Hi guys,
The problem I want to talk about is having family members with a different mindset than yours.
I come from a family with mom, dad and two older sisters, I am 19 years old atm.
I have decided 2 years ago to quit school and that decision made my life turn upside down.
I'm now reading financial and self improvement books, ( Including TMF ofcourse ) and doing lots of other things to try and create passive income.
So I think you can tell my mindset has totally changed in that 2 years.
I'm now more a Fastlane kinded thinker.
But to get to my problem I wanted to talk about is that my family members didn't go through the process of educating theirselves like I did.
Let's be clear about it; they are slowlaners, ( just like my mindset before quitting school ) but i'm now at the moment in my life where i'm making critical decisions on how I want to spend the rest of my life.
I'm not going to settle for a 9 to 5 job, living paycheck to paycheck, that's not how i'm viewing the rest of my life.
And now i'm going to get to the point I wanted to speak about, this is mostly a problem with me and my dad. My sisters don't live with me and my parents no more so they don't really bother me, it's mostly my dad.
My mom is really supportive and that's what I really love about her, but my dad ehh.. he thinks about it a bit different.
His expectations about me was finishing school, getting a diploma, finding a job, buying a house, starting a family and trading the 5 for 2 with the 9 to 5.
But I took a different path and i'm glad I did, but my dad doesn't understand this lifestyle, he just wants me to live a stable lifestyle, without to many risks.
I hope I can get some advice on how to discuss this problem with my dad, because he is not really trying his best to understand and i'm definitely not going back to school, to get a diploma and find a job to work 9 to 5, just to please him.
I have now stopped working at my recent job and resigned, because I want to focus on starting my own business and my dad wasn't quite happy about that, because again, he like's a stable life without to many risks.
And now i'm going to have a conversation with my dad on how I see my future, and I hope I can get some tips on how to make my dad clear that i'm doing all I can to make the best out of my life, but i'm not going to live the same life he does, and i'm certainly not going to change my whole life all because he wants me to get a more stable life.
My dad take's care of me and I still live under his roof, I really respect him for that, but he needs to stop trying to control my life and learn to let go and let me discover myself, because i'm not going to live the life my dad wants me to life.
So I hope I can get some advice for this conversation i'm going to have with my dad, because I want to make my dad very clear, this what i'm doing now, living an entrepeneurs life and that is what make's me happy.
I hope i've told it clearly enough for you guys to understand, I hope to read some of your tips very soon.
