So here's where my story will begin...
Age: 41
Marrital Status: Married
Children: 1 Age: 6
Employment: Software Company
Title: Manager
Salary: 100+K
Debt: mortgages on two homes.
Savings: 401K, a little savings
Shackled to a "career" I can't leave because I'm the sole breadwinner for my family.
Classic Slowlaner
Entrepreneurial Activities:
Currently own a vacation home that is cash flow even.
Have tried numerous startups, most left unfinished - non successful.
Read MJ's book last week - couldn't put it down - finished in 3 days.
For the past 72 hours I've been brainstorming ideas.
I've been carrying around a little notepad writing down each one.
Everything from physical products to internet concepts.
Last night one hit me like a blunt instrument knocking me to the floor.
On further thought I found it had a ceiling under 1 million.
I didn't love that. I began talking it through with my wife out loud.
That's when a light went off on how I could leverage it.
While the margins would go way down, I couldn't imagine a ceiling.
I will live free whether the root be this idea or another. I will keep my progress posted as a way to keep my focus on the finish line. I look forward to joining all of you on this path to living great!
