I'm from Accra, Ghana. 38, going on to 39 in less than two months. Married and have a 3-year old boy, with one on the way.
I started my career in the telecom world as an RF Planning & Optimization engineer, but quickly caught the "entrepreneurial seizure" (as Michael Gerber would say) and jumped ship to start my own IT consulting company.
My dream at the time was to build a so-called "lifestyle business", and, unfortunately, that's exactly what I built. Shocker
In the past 2 years I've dabbled in everything IT: from running an outsourced helpdesk... to... infrastructure management... to... general consulting to certification tutilage... to... more recently, running (and selling) my own tiny web hosting + design business.
Now that my vagabonding life has ended... now that I have a family... my dream, or perhaps my "lifestyle" has changed.
I'm unable to be (and frankly, I don't enjoy being) the bull-dog engineer I once was anymore: a one-man gang on call 24x7, climbing towers, and willing to spend an entire day to a solve tricky problem to save a client $100!
I want to be able to use my varied tech skills, can-do problem-solving spirit, and passion for teaching to help exponentially more people... instead of doing in-person IT support for a handful of tiny businesses in my locality.
It was doing one of these "conversations" that one of my mentors recommended I read MJ's book, The Millionaire Fastlane (along with four other books he recommended)... and that's how I got here
Right now I'm still in the design phase of my "next life", and I'm hoping this forum will be the help-and-be-helped supporting community I can sail away with.
Thanks to MJ for the gift of wisdom you share in your books, and for providing and nurturing this community.
Thanks to all of you who have shared your nuggets of wisdom here, and to all the moderators who help to administer this big community.
And thanks to YOU... for reading my introduction!
