Trying to escape the slow lane...

[orvvro]

After finishing university 2 years ago, I hoped I'd get my own business off the ground with a genius idea I didn't have. I tried to self-teach but didn't have discipline, and got distracted easily. Eventually my father told me I had to pay rent if I didn't start working, and I could live with them for free if I started working. So I started working full time as a software engineer and consultant (C/C++, Python among many other things).

I turned 24 last Friday and realized that I don't want to continue like this... My circumstances are relatively great: I can work remotely, made good profits with stocks and crypto, hardly have any liabilities and 0 debt. This is the perfect moment to start my own business, and today I even got a sign from above; I got rejected for 2 client projects this morning, right after starting to read the millionaire fastlane yesterday. Time to quit my job and start my own business! Still have a lot of reading to do. You'd say I'm off to a good start, but I'm lacking the mindset (and obviously, I'm also lacking the support from family). Goal now is to just get anything off the ground, doesn't need to be some genius AI-infused 3d-model generator kind of idea. Still have no concrete idea though. I hope to connect with people on this forum and learn a lot. Have a great day
