Hi everyone,

My name is Ron and I am 30 years old, currently living in my home country Germany again. Thank you all and especially MJ DeMarco for this wonderful forum and opportunity to meet and learn from successful people.

My story as brief as I possibly can. I am a full time employee and part time investor (commodities, soon also real estate). Right now I am in a transition from the Slowlane to the Fastlane by becoming a full time entrepreneur as soon as possible.

I didn't have much while growing up. We were a low income family and pretty much poor. After graduating school I was employed in a global telecommunications company for four years. Though the money was enough to cover my living expenses, I found myself with little or no time to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Soon I realized that I was stuck in the “rat race”, working six days a week. Before long I was suffering from the “burnout syndrome” and I decided that it was time to make a positive change in my life.

I left for Australia after bidding my old life goodbye simply because I wanted to learn how to become wealthy. I traveled for three years non stop in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan and South Korea to learn how to become successful in the “Real World”.

The result was dozens of investment seminars, countless books on how to become rich. The most important thing that I could observe during my travels is that the rich were business owners or investors. Eventually I became a Forex trader but was not able to be consistent profitable in it, so I had to come back to Germany in 2011 and get a job.

Luckily I bought MJ DeMarco's book "The Millionaire Fastlane " this month and just finished reading it. This is by far the best book I have read so far! Now I know exactly why I was not able to get rich till now and what I will need to do. My next step is to create a business that meets all the 5 Fastlane commandments and all the other described criterias. This book has opened my eyes! Now I know that my big goal of moving to U.S. and financial freedom is within reach.

Thanks for reading and I want to thank all the Fastlaners here for sharing their wealth of knowledge in this forum!

To your success,
Ron

Willkomen! =),

i think you can see the connection between low entry obstacles and forex trading ; ) It's the same like online Poker. Did you play online Poker. I ask, because it would fit perfectly to your portfolio :).

Good Luck!

@ braincast:
The low entry is an obstacle indeed. Back then there was no "The Millionaire Fastlane " book but plenty of gurus. Anyway, I have learned my lessons :D
I did not play poker or online poker. In my opinion this is gambling and gambling is foolish, not a way to make real good money or affect millions of people :)

Indeed poker isn't "fastlane". You have to be very exceptional to earn big money. But Poker is a zero-sum game and in the long run it isn't gambling. the luck component shrinks to zero and the skill component raises to 100 ; ).

I'm sometimes in Aachen, couse a few mates ary studying there. Nice City! =).

Hey :)

there will be some obstacles and challenges you have to overcome if you want to become a full time entrepreneur! But it sounds like you did it before with your "3 years travel trip" :D

So welcome to the board and congrats to another step on your way :)

With kind regards from Berlin
Patrick

@AlexV: You've got a new PM.

@joschi: Thank you! I did it before indeed but more out of need. I was in Australia and completely broke. It was in the time where the global financial crisis started and I could not find a job. So what I did was that I invented a job/business to make money.

Therefore I can totally relate to MJ why he moved to Phoenix. In Australia I enjoyed most of the time great weather and sunshine and I was creative and productive. The country was full of entrepreneurs actually. I wanted to bring this entrepreneurial spirit to Germany as well. But back in my home country I am affected by the overall environment (people and weather) and somehow I am not able to reproduce the previous success yet.

Anyway, I'm glad to bring entrepreneurial atmosphere at least into my living room by visiting this awesome forum :D

@Cyberseraphive
got what you mean with the people...
I am still stuck in my 9-5 and every spark of innovation or entrepreneurial thinking is erased directly
plus the last winter was a little to long ^^

It's really time to reach out to more like minded people and inspirations!
