What’s up everybody!
My name is Ryan and I’m reintroducing myself before I meet everyone at the meet up!
A little about myself, 21 years old college student going to Sacramento State, studying electrical engineering, with one more year left (I can’t wait until I’m done! I’m going to school because it is paid for and I want to get into the industry). I read TFM my senior year of highschool and have been on the forum every since.
I’ve not posted much on the forum but has always been actively spectating for the last 3 years. I tried diving into the fastlane through different ventures but have failed a bunch of times. I got discouraged and felt like I was not worthy of posting on the forum, which is why I haven’t posted in so long…
Also going through other life problems (losing a family member, girlfriend, motivation) I felt lost/confused about my life and had negative thoughts filled up in my mind.
Even through the failures I’ve learned a lot about amazon and eBay. I did over 7k in revenue through eBay and amazon sales but the younger me was not smart about the money I was making. Every failure taught a ton of lessons that I would not have learned if I did not take any action.
Currently I am starting another business that I will work on consistently for a year minimum to see where it will take me. Hopefully I’ll get to discuss it with other members at the meet up.
I wanted to go to the meet up last year but it was not financially possible. I told myself I would make it the next meet up, and here I am! I’m skipping some of my classes since I’m flying in Thursday and leaving Monday but I’m sure it will be worth it.
I am a little nervous traveling by myself and not knowing anyone from the forum personally, but I’m sure after the meetup this feeling will change.
TL;DR
Beyond excited to meet forum members that has contributed to shaping my mind state and perception on what is possible. Especially MJ DeMarco who allowed me to believe about the fastlane back in high school.
See y'all soon
