Hello to you all,
My name is Demaine I would firstly like to thank MJ DeMarco for the books and for the forum which are inspiring me on a new journey.
A little about why I'm here:
I was a huge believer in the do what you love lifestyle choice.
However after over 20 years in the workplace and many attempts at different idealistic pursuits, I have finally realised I have got it wrong.
Although I won't go into detail on all of my endeavours over the years. I will mention one that had a big impact.
Around 10 years ago I decided to become a Helicopter pilot.
To obtain the commercial license is around $80K, which I didn't have. So I got a loan, dumb idea I know! But I learned my lesson.
Anyway I did manage to complete the training.
However learning more about the commercial world of helicopters, everything is timed to the second and flights are mostly mundane and repeative.
You're basically just a glorified bus driver.
I knew I had made big mistake, the thing I loved most about flying was the feeling of freedom but when it becomes a job it's not the same.
So long story short, I understood passions don't always make good careers.
So here I am, realising that working for someone else is not the way to go and trying to live life by my own terms by living the unscripted lifestyle.
Thankyou to everyone on the forum.
Regards
Demaine
