Introduction to the start of my Journey

in introduction •  8 years ago 

Hello People,

Well I'd like to introduce myself my name is The Pirate, and I'm here to blog my journey to my goal...

Before I tell you about my goal let me tell you about myself;
I'm probably like most of you here got fooled into wasting my time and went to university for 5 years to get a degree which doesn't seem to help me in any way to get employed in my field of study, the words "do you have any experience spring to mind", after countless job interview one slipped through the cracks (after countless lies of previous job experience that is) and landed me a job in a reputable company...finally something to be proud of after all those gruelling years in high school and those late nights in university most likely only helping fund the Red bull enterprise to ensure I average a high GPA, dating some girl for 5 years because it was the social convention and was the way of life, so I was taught.

I guess I grew up like any other kid with parents from another background coming to a western country. I don't blame my parents for the lie they instilled upon me, I blame myself for not educating myself. They didn't know any better all they knew was school, uni, job, get married and have kids and forever repeat the cycle. Helping my parents in the family business was a burden incorporated from birth there was no escaping that. My girlfriend being rejected by my parents because she wasn't of the same descent... I guess I would have to thank them now looking back I would have ended up a mindless drone if I was stuck with her. Anyway.

My first day, I get allocated my cubicle next to a guy named Tom which looked like he just rolled out of bed and Jessica who looked like she was a nice lady although the thinking out loud drove me insane. Two weeks 3 days 4 hours 23 seconds later I stood up looked around at the programs and the mortgage shoppers (other people working there if you didn't get that) and all I saw was hell, so I packed up my stuff and walked out and asked the receptionist to send my dearest apologizes to the manager for wasting his time.

I travelled to a few cities after that LA, San Fran, Nevada, Brazil, Peru, Thailand, Singapore, Dubai, Lebanon, Japan and Canada spent every cent I had and returned to the place I left from Australia.
Which brings me to this day and my goal. I'm sure most of you have a similar goal... my goal is to become the 8 Figure Man! I am 29 years of age and hold no hard assets and have minimal debt. I hold a stock portfolio of $80,725 AUD which I manage myself which was higher although taking a smashing after trump got selected to lead and $400 in my bank. I work 2 jobs only to fund my exporting business that I am trying to get up and running, and I build websites (btw which I taught myself from the abundant sites that help you learn for a small fee and a quarter of the time, Not like the student loan that was handed to me as well as the piece of paper when I was standing in front of my ever so proud parents and the rest of the university).

So I have many other stories to share although I think I will stop here, I will endeavour to blog weekly but definitely fortnightly.

If you have got this far thank you... I will be here next week to tell you more about my past and future endeavours.

As for now The Pirate is out...
