Yup - from just outside Manchester, originally.
Debt free - it's the only way to not be a slave....anything else is just pretending - so as to avoid facing the piss poor reality of the situation (imo).
I've posted my second part !
(I didn't get as far as my travels yet!...doh! - I forgot to mention one of other 'entrepreneurial gigs' from landing that job I mentioned in this post..)
Ah Manchester, can see why you went away 😜 yeah agree with you there re debt. Hate the thought of having a debt chain around my neck for 35 years with a mortgage and having to stay in a job for time. But I'm not an entrepreneur so just gonna have to suck it up barring a miracle with crypto lol
Cool, I'll have a read later today!

But I'm not an entrepreneur...
You sure about that? (why not?)...where about in the UK ?
I'll set you up in your own gig !! lol...
Lots of opportunity everywhere - if you know how to look, and your not of a fearful mindset.
Nothing wrong with not being of the entrepreneurial bent, matey.
There are strengths in that also - again it's all about perspective.
(I couldn't have done half the things I'll be telling you about in these posts without having people of the non entrepreneurial mindset, being honest)
Well it might just be a confidence/conviction thing and who I surround myself with on a day to day. I have some ideas but I've suffered from the "jack of all trades" syndrome and probably spread myself too thin this year. In a bizarre twist of fate, all 4 of the major projects I was heavily involved with all came to an end this week so suddenly, I've got 4x the free time back for 2021 and could be just the ticket to dedicate some focus on one of those ideas that I feel most strongly about.
I'm in the South East, between Oxford and London.

That can really effect your perspectives...
(what kind of projects?- tech - or tangible?)
Why focus on the things you feel strongly about? (bias).
Are they compatible with what your're good at? (many times not they're the same thing).
The modern day adage of 'follow your passion' is self indulgent bullshit, imo.
That's vocational , not entrepreneurial , in it's nature.
I'm good at selling. ('was' rather - in a my life long ago...I'm sure I still 'have it' - if need be!lol)
What I sold was irrelevant.
If the product fit comfortably within within my own moral/ethical framework, then I'd sell the shit outta it!
The M4 corridor....nice.
My motivations for selling was to make money - for whatever particular reason at the time - I was passionate about making the sale - the product was always secondary.
Being brutally honest with yourself, and your motivations, is a good start.
Thanks for asking challenging questions, it's been eye opening.
Tangible but could easily be made in to a "tech" I guess - this one is a card game my friends and I invented out of boredom based around poker. We'll need to do some research on if there's a demand for new card games like it before we go all guns blazing!
Other than that, I'm pretty good at making games out of anything, even mundane shit so it's just a case of creating something that people want and find fun enough to keep coming back - got a few others in mind but that card game is at the top of the pile at the moment.
Yeah agreed with this - I always say that hobbies are there as an escape - if it turns in to a "job" then what are you going to do to escape...
Ditto, you feel like you can get behind a product if it aligns with your ethics.
Appreciate you getting back, let me know when your next blog is up in the series!
