Wantrepreneur from Louisiana

[jrace4fun]

Hello, my name is Jason. I'm a father of two young boys, a husband, and pilot. I currently live in Baton Rouge but will be moving this summer because of my wife's job. I spend my time raising my boys, flying small airplanes, and reading this forum. Well, I might do a few other things too like garden, shoot guns, and refresh the Drudge Report.

In the past I have mainly just roamed around the forum but now I'm going to be more involved. I want to share my experiences with others so that they can hopefully keep from making the same mistakes I have made in the past. Oh man have I made some mistakes.

Here are my wantrepreneur credentials; I have started two businesses that turned into miserable jobs, I've read a copious amount of entrepreneur books, and I have a note book full of business ideas. The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? I sure hope so.

I am looking forward to putting my signal on and moving over into the fastlane.

Welcome to the forum

Well, at least you've already tried starting a business. The majority of people never start, only think about it. As long as you learn from your mistakes, all is good

Oh, just now noticed that you joined in 2012 maybe "welcome to the forum" isn't the right thing to say... better would be "thanks for your introduction"

hey in all fairness to you, you did something and it seems like if you "created two miserable jobs" then you had paying customers. That's miles ahead of most. I'm kind of in the same boat. Financially I do very well but my business is all about me. If I leave it's over. Good luck to you!

Yes, I've been lurking around for awhile. I'm going to start participating more from this point forward.

I learned a long time ago how to make money via labor, now I'm ready to figure out the passive income equation.
