Hi everyone, my name is Ned, in my late twenties, currently live in Northern Jersey close to NYC, originally form Macedonia ( Eastern Europe ).

Figured out that I'm driving the slow lane 5 years ago, had a business where I was the one in charge for email, service, web site, articles, phone calls etc etc and when I hit the max I could earn form doing it.

I was literally working my a$$ off, 20 hours a day man, while still in college, plus had to send money to support my family who was struggling at that time, had to pay my own expenses, tuition, help out my sister with some cash and therefore had no money to scale my business or that's what I thought so at that time.

Left my friends, college - 3 more exams to my bachelor degree majoring in E-business, 4 year relationship and the job I developed myself at that time to build a sustainable business system that probably will be broaden across Europe or at least will buy me some freedom so I can enjoy living the life and working on developing other skills.

Even before I came in USA I knew the game will be rough.

Had no one here to help me at all.

No family, no friends, no connection whatsoever and just around $1000 on my bank account, had some experience doing business on my own and 9-5 job about marketing management, I do know how to speak and write english, read a 100+ books before about self development, psychology, selling, marketing etc and I was more then confident that I can succeed whenever I go.

Started the hard way!

My first job ever in USA at a restaurant bussing the tables, lol, found a second job as a live guard ( best thing ever, my job was actually to try not to fall asleep ) that was my first summer.

Moved in Philly, found a job as a furniture delivery guy, made some money moved into New Jersey started working as a waiter at a local diner was doing F*cking 60+ hours a week, left that job started working at a local construction company,

Saved some money bought a car, found another job as a delivery guy which allowed me to have a lot more free time and be able to focus on my online business more.

Four months ago I open up a LLC company here in NJ for my freelancing services, learned how to build websites, seo, got myself Google AdWords Certified and planning on doing cold approached soon, honestly I'm not seeing it as a fast lane approach only as a temporary solution to bootstrap my "big idea".

Build 4 websites for clients while in USA, currently have 2 clients that I'm taking care of their PPC accounts plus just made a contract with an agency from NYC to provide them ppc services for their clients.

Build great credit score for only 3+ years, over 730+. Currently have 0 on my savings acc, and only $2000 in debt, started taking classes this year at a local community college to improve my english.

Learned how to make and publish ebooks on amazon with help from oDesk freelancers, made around $4.000 in passive income then the trend slowed down, it was an ebook about a game that was popular at that time.

Next month I decided to quit my day job as a delivery guy and focus fully on my online business and probably came up with the "big idea"

Just realized after struggling the past year to build a fast lane business on my own in US won't happen that easy.

Luckily I finally found this forum, been here for more than a month now, joined the INSIDERS forum right away, found it very inspiring, it refreshed my enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit, I'm still reading the ebook and scanning the forum and I really hope to network and engage with you guys or attend any meet ups in the area around me.

It's very different when you meet up in person and when someone point out something you are doing wrong.


P.S.
If you are in or around NYC or NJ I would like to meet you, discuss and share ideas I need help more than ever, I feel kinda stuck with myself so would love to surround more with successful and like minded people this year, feel free to hit me up, if there is any meet up!

P.P.S Sorry for the long story and for any misspelling.
