Hello dear Fastlaners !

I'm writing you from France. It's almost noon and the sun is shining.

We have to hurry. Because my 15-months daughter is about to end her nap. My wife left for work one hour ago and won't be back before 9pm. Let's make it quick.

Backstory : I am 32 years old. I studied business (even spent one year in the US) and started immediately working as a freelance community manager. That was 10 years ago. Social media was only starting to get traction and I enjoyed it at the time.

As a freelancer, I've had ups and downs, making a living without working long hours. Didn't put too much effort in it because social media bored me quite fast and I was looking for my passion / vocation.

I am at a crossroad. I'm a dad now and I can't waste more time at my age. Sure, I can manage my time however I want. However my clients budget will decrease next month. It is time for me to build a business using the TUNEF framework.

My goal is to start getting some echos before September. So let's act.

Oh ! She woke up. Time to leave you. Talk to you soon !

Thanks for your reply MaxT ! Great to see another French here :)

I'm living in Alsace, and you ?


The thread about Newsletters caught my eye and convinced me to join the forum.

So building a newsletter will be my first attempt. Still pondering about writing in French or English.

A good day to you too !

I'm from Bretagne.
Yes I think newsletters are great, many use them here!

Here English is spoken in large majority, we can speak in Fr in private if you wish afterwards.

Good luck to you friend!

Hello guys,

I posted here one year ago. So much has changed. Here is my quick update.

- Quit trying to "build a business" (that was really only action faking)
- Ended my freelancer contracts (they didn't bring real value)
- Looked for a high demanded and paid field : Data (that is not my passion)
- Found a quite well paid job as a Data Analyst (to be paid to learn and find real problems to solve)
- Starting studying Data Science & Programming with edx.org

As I earn the best revenue in my life (compared to freelancing, as that is my real first job) :
- Paid off two debts
- Save about 30% of my income

This still was a difficult year. What really helped me to stay sane and focused :
- Been working out 1 hour 4 to 6 times per week (9 months at home, 3 months at the gym now)
- Lost about 8 kg in a year, got more muscle, more energy, more focus, more mental strength

Good to finally face the problems I've been avoiding for 10 years or more.
Having a child forces you to haha

See you next year ;)

Aarni

PS : Now that I took my responsibility, my wife could quit her shitty job, start studying and will start her dream job in November.
