My name is Julien and I live in France
A few months ago, I saw MJ's book in a bookstore
At that time, I was at a turning point in my professional life
I thought about this book, and I bought it a few weeks later
I was not a go-getter, but I'm improve myself
There were a lot of things that didn’t suit me anymore in my old job
I wanted to earn more, but whatever I did (more hours, or climb up the hierarchy), I was going to be limited by the salary grid
In addition I did not realize myself in my work, I knew that I could be more useful elsewhere, but I had to find where
And I couldn’t stand this job invading my privacy, I wanted to get some time to do what I wanted
Everything is written in the book arrives at the right time
And I completely agree with MJ
I took my time to read and understand this book
MJ have expressed with words, many things that I thought (time at work, free time, the stock market that is risky, the random amount of retreats in France...)
I was on the slow track, and it didn’t suit me anymore
Then I thought about what I wanted to bring to the world, my place on this earth, and also my dreams, my ambitions
And it appeared as evidence, in accordance with this book
I had to behave differently to achieve my goal that has changed
I had several ideas, 3 in total
The first 2 did not respect all the commandments
But the last idea respects all the commandments and the law of impact
After reflection, I made the decision to launch
I am currently studying all the steps of the process to properly prepare myself
I’m learning a lot and I find it very interesting
The launch is scheduled for the end of the year
My daily life has changed
I work a lot every day (10 hours a day) and 60 hours a Week, big change for me
But it's ok, because I'm working for something big and for me (not for my boss)
In the very beginning, I was very excited to create something that could improve the lives of millions, billions of people
Today, I wake up one more earlier than usual
I still search a rhythm that suits me
I make sacrifices to save money (less leisure time, less evenings), and spend even more time on this project
At times, I have doubts, a decrease in motivation
I think about what I can bring to all these people, to my dreams and the motivation returns
I put pictures of my dreams in a frame and I look at them when I need them
then it gets better
Thank you for the advice MJ
The road is long to turn this idea into reality
I am demanding with myself, even though I still have several months before the launch
It will take a lot more effort after the launch to disseminate this idea, and improve it
I’m gonna find out because I’ve never been boss
I dare to dream again, I act accordingly
I hope that the consequences will be at the rendezvous
Yesterday, I used your grade method for business idea, and it was A-
Nice tool, and good idea to help people
It confirms to me that is a good idea, but still theoric at this moment
Thanks again for writing this book @MJ DeMarco
It changed my life
I'm happy to be here, read posts, share and learn with good people
With the pleasure of reading
