Hello all!
My name is Ali and I'm from Canada. I've been working as a medical lab technologist for about 6 years now. When I graduated in 2010, I knew that this job wouldn't be my final destination, it was always my fall back plan. Plan A was to ultimately become a physician. After graduating though, I realized that there was a low demand for my field of work, so i packed my bags and moved out west, to Alberta. I eventually landed a job as a lab tech at the military base (worked as a civilian though). To make things short, I moved around for about 4 years eventually coming back to Ontario. The dreams of becoming a physician diminshed after realizing how shit their job is in my opinion. Yea they make good money...but for the amount of b.s. they have to deal with...no thanks not for me. Also, after paying off 23,000 student loan within 2 years, I did not want to go into debt once again. It was a drag paying it off. I continue to work as tech but looking to find something that can replace my job. Hating the shift work grind. I've been reading books heavily for over a year now and I'm just about to finis MJ DeMarco' s the millionaire fast lane. Amazing book! One of the best books I have read.
Everytime I put down his book, I think to myself...what skills do I have that I can offer others value. Honestly, with my job, my skills are limited to a lab setting. I don't have too many other skills, especially anything programming or marketing related. I do want to start my own things, so I have been looking into FBA...taking my time with it as I do hope to build a brand and not just some lazy product that will generate some income.
I hope to network with others and be able to offer advice with anything I can. I also hope to learn from others as well.
As 2018 begins, what are your guys thoughts on what skills one should learn and pick up to be able to establish an online business? Any advice would be great.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I look forward to meeting great people!
