Creating a ‘life of choice’

Hello forum,

Probably not totally appropriate for this forum but I have to start somewhere.

With all great starts, comes knowledge. Well at least in my case comes the beginning of something new with what appears to be long and a daunting road ahead with a few hard and fast cross roads (decisions) on the horizon. So where do I start??? Only as recently as 4 months ago, I purchased my first home computer and finally got connected to the internet which was actually inspired by chance in reading Steve’s book ‘From 0 to 130 Properties in 3.5 Years’ back in Nov 04. The book triggered the realisation in me of feeling like a slave having to survive in the community of mundane working life and paying off a 25yr mortgage. The same thing day in and day out with tomorrow’s prospects looking the same as yesterdays and the weeks before that. I guess you say a ‘rut’ in life I didn’t realise I was in and could not remember when my working life stopped being fun. I remember getting my first job all very excited but the excitement and challenge disappeared somewhere along the way without notice. Then the light came on reading the book. With an interest in bricks & mortar, I starting questioning my so call dream of creating a ‘life of choice’ by coming to the conclusion that I could actually take steps with the possibility of turning this dream into reality without having to wait for that lotto win. I don’t know how thing will turn out, but I feel that I am now at a point, after housekeeping my finances to some extent, ready to kick start and tackle the fear and unknown in moving forward. I have been reading some of the posts in this forum and comforted to see many others have ventured down a similar path I am about to embark upon, that is “real people” making a real difference in their ‘life of choice’. So knowledge I am embarking upon and hope to contribute in my next post by helping out someone else.

Thanks to Steve’s book for my wakeup call…..
