I am 31 living at home after working jobs in the "slow lane" during my 20's... Now, over $360,000 in debt from med expenses I am ready to stop "thinking of the PERFECT venture" to start rather START!
Not to brag but other brief background about myself (not proud of majority of these facts):
- Parents pushed me in school hardcore to the point I basically never did ANY work/studied starting in 7th grade.
- Was a fat kid/teen who never got girls attention or lost my virginity until I was 20.
- Got hooked lifting weights at 20, realized my genetics and started obsessing on bodybuilding.
- By 24 I was on hormones all year, was slaying hot girls even after I met (later married an ex playmate), was a property & casualty insurance agent consistently making 7-9k a month plus selling hormones.
- Partied HARD almost any time I was not working or lifting. Friday night flights to Chicago or Vegas after work to party until arriving back home on Monday mornings on no sleep just pure adderall to keep up then straight to work.
- Had an ingrown toenail that had to be removed one day randomly... That night I took some meds (along with my abusive drugs/hormone daily usage). Woke up 2 weeks later in the hospital. Couldn't talk, walk, feeding tubes along with restraints holding me to the hospital bed, and more..
- 2 months later I was released from the hospital, had no insurance, wife divorced me shortly after since the money tap wasn't flowing. Lost or basically didn't argue or fight for any of material items in the divorce... Just wanted out to fresh.
- Had to move into my mom's house again since I needed full time help during physical rehab. I was HUNGRY and more driven than I have ever been in my life... Once you realize you should be dead or had under 5% chance of survival, fear of failure is a joke.
- Spent a few years paper trading non stop, recorded the markets charting to replay ever night/weekend to analyze how to become the EXTREMELY RARE day trader who consistently profited. Often spend 18-20 a day doing such and used stimulants to help pull this off.
NOW, completely burned off from trading, I have always dreamed/researched ideas for business ventures to start yet never had the balls/mindset to follow through with any... The last year I my brain has been in lah lah land and I have not made any income/attempted...
The spark inside of my recently exploded and I'm full of drive that needs to turn into action for once in my life, otherwise I'd rather end this game we call life...
Sorry for the long post, probably WAAAAY to much personal info but I gave up girls/friends/socializing/even spending holidays with family as I feel I'm so far behind plus feel the need to be productive every waking minute... Problem I'm guilty of trying to find the "perfect" idea again...
Now, I am starting to put my ideas into action even some of the most random.
Glad to be here...
