Hello,
My name is Nelson Brito. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for some hard advice. This is going to be kinda a long post so I apologize in advance.
A little about me, I'm a 19 year old father to a one year old and I'm also married. I live in New York state and I'm working as an accountant for 19 bucks an hour. My wife is a dental assistant for 17 bucks an hour. We have tons of bills including a daycare payment larger than our rent.
I have an associate's degree in business administration that my dad had to put a lean on our house to pay for so I would not have debt (thanks dad!). I thought that I would be happy being an accountant but I actually hate it.
I read MJ's book the millionaire fast lane and I fell in love with the dream life that MJ lives everyday.
The challenges I currently face that I'd like advice on:
currently,
#1:
I have no direction. I have no idea what kind of value I'd like to provide to the world nor how to be my own dictator of direction. I feel like I'm always waiting for the next order instead of taking the wheel.
I am currently teaching myself how to code java because when I get my idea that's the language best suited due to the range of devices it can be deployed onto.
#2:
My job is draining the life out of me and stressing me out. I come home only to find ten thousand things need to be done. I want to do more at night and so I was wondering if you all knew ways to help me stay focused and not crazy tired besides the obvious caffeinated beverages which seem to have no effect on me.
#3:
I have very strong reasons for why I need to start creating a fast lane process. However I find I lack passion. I've been burned by bad business ideas. I have spent money trying to learn dead end skills.
#4:
I know that I come off as selfish for why I need a fast lane process. It's a challenge for me to think otherwise because I want a life for my family that the average only dream of. I'm tired of missing him say new words or missing out on precious moments together. However I am aware that the only way I can create that life is if regular consumers find me valuable.
So, how can I change my mindset to help me find the passion I need to want to help others rather than myself?
#5:
Has anyone else here ever been in a similar situation to me? Man, I really REALLY don't want to be rich old. I also really feel like I will burn out driving the slow lane.
Any advice and/or criticism is accepted. I thank you in advance for taking the time to read and/or respond.
