Hello,
At the age of 20, I started, and failed in my first business venture. That Stigma of that failure, from Family, Friends and Society, stuck with me forever. Another 3 failures over the next 20 years only cemented this FAILURE LABEL in everyone's eyes.
Then I moved to USA. But here too, my failures continued. I Lost all my existing properties back in my home country due to family disputes and at the age of 50 I was in ZERO (or even MINUS) position with FAILURE written large all over my life.
I don't know how, but a few months back, I got introduced to MJ's Book "Millionaire FastLane ". and something changed.
MJ was writing EVERYTHING that I have always been saying and believing. Everything written in that book was what I have practiced and believed in but was never confident, due to my failures, that I was right. This book gave me the validation that I really needed. Suddenly I was at peace with myself and my confidence grew.
My failures were not because of my method of thinking, but due to other reasons (Mj's Book Also helped me identify my those shortcomings). I truly regret not listening to my self but allowing everyone else to to shape my opinion of myself.
Now, at the age of 60, I look forward to a confident and happy future as I work on one one more business venture which I have been working on since last one year.
Whether I succeed or not is no longer of primary importance, what is important is that I have started rebuilding myself. and that is the biggest success of it all.
I cannot thank MJ enough.
