Well im 25 and have always known that I didnt want to work for anyone because that just wouldnt get me where I want to be.
After a few crap jobs out of high school I started a business servicing pools about 4 years ago. Ive been able to live off the money from my business while only having to actually work about 5-6 months out of the year. So to me that was a good start especially considering when I started I heard all the typical stuff from my family who are all life long slaves to their jobs and think starting a business or getting rich is a fairy tale or for the lucky people.
Then about two months ago I read MJs book and it flipped my thought process upside down. Even though I had my own small business I was still trading MY time for money and basically still had a job. Having true financial freedom from just this pool business would be quite difficult considering my limited reach.
So while I will still continue this business and build it, I look to be able to hire a few people in a year or two to do all the work yet still have this as an income stream.
I recently started a real estate website as my first attempt at something with a little more fastlane potential. Its a niche that has been done before with success but I feel my site can be better and far cleaner and easier to use then theirs. I guess the hard part for me is overcoming my own laziness and actually doing all the work necessary. But I know to get where I want to be it is going to take a lot of effort and im willing to do it. I have a lot to learn and look forward to interacting with everyone on this forum with like minded goals.
