Hello everyone, I’m Dwayne, 29. I’ve been a silent reader for a long time (see my join date lol) and... I want to get out of my hermit shell and connect with people!
First and foremost, I’ve read MFL and that’s what led me to join this forum. When Unscripted got published, I bought it the moment it appeared on the shelf at my local bookstore. So yeah, I’ve read both books and they are truly without a doubt, LIFE CHANGING. MFL was more than sufficient to change my life, but Unscripted delivers even more hard truths and it open my eyes even bigger.
Why have I been a silent reader for a long time? My reasons are: (probably just excuses)
- MFL motivated me so much that I spent most of my time working on my idea. So I mainly just visit this forum for “further studies”. Teehee.
- I felt that I have nothing to contribute yet as I’ve yet to be successful in anything I started.... I was probably dealing with extreme low self-esteem at one point and fighting with mild depression.
A little background about me: I studied com science and with 7 years exp as Web Developer. I left my day job 3 years ago, in order to fully focus on my dreams of being an entrepreneur. Deep down in my mind I knew I really hate working for someone else (rat race). I want to put all my IT skills into good use by starting a Tech company... in short, I’ve tried and failed so many times within a span of 7 years. (yes i’ve been a wantrepreneur even when I was working for someone else.) The biggest lesson learnt was I didn’t know exactly what I was doing and I have no directions of where I’m heading to. Not to mention, I was also a huge action-faker. Until I’ve read MJ’s books... they really helped me to realise what I should be doing.
For almost a year now, I’ve been grinding on my latest business idea and has finally earned my first dollar, made my first sale... 7 years of trying and failing, and finally, something that I created makes money... Most importantly, finally someone sees value in my creation....
Although I’m still very far away from being stable or even successful, I think it’s time for me start forging meaningful relationships with like-minded people... especially good people in this forum
Since I’m not too sure how much I can, or I should share about what I’m doing, I will end off here. So please, ask me anything!
