I've read so many self-help/financial management/investing/get rich slow books that I could puke. I actually threw one across the reading area of B&N when it got to the part about "not buying latte's anymore".
I'm completely self-taught and self-made, professionally, but still in the slow lane. I learned everything I needed to learn by myself (IT & Web Dev), and was earning 3x what my college-grad friends made, but still in a "job" and slowlane. Tired of kissing a$$, only to be laid off by those much dumber than me.
When I started reading, I knew, MJ, that you were speaking my language. You had me at:
Thank you for inspired writing and clear, honest direction. Finally.
Looking forward to being involved here.

I'm completely self-taught and self-made, professionally, but still in the slow lane. I learned everything I needed to learn by myself (IT & Web Dev), and was earning 3x what my college-grad friends made, but still in a "job" and slowlane. Tired of kissing a$$, only to be laid off by those much dumber than me.
When I started reading, I knew, MJ, that you were speaking my language. You had me at:
- The slamming a certain person who spews financial lessons written in dung. Her name rhymes with "floozy". Additionally, her voice annoys the crap out of me.
- The shotgun blast to the ethos of the "college dream". I left college early. Always felt bad about it somehow, despite confirmation that I myself was an example of "breaking the mold". Not anymore.
- The kicking to the curb of the ideas of a certain Hawaiian guy who talks about wealthy and poor father figures.
- The general confirmation of all my thought nuggets about business, that I never allowed myself to articulate due to the slow-lane noise in my head. You're the only one who dotted those i's for me.
Thank you for inspired writing and clear, honest direction. Finally.
Looking forward to being involved here.
