At the beginning of this year I was doing some basic forecasting and realized I have the pipeline filled and from this month onward never have to get back to a job ever again. Busier than ever, but free.
First I got back to TMF (before the weekend, on Audible), got on the hype train, patting myself that I hit every checkbox (more or less). I made it. It's still a micro-cash stream but enough to pay the house, feed the family, and have a small team in the business I'm building.
It took me YEARS to get here.
Today I woke up into reality. The day is the same as before the weekend. Grinding these leads into the system and keep building (nothing is legacy / passive yet). I skipped the gym, yoga, social events, often neglected my partner (for the cause-sake). I don't feel regret though.
Yesterday two old friends called me (coincidence).
One is a slowlaner. Making good salary in IT and drinking his way into oblivion every day. 40 years old and now buying entertainment crap like a PlayStation 2 with 200 games or Casio watches... just to feel something?
The other friend is someone I know since I was 18. We always kept lightly in touch. He chose to not work EVER. Got a wife doing the job while he raised the children. Now his wife wants more time and wants him to work. He started a job for 20 hrs but "did not like it" and "wants to quit" - basically the reason for calling was to ask me permission.
These two events pulled me out of some sort of peer group I still was part of. I know end of this year my reality is 180 different, full of opportunities.
I feel lonely in this journey. Don't know many people on this path.
I'm glad to reconnect to this forum and just wanted to share this development.
Do people recognize this? Building my biz took almost everything and I don't know how to "relax" anymore. I currently feel a fear of losing what I've built, as if someone comes in and takes everything. It's like walking into a room and thinking it's boobytrapped.
BTW: I will build a home gym next month. That might be a good first step
