Hi everyone,
I'm Gappie. I'm 29 years old. After reading The Fastlane Millionaire I thought I'd come and check the forum out. It seems like an uplifting place to be at, so I'm here to give it a go! I seek to join a community of entrepreneurs to find answers and in my time provide answers. I say that, because I haven't practically started my entrepreneur journey yet. Currently I'm noticing a mindset shift and I'm looking around for business ideas. I try to consume less and seek ways to produce more. However, it's a process.

Nice to be here! Let me know if you want to know more, I'd be happy to respond.
