Today was my first day of freedom and I am 46 years old. My last day at my corporate job was yesterday. I had been with that company for 8 years and had been in the industry for 25 years.
I read the book 3 years ago and started from there. I had never built a website, never sold anything online, and at the time wouldn't have known what Google Analytics was if it feel into my lap!
My wife and I both had full time jobs when we started this journey. Luckily we have been able to build this as a team. She left her full time job after a year and a half and ran with it from home while I continued to work. I also enjoyed a 2 hour commute each day back and forth to work! Our goal was to be able to replace both of our incomes before I left.
Speaking of work, it has been A LOT of work. THREE YEARS of non-stop work, 7 days a week. Countless hours day and night of researching, building, shipping orders and the list goes on. Along the way there have been victories, failures, tears, and laughter. There were many times we thought of quitting but always pushed it to the back of our minds.
With that said I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this forum that I have learned so much from. I also want to thank everyone behind the scenes that have helped us out. I don't post here very often. I just don't have time! I don't know how some of you guys do it with your amazing progress threads!
So if you think your too old to get started, you're not. I have seen posts on here saying "I am 35, should I even try to start?" "I am 40, it's too late for me". Forget that, just start putting one foot in front of the other and you will get there!
We are not in the Fastlane yet but heading in the right direction! Maybe we can retire by the time we're 50. Maybe by 55. Who knows. At least we will be able to get there on our own terms.
Ramble On guys and gals.......
