Hi! My name is Patric and I'm new here. Read the Millionaire Fastlane , loved it. Just like most people out there, I hate the nine to five, the boring routine that robs your freedom and youth, where you know a voice deep inside of you daily says YOU DON'T NEED THIS! YOU CAN DO MUCH BETTER!
For example I busted my butt for around 5-6 years working in five star hotels in Dubai, Brazil, Switzerland, Lebanon, etc... and I finally reached a managerial role. Guess how much I was making? 1300$ per month. Yup, overworked, working shifts like a nurse (while most of you are in lala land), not paid for overtime, underappreciated, etc... and mind you, I am still trying to get out of the rat race. I understand five languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Arabic), have a Masters degree from Switzerland and that's the best it got me after busting my hump. Funny, huh? With all the luxury there in legoland (that's what I call Dubai), you'd think salaries were a little higher in hotels. Anyway, enough yapping.
WHY I'M HERE: I'm here to learn so I can get out of the rat race and while I'm here, HELP others with any insight that can benefit them.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU: I've lived in Brazil (3 different states), Dubai, Switzerland, Lebanon. I'm an expert in anything hotel-related. I'm also a passionate and experienced bodybuilder (14 years now) that knows the so-called "secrets" to losing fat and gaining muscle (common sense really), I'm also a nutrition freak. Do I sound like an infomercial? I'm also a part-time translator English to Portuguese (Vice versa - native English), an experienced guitarist (electric and acoustic - 15 years now), and I have been known to chase women away with a broom. Just kidding about the last part. @MJ DeMarco
