Hi,
My name is Amy, and I recently read The Millionaire Fastlane . I found this forum because I was trying to find some information on Dane Maxwell's "The Foundation" program, and his AMA came up in my google search. I wanted to see what percentage of his students were successful.
A bit of background. My degree is in Electrical Engineering, though I have worked in software from the beginning, which was about 20 years ago. It was a well-paying job, but definitely slowlane, and I just got bored. My company, a government contractor, had been trying to groom me for higher management (I only managed small teams beforehand), but I was sick of all the bureaucracy, the "check the box" mentality, and the slow pace of productivity that was required to meet government standards. I never felt like I really fit in, was not quite as much of a nerd as my fellow engineers, and always thought that there must be something better.
I went on leave a year and a half ago, got my real estate license as a stepping stone, and have been working as a real estate agent since. (Definitely does not meet the CENTS criteria!) Originally, I got it to save the fees on buying investment property, but I've done a few transactions for clients as well. Real estate is so different from engineering that it has broken me out of my comfort zone. I have so much more interaction with people now (though I'm still not a people person, sigh). It's also given me the time to do some research on what type of business I would like to be in for the long haul. I was looking at The Foundation because it creates software, and I believe that software, depending on the market and need, fits the CENTS criteria.
I've spent about 2 weeks looking through the forum, and I really like the attitude of the people here. I need accountability, and I believe I will get it on this forum. I still don't know if I am going to join this year's Foundation, or even if I need to ( it would still be great to learn from others' mistakes, I think the Foundation will provide some guidance). Although I know some software, it is government software, a completely different ballpark from commercial software, and I am not at all familiar with web or mobile applications.
I read The Millionaire Fastlane , and it's opened up my eyes to what other criteria I need to apply to my search for my market. It's a great book, I keep it open on my computer for reference. Thanks, MJ!
Hopefully I can learn a lot from this forum (I'm going to sign up for the INSIDERS as well), am just posting this first, and give back a lot as well as I add some experience.
