Hi folks! I've read (well, listened to!) TMF twice. It's a long listen, but I love @MJ DeMarco 's style of writing / reading - gets me pumped!
I lived in the US for 12 years, before being 'removed' back to the UK in 2011 after my chequered past finally caught up with me. I miss the US with a passion, and fully intend to return. The legal costs of doing so are extremely high, and this led me into my own mission to "make money" so I could afford the quality legal representation I will need. It's important to me because my wife and daughter were born in the US; they currently live in the UK with me, but are homesick as all heck.
I've built a pretty decent income over the past 6 years and have managed to rebuild my life such that we live in a nice area, my kids go to a private school, we drive a nice car, and we travel lots. But my long-term aspirations are to build a £25mm consulting firm over the next 5 years, and also to build a software outsourcing company based in Panama to service US companies with affordable offshore outsourcing.
This past 6 months have been a real whirlwind for me, and I've gone through (well, still going through!) a total transformation! I've lost weight (on purpose!), and crushed many goals. One of which was to listen to an audiobook a week while walking; it was only a matter of time before TMF was downloaded to my iPod!
I'm also in the process of writing a book, to be published by end of Q2 2017, and am off to Vietnam next week (end of April 2017) to record some videos and interview software outsourcing companies out there. It's all part of my strategy to establish myself as an authority in my field of business, something necessary if I am ever going to hit my revenue goals.
While the TMF mindset was not entirely new to me when I read (listened to!) it, it definitely expanded my thinking. I finally joined the forum once it occurred to me that I might actually make some solid connections here on this forum, some who I could help, and others who might be able to help me.
OK, that's about it! Looking forward to getting to know many of you better of the coming months and years.
Cheers!
