Transforming my life form a software engineer to an Entrepreneur

[average]

<div class="bbWrapper">To be completely honest, before reading the book &quot;The millionaire fast lane&quot; my life goal was to just find a high paying job. That was how I pictured success, or rather that&#039;s how my family did. So you could imagine how shocked I was to know that I was living a lie. Reading the book changed my mentality and the way I think.<br /> I am currently a software engineer. I am sure I can code and make my own ideas and bring them to life. I am interested in online businesses and bringing value online either with services or apps.<br /> <br /> I am looking forward to getting inspired at this forum and get to know people like me and read their posts.<br /> <br /> Thank you <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">That&#039;s how I was too! I actually just graduated with my computer science degree, but I&#039;m not actively pursuing a rat race job. If you&#039;re interested in an online business model / service check out the lead generation stuff with Ippei kanehara, he&#039;s got some great info on his blog. Also MJ has done something similar to that as well before, but I&#039;d have to dig deeper to find out for sure so I don&#039;t totally put words in his mouth...check that stuff out though!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You guys dont even know how many startups look for a CTO. Its at the moment probably the best skill to have in entrepreneurship.<br /> <br /> Sometimes I wonder what could happen if we get 10 devs from this forum together and create an online business. I&#039;m on the other end. Tons of ideas in the medical space but not the technical abilities to create the product.</div>

I am also a software engineer by trade looking to get out of the scripted life. <br /> <br /> When you say you are interested in online business, do you want to build a SaaS product or do you want to be a consultant? <br /> <br /> Whichever one it is (or isn&#039;t), do you know people outside of software who need problems solved with software, and do they know you are a software engineer open to taking on projects to solve their problems?</div>
