Hi all. Just saying hi 
Been running two decently successful businesses since I was 16. But I quit that at 26 for several reasons and have since been studying business administration full time. And since august 2021 I also work as a management consultant, my first real job. After four months I've realised that I cannot stand building someone else's dream, especially while working unpaid overtime (14h days with school august - december) and not being in control of my time at all. I keep thinking "what if I spent all this time building my own business??". Since starting my job, I stopped training, dancing bachata and seeing friends. Not the kind of life you want.
Reading MJ's books I have realised that I want to do more. I want to provide actual value to people, not just help companies improve their bottom line. I want to make people healthier and happier. I've also realised that the common denominator in my previous endeavours and current job is that I trade(d) time for money and lacked scaleability. Now I want it to be different.
I am tied down at work by contract to May 2022 which is frustrating, but it doesn't mean I won't do what I can now. So I am here to find likeminded people, inspiration, ideas and to hopefully provide some value from my previous experiences so that others don't fall in the same traps as I do.
