Hi, my name’s Jason. I’m 36 years old and live in the United Kingdom.
Up until a few years ago I admit, I knew nothing about business. Why would I need to? Like most people I was always told that you need to work hard at school/college, find a good steady job, pay into your company pension and look forward to your retirement in forty years time.
I guess it was about eight years into my career when things changed. The pay rises had slowed right down, the next promotion was years away, redundancies were being made and stories were hitting the headlines about dwindling pension funds.
What I had been told about a job for life, secure pension, not taking financial risks and a whole load of other work and money related issues was turning out to be completely wrong.
Then came the life changing moment. Some call it the entrepreneur bug or the entrepreneurial seizure. This was when I realised that there was another way, an alternative to the 9 to 5 daily grind, an alternative to the old way of thinking. I realised I was never going to find freedom, fulfilment or wealth following the traditional path. Things were never going to be the same again.
This was an exciting yet scary moment, because like most people I find change a little frightening, but I knew some big changes had to be made. I also soon realised that before I could take action I needed to change my old, traditional, stale, outdated mindset and develop a new way of thinking about life, work, money and freedom.
I started to become extremely passionate about the business mindset and in the space of a few years I had read eighteen books on the subject, listened to hundreds of hours of business related podcasts. Joined forums, read blogs, you name it. I couldn’t consume enough business mindset information and I have to say, it was already changing my life for the better.
I quit my permanent job as a Software Engineer and went freelance, doubled my income and payed less tax. I started a few Internet businesses, bought some rental property and ditched my pension. My rental property is my new pension and the great thing is, the tenants pay for it, not me. I even bought a half share in a horse as an investment, which we’ll be entering into shows and selling later this year. Admittedly, it’s not quite the racehorse I really want.
Where I am at the moment is still not where I want to be. I need more passive income so I can work less and spend even more time doing the things I enjoy. This is only the start of my journey but since my complete change in mindset a few years ago things have sarted to change for the better.
Not only am I passionate about the business mindset, I feel it’s my duty to share what I’ve learned with others so they can change their lives too.
If you’re a 9 to 5 employee or a business owner yourself, but you still find you’re working too hard and have too little freedom then I know I can help. Wherever you currently are in your life, changing your mindset so that you think and act differently will change it for the better. You’ll find that freedom, fulfilment and wealth all start to head your way, and it’s exciting.
That’s why I created this website, that’s what I’m all about and that’s what I’m going to teach you, how to develop a business mindset and change your life for the better.
