Hi everyone,
I'm very excited and thankful to have found this community. Reading through "The Millionaire Fastlane " was also incredibly refreshing, having spent a good amount of time navigating personal development material that personally didn't align or feel very genuine. Relationships, community, and service have always ranked high on my list of values and are part of why I've always been drawn to the tech community. To find a similar platform/community geared towards personal development topics, which mostly has been very "personal" w/o much community for me, is beyond amazing, to say the least!
Brief Personal Background:
Despite not having made it very far in traditional education (as of the moment), personal development, reading, and continuous learning have always been a few of my top personal passions. Ever since I was young, I've always loved to learn and grow, having an interest especially in STEM areas. However, growing up "financially frugally" w/thankfully one employed parent working two jobs to provide for the family, I've kept my ambition and interest in the financial aspect of wealth/success mostly to myself. Giving back to my amazing mom is a huge motivator for me.
General Objectives:
With money being a topic that was avoided at all costs growing up (pun somewhat intended lol..), it's a big "area for growth" of mine with a number of "toxified wealth" beliefs, as mentioned in the first part of The Millionaire Fastlane book. Thus, I'm determined to find and connect with others who can help develop/guide my understanding/skill/knowledge of wealth in order to become the best version of myself the universe would have me be so that I'm of maximum service to others & the world!
Current "Slow lane" Positioning:
Professionally, I've taken my passion and curiosity for technology/computers more seriously over the past few years, working as a freelance IT support technician & programmer, data center technician, systems/network administrator, and now junior DevOps engineer. I'm still very early on in my "traditional/slow-lane career," being 24 years old and having just stopped working in the kitchen industry four years ago. I've found I'm definitely drawn more to contributing to start-ups and small-sized teams rather than bigger corporations, though (nothing against big corps), and so that's just another one of the many internal indicators I've found pointing me towards acting in alignment with an entrepreneurial nature.
I'm looking forward to connecting and learning from others on how to maximize my usefulness to society and the world and contribute value wherever I can. I will also be reading the other recommended books to better participate, ask questions, answer questions, etc.
Much appreciated,
