Hey guys!
Just thought I'd introduce myself after reading other introduction posts.
Names Chuck, currently 26 years old and in the middle of setting up an e-commerce business.
This is the first time I have felt on the right path after being the first in my family to drop out of university (twice). Everyone has a degree, mum , dad, cousins, grandparents....everyone. I'm the black sheep and my family has given me hell for it, they have the belief that without a degree you are nothing in our society.
I felt so lost for so long! I felt like such a failure going from one crappy job to the next, at the time I still had the same beliefs as my family. This culminated in what I call my quarter life crisis. This crisis ended up in a psychotic episode resulting in me being admitted into a psych ward for 3 months.
Although it was a tough time and what I call ROCK BOTTOM, a friend sent me a book 'the power of now' by Eckhart Tolle. This book opened my mind to new ideas and beliefs and led
to a fascination with the self-help section of the book shops.
Although my family laughed and sneered at me reading books such as 'think and grow rich' and 'the science of getting rich' these books slowly gave me hope that I can be a success and that success isn't solely defined by having a degree.
I have now realised that I am not a victim of life and that I can change my life by changing my mindset. I am now so driven and am putting my all into making my business a success! I might be the black sheep in my family but I'm going to be the black sheep that lives in the fast lane.
I found this forum by accident but I personally don't believe in coincidences. I have read the first 3 chapters of 'millionaire fastlane ' and loved it!!! The full book should be arriving tomorrow!!
I am glad I found this forum, I might not have the support of my family in being an entrepreneur but there's you guys!! I cant wait to learn from everyone!
Let's do this!!!
