Hey everyone!
Kind of been lurking around the forums for the last few weeks after coming across it on google. Just wanted to get a feel for how things are and see what goes on around here. Needless to say I am happy to have stumbled upon this forum. Everyone here seems like they are all headed in the right direction and give great advice, and the success stories are amazing. It's almost reassuring to see how many other people out there are trying to break out of the norm and become self made. So I finally made an account, and here I am, lol.
A little about me: I'm from North Jersey just 15 mins outside of Staten Island, NY. In my early 20's. Have a diploma in Electrical Technology, so by trade I'm an electrician I guess you could say? Never wanted to do it as a career, just something to fall back on and gain some experience in. Put off college ever since I graduated from high school, which was a huge mistake IMO. So I now want to go and get my BS in Business Management and International Business. Although college can't teach me the talents I already possess, I still want to further my education and feel it's the right thing to do. Growing up I always had a sort of "Entrepreneurial" mindset I guess you could say, and just over the last 2 years realized that being a confined human being of the 9-5 grind and having a superior my whole life was not going to be me.
I want far more out of life then that and the things I would like to acquire and experience in life will not come from relying on someone else for a paycheck but relying on myself to make it happen. Basically I don't want to die an average life and realized I'd rather "do things now that most people won't do, so I can live the rest of my life like most people can't" (Yes, I know I quoted Don from Secret Enourtage, lol). I started a little tech company recently mainly focusing on apps for the iPhone/iPad (Yes, another one of those guys.) Although I don't plan on becoming the next Chad Mureta or Allen Wong (but anything is possible, I can't predict the future) I'd simply just like to generate a decent amount of ROI off a "small" investment from some apps and then from there use it to invest into other ventures/markets/projects...
Anyway that's about it. Sorry if that was too long lol, just figured I'd open up with a decent informed intro, rather then leave you guys kind of clueless and another one of those "Hi, from _______, looking to _______," kind of threads. None the less glad to be here and can't wait to create future friendships with like minded individuals! Feel free to ask any questions! Thanks guys!
