My background

Ok, so we're one day into the challenge and I must say I'm feeling quite excited as well as a little daunted by this challenge that I've set myself. I have a tendancy to succeed at just about everything I do, and if what I'm proposing to do is possible then I can find a way to make it work.

I studied both computer science and psychology and have completed various other diplomas/certifications in modalities that are very closely linked to the psychology side of things. Included in these is NLP and Coaching. My career took me into the IT world of computer programming and I got to be quite good at what I did, but... I was working an 80 hour week in the end, and that was just Monday through to Friday, and there were times when I was on call for those '3am, leap in the car and get my proverbial butt into the office' duties because the web servers were giving error messages, and heaven help me if the boss were discover 'down-time' when he came into the office in the morning. So now I'm self employed, and have been for 3 years. AND I managed to fulfill my dream of having a child in that time. Quite an achievement, if I say so myself.

BUT, I still fit into the left hand side of the quadrant (for Employees and Self Employed), according to Robert Kiyosaki's well known "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". ...and he's right! It DOES take some time to get one's head around what's needed to move into the right hand side of the quadrant.

So now I'm going to get myself onto the right hand side of the Cashflow Quadrant (for Business Owners and Investors). Keep visiting this blog and I'll keep you posted about my journey to freedom.
