<aside> 🤔 How it is never late, even for slow learners like me!

</aside>

When I was 25 and about to start my very first company, I assumed that within 10 years I would be filthy rich, would be able to step out of the daily grind and retire, if I so wished.

10 years later, that is not the case.

Don’t get me wrong, I have decent income, have bought a modest home in Sydney and am able to enjoy the small pleasure of life, but no where close to my early dreams.

Until I reached 30s, I had a superiority complex and ‘know-all’ attitude. I believed in my potential to be better than everyone else and could easily achieve any success that others had. Could I have been more wrong (hat-tip to Chandler Bing 😄).

The journey has taught me a lot, but critically it has taught me what I am not.

It has taught me that I had to learn a lot and also that I am not a fast learner. I learn by doing and failing and trying again.

I most likely wont find success in my first go, but the second attempt is much better and hopefully a few more attempt will land me the success that I aspire to.

And I have started on that journey, reading books, learning and implementing, taking risks and regretting them, experimenting and failing, but never stopping.

Recently I watched a review about the book ‘The Millionare Fastlane’ and was impressed by the clear and simple explanation of ways of becoming a millionaire within a decade. Obviously I cannot do justice to the way Ali Abdaal explains it, so I am not going to try (and I assume the book will be much better and insightful to read).

But suffice to say, that I can relate to the approach in the book and aligns with my style. Surprisingly, I have already started working on some of these things and need a consistent approach to make concrete progress.
