Hi all,
before to start I want to apologize for my English, I know it is far to be perfect therefore be patient, thanks.
So, where to start, maybe from the beginning, I'm Alessandro, 44 years old, wife, kids, employed and surely I was a sidewalker (using TMFL vocabulary).
Then something happened, I have started to change my idea of wealth and time, don't be rich or own some cool gadget weren't my real problems, to have few time for me/family/friends was/is my real issue.
Also the enviroment taken a toll on my life, it is nice to live in a big city for severals reasons but I needed more nature around me, not in the philosophical term or buying few plants, I wanted to be with the nature.
Therefore my first step was to buy a house close to the Alps with a garden and some fruit plants, and yes I have a mortage too. Was it a bad decision for my financial status? Indeed but my life starting to change, I'm happy to spend time on my vegetable garden, eating what I have sown and harvested. This was about 2 years ago.
Next step was to improve myself, if I can change the enviroment should be easy to change myself, or not? No!
It is hard, we naturally resist changes, and if not you is someone else close to you, or the world around you, to change bad habits is not easy at all, but I'm working on it.
Few months ago I have started to lose weight (- 8 kilos/17 pounds) and now I'm running and doing exercise almost every day.
Ok, next one I said, given that I have no interest to have lot of money per se but to buy time for what I really care obviously the main thing to change was pretty easy to spot, my job/income, but how?
I have started to read several books about finance but nothing that really hit me, then I read TMF book and I immediately found what I'm looking for, not a course, program or easy steps to follow, but a mindset to learn from, for that many thanks @MJ DeMarco, you own me.
To be honest I bought the book some time ago but I finished it only Wednesday, Unscripted will soon follow.
Time to think how to start a business, plenty of topics to read here.
Thanks for your time.
Ciao
