Hello awesome people,
Great to be here and glad I found this great forum. I also really like reading "The Millionaire Fastlane ", it's funny how MJ DeMarco thoughts are similar to my own. I have been fed slowlane crap all my life, good education, save money, bla bla.. My dad did all that, saved every penny, made A LOT of money, he's well off, but he's not rich. I knew from a very young age that if I stayed the course I would end up in the same position.
I started off in a 9-to-5 junior-level, got lucky by being able to solve a big problem they had and got a 45% promotion in return and a Senior title, just one year after joining the company! Unfortunately the next 3 years my income didn't move much and I was laid off! My own fault, I was bored and hated the work and hated the fact I never would make much money no matter how many promotions I would get or how far I would climb the corporate ladder.
My family encouraged me to go find a new job but instead I started my own business freelancing. Because I immediately found a great head hunter my income suddenly increased 3-fold. I was happy for a few years I made about the same amount of money my dad did at the end of his career. But I wanted more, so I started taking on more freelance clients which I would do during weekends and after office hours. Now I worked 14 hours per day, 7 days per week. Making between 1000-1400 per day. The money was good but I suffered, my family, and the clients weren't very happy because they all demanded I worked a few days on-site with them which wasn't possible because I would need to be at another client on-site.
I cancelled the extra contracts and kept working for the client I liked most and decided to take a new direction.
So currently I am looking for a partner, someone who knows how to sell, and knows his way around internet marketing. I know about everything there is to know about software development and reducing development costs, just need someone who can do the selling and help me with marketing.
I know my way around inbound/outbound marketing, I am just too honest and go in too much detail when it comes to selling.
So that's about everything about me. Any questions?
