Hi dear fellow fastlaners, I'm DDY and it's my pleasure to join TFF.
First of all I'd love to thank MJ for such an awesome book and community. After all, he is the real reason why we're all here in this great place full of like-minded individuals who unite in pursue of one common goal.
I, like many of you, have been hitting my head against the same wall over and over...
Go to College,
Land a Safe Job,
Loan Your Way Up,
Work to Pay The Debts...
Yeah sure! Let's all do that!
While I rapidly learned there are other ways to move forward in financial terms, it definitely wasn't easy nor painless to change my inner paradigm. I've been pursuing FL opportunities since my childhood, but was often taught to rely on other's opinions, not to trust in my own instinct, and to live the same life everyone else does.
Today I know there's really nobody to blame. This is just the way mainstream society is conformed, and there are many reasons for that which are beyond the scope of this introduction.
Short after starting Engineering I also began working freelance. I was the kinda guy who would work my a$$ while studying, save during the whole year, and then travel during the breaks somewhere like Thailand or Argentina. Finally, I dropped out of college while researching for my paper, took a job in the area of my career just to see if I really liked it, and quit three months later.
Since then, I started focusing on my freelance career and did quite well. But there was something missing, there always was a missing piece in my mindset. So in the spirit of entrepreneurship and substantial 'guru' advice I started a new path in business. With no responsibilities and a steady income from my freelance job there was nothing to lose, right?
First I was doing local biz. I started a Deli Shop, it was looking good but I violated the commandment of Entry and Time, busted! I decided to move on.
Back in the drawing board I went brainstorming and created a new brand around my freelance skills. I was intending to teach others those skills and charge for it. So I quickly built everything up, ran a proof of concept and guess what? It didn't live up to my expectations...I was still tied to my own Time, and the Need wasn't big enough to hire people and Scale it up.
After two big fails I felt ready to learn from my mistakes and make things better. Today I run an almost passive-income business in the gaming industry that pays my bills while violating the Control commandment (it is a third-party service so I'm tied to the owner's regulations).
THIS IS WHEN I READ TMF (got to know MJ from his CENTS video in FightMediocrity YT channel)
Nowadays, I'm already de-brainwashed and it's been more than a year around here, reading, learning and applying all your wonderful insight into my own processes. I'm currently saving a lot, developing the infrastructure to outsource my gaming business, and doing some preparations to move to another place safer and with more opportunities for me and my family.
I still consider myself a low earner, but my life quality is great. I live in a very depressed economy and have had to do many sacrifices in order to succeed, i.e., spend like a homeless, invest every penny in either my own or my business growth.
My immediate goals are to transform my freelance career, it has all the requirements to become a CENTS business and it already SUCS
. Also to be moved out completely by next year, and look for real estate as investment in my new location.
I've actually been here for more than a while. So my real breakthrough is finally realizing how important it is to belong and share with this unique community which is like NO OTHER. And believe me...I've been there, done that, Multiple Times!
There's No Other Like This One So Please...
If you just came here, have been for a while, or haven't decided yet if it's up to your 'standards' let me make this easier for you:
DO IT, just DO IT! Do not look any further, just DO IT!
Credits to MJ...
Back up, in the long-term I have a franchise concept to work on. It's feasible and bullseye in all terms, so please wish me the best in order to bring it to your city soon.
Now, to spur things up catch this gem!
¿What would you do if you could legally profit from all sources of income tax free?
This is going to be my situation real soon, so if you have any idea or just want to have fun with the implications please comment below.
Thanks to you all for your time, I expect to be here often sharing and learning from the community!
All the best,
-DDY
