Hello all,
I have been on the sidelines soaking in the goodness from this forum, and of course the books from MJ DeMarco. Part of me feels bad not taking action sooner, but another bigger part of me is ok with it. Explanation below:
In my 20s I was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer... had major surgery (Google peritonectomy + HIPEC) known as the MOAS (Mother Of All Surgeries). I didn't run in to MJ DeMarco until after this surgery, thanks to James Jani. When I read The Millionaire Fastlane & Unscripted last year, I thought my FTE was crystal clear. However I ran into serious troubles healthwise again not long after this with 24/7 pain and vomiting from bowel obstructions. To fix this, I needed another peritonectomy surgery to remove scar tissue blocking what remains of my bowel. I was 7 weeks in hospital, but am still recovering from it. The problem is this though: Just today have I had my real FTE. No matter how bad things were before, today I started having more pains that are directly related to the issues I had before. This means I know I don't have a lot of time before my next surgery. I am only just 30.
I have been relying on the fact that I am a partner in the family business, and get through OK to not have to worry too much about finances. But the fact remains that I am relying on my family to make sure my own family (Amazing wife + 2 kids) is looked after. I get a feeling so strong, and so deep inside of me that just screams "No more!". I have to get beyond "just surviving" quickly, and not depend on others to succeed.
I have been playing around with 3 different ideas, but today I decided to see what the market thinks of one of them. Currently I am waiting on some outsourced material before I publish my website that is ready and waiting. I don't have everything in place to be able to offer what I am selling on the website, but I have a "buy now" button and will see how many people sign up and click that button before I jump with this one particular idea. I will have the website live by the end of this week, and will market on Google and LinkedIn (Its B2B).
I will keep this thread updated. This is more for me... and even though it sounds like it, its not a sob story. I have been so aware of action faking in the past that I cannot tolerate it any longer.
Any encouragement and input is appreciated.
