Hey everyone,
After stumbling on this forum just an hour ago, I decided this is the place I want to be a part of in order to boost my knowledge and motivation on the road to wealth.
A quick introduction:
I'm a Dutch guy who recently turned 24. After finishing "highschool" I finished 2 IT studies all the while feeling it wasn't for me. Having a dad in the same field and starting off working (playing) with pc's at a young age, the choice was obvious.
While having gained a lot of knowledge in the IT field, the only thing I really enjoyed (and is self taught) is photo and video editing. Even though I enjoy messing around with this, I can't picture myself working in a field related to this (or a "9-5", for that matter).
About half a year ago I ended up on Quora and started reading, a lot. I started to buy books("Mastery", "zero to one" , "Outliers", "Choose yourself", "Richest man in Babylon", etc) and read some more. I realized it is up to me to turn my life into how I imagine it; no one is going to do it for me.
I knew I didn't want to start a job in the IT field, even though it was the only thing I knew, so I decided to take some time off. I picked up 2 part-time jobs and saved some money before traveling for a few months.
Upon arriving back home, opportunity presented itself. I registered myself as an entrepreneur and I'm currently working on flipping cars, together with a friend who has a dealership.
Apart from this I am looking into how to "set aside my gold" to let it work for me; I spend little and having it in my checkings account does nothing for me.
I've already browsed through a lot of interesting topics and discussions here and am looking forward to dive into a lot more.
Feel free to ask me anything.
To end with a cliche quote:
We are a product of our environment. Surround yourself with people who are going to lift you higher.
