Hi all,
I've been a slowlaner following the script for almost 40 years. I've worked hard and achieved a lot but never quite reached financial freedom.
I've tried corpo, smaller companies, even bootstrapped startups, hoping to find... something. And it ticked many of my boxes. It was fulfilling, exciting, demanding and taught me a lot. I've met many great people, lived on several continents, been to places and done things many probably only think of from the comfort of their homes.
Yet I've always worked for someone else. Trading my time for money. Without much control and personal scalability. Trapped with a middle class income and building someone else's dreams.
I can't pinpoint the exact event that sent me on a path to look for a different angle. I suppose I've been searching and trying for years, it's just that I didn't have a map.
Until I found @MJ DeMarco's books and this forum. What a source of inspiration and practical knowledge! I spent countless nights reading Gold and Notable threads, taking notes and looking for more answers. Not an easy task to find each relevant piece of the map but well worth it. Thanks a lot for sharing and keeping this place alive.
So here I am, late to the table but wanting to dive in and learn by doing.
