom raised me alone by working low paid night shifts. She is now retired and I hope i could give her back a small share of what she gave me.
Also, long story short, the annual revenue of the company I work in grew from 1m to 12m since I joined and what I received in return for my hard work in developing the business is... peanut (as we say in french). No stock options, ridiculous raise and very low bonuses.

My goal:
I want to win my financial freedom by reaching 6-7 M EUR of net worth. This is the amount I need.

I hope to have nice discussions and to meet great people here ! I also want to thanks @Andy Black for his warm welcome via PM when I joined and followed him.

Thanks for reading
GRK

PS: How do I put the "Read the Millionaire Fastlane " bar on my profile pic ? Could not figure it out yet...

"I was paid peanuts!" ... we say that in the UK too, and I'm sure in the US. :)
