U.S. Marine joining the Fastlane!

[jjspano]

I'm in my late 20's, served in the Navy for 4 years, worked in counter-terrorism when I got out, started a small company with my buddy doing GMB pages and Google Ad campaigns. We had a small amount of success with it (A few clients, but we weren't bringing in enough money + ran out of cash) so I went back to work and college. In college I met a Marine Corps recruiter, now I've been in the USMC for 1 year.

My goal is to learn copywriting so that I can earn my base pay ($2k per month) from my computer while still in the military and not have to re-enlist but instead scale up a profitable, location-independent business from my laptop. I'm married and looking to use geo-arbitrage to my advantage by living in South America and earning in USD.

That's me and the direction I'm headed towards, glad to be here. Also, I'm reading TMF at a rapid pace + taking copious notes. I can't wait to put this stuff to action. Thanks, @MJ DeMarco
