I am excited to meet everyone that is part of this life changing group of people at the Summit!
I'll also go ahead and introduce myself properly
Storytime
I was a pretty nerdy kid. My top goal was to be a student at Hogwarts. That didn’t work out. Next up on the list: be someone bad a$$ at business. I read everything I could get my hands on. A German newspaper article had me convinced that entrepreneurs work crazy hours and usually earn a lot less than everybody else - and usually fail. Not such a good thing for us Germans.
I loved school. I thought university would be the icing on the cake of life. I went on to study business and IT with the goal of going into consulting. The time, which I imagined to be the best time of my life ended up being the worst time of my life. One big downward spiral of mobbing, defeat and negativity. If you want to know more about it you’ll need to buy me a strong drink.
One last internship separated me from the paper that meant freedom to me. I decided for real estate, mainly because it had nothing to do with anything I had done in the past years. Life turned back around. I was surrounded by entrepreneurial people, was part of the development of large scale real estate projects and regained the belief in my abilities. Fast forward to a bar in Munich, a few glasses wine too many with my best friend @ExecutionMonster, we agreed that life was too short and we would live it without compromises, “kompromisslos” as we call in in German. Time to build a business and be an entrepreneur.
We started out with passion projects, various Bitcoin ideas, and built quite an impressive list of failed projects. We even tried to sell Christmas trees in Austria.
Then we read The Fastlane Millionaire. A Life changer. Not only for our view of life but also for our projects. We started an Amazon business and grew it to the stage it is at today: a wonderful money tree that still needs quite a bit of gardening, despite a few helping hands. Right now we are working on growing our team, before embarking on the next venture.
Creating businesses is a way of life and we are immensely grateful to have found this path and are passionate about helping others become entrepreneurs.
@MJ DeMarco Thank you for writing a life changing book, that created such an impact and I recommend whenever I meet an entrepreneurial spirit
@Vigilante Thank you for bringing this community closer together and teaching us so many lessons
@biophase Thank you for writing the Fastlane Thread on Amazon that got us off fantasy land and into real Fastlane entrepreneurship
