Hi from England
If i don't do this now I will procrastinate, posting this I am taking as a small win and a tick-in-the-box. One point to me.
I joined the forum early last year and proceeded to listen to the Millionaire Fastlane audiobook (which I finished), and then got about 3/4 of the way through Unscripted . I remember feeling pretty pumped afterwards but I must have become overwhelmed with where to start or what to do next because I action faked and went back to my daily life.
I am 43, I have a wife, 2 kids (17, 6) and live in a semi detached house on a mortgage. I work in IT for a decent enough company on an above average wage and our household income is enough for most of the things we want to do in life. We don't have many savings but we go on nice holidays, have nice things and rarely struggle for the important things. I am grateful, I feel lucky compared to others.
For the last 20 years I have been in jobs that have been convenient for family life, I have been lucky to have been able to do the school-runs in the morning and afternoon and always attended sports days and performances. Internally though I have always felt like there is something more I need to be doing, I have kept in the comfort zone and a fear of failure has possibly held me back.
I am not getting any younger but equally I am not ready to write myself off just yet!
My goal is to be in a position where my wife and I can leave our full time jobs and be in control of our destiny. I have read a few of the gold & noteable threads on the forum and right now i'm not sure what my next step is going to be. The threads were inspiring though.
I picked up the MFL audiobook again yesterday and am going to listen to it again and then want to brainstorm until I take some actual steps. Action faking is holding me back, I need to DO and FAIL, LEARN, RINSE, REPEAT.
I want to inspire my kids and SHOW them they don't have to settle for shitty jobs they may not love.
I want to be in a position where I can retire with enough time to enjoy a good life.
A main problem for me is FOCUS. I get easily sidetracked, distracted.... again ACTION FAKING TO THE FRICKING MAX! How many tabs can you consume at one time in your browser ? I mean..
This is my home. This forum is gold. No more discord. No more pretending that small wins on NFTs are making me wealthy. I will check in here daily.
I NEED you guys. I need the support, the knowledge and the motivation of you incredible people. In return, I will PAY IT FORWARD when I get results. I want to help others who also feel trapped! We got this!!
This was therapy in a way. I have made the first step. I can't undo this post once I've sent it.
LETS F'ing go!
