Hello everyone!
I've always been considering myself as someone who is relentlessly looking for the ways of self-growth/self-development. I've been reading different books on goal-setting, increasing efficiency, improving the quality of life etc. I got a good job in a big corporation right after graduation at 20, started gradually climbing up the corporate ladder. Working hard paid off in some ways as I had the opportunity to work in the States and now move to London (as you can guess I am from Kazakhstan). On the flipside my job was sucking the life out of me - a daily schedule from 9 to 5 became a dream cause my normal working hours sometimes pass well beyond 10-11 pm. The weekends became a chance to catch up on my sleep. In the last couple years I started feeling that I can't continue to live that way until my retirement. All books on financial planning had one common theme - save 10%, invest and hope that by the age of 60 hope that you've accumulated enough to retire, which wasn't attractive at all. So last week I've been browsing Amazon bookstore in the hope to find a decent book on business and stumbled upon Unscripted by MJ DeMarco. I read some reviews and my inner voice said to give it a try. Once I started reading the book I couldn't put it aside. I've been reading it in my commute, in my walk to the office or even when I was brushing my teeth! The wonderful thing for me was that I came to the same conclusions on my own regarding hyper realities, consumerism, the role of corporates/media in creating the distorted reality where owning the "stuff" can buy happiness etc. I am completely on board regarding the will of young generation to receive immediate results without putting much effort. I am proponent of a principle that success is the result of hard work, discipline and persistence to achieve good results in the long run. No pain no gain!
Although I never considered myself a business-person or potential entrepreneur I am committed to apply the advices given in Unscripted to transform my life, build something valuable which as a side effect will deliver financial freedom.
Thank you for reading my introduction!
