Just got premium at the last minute of discount offer
My name is Syed, I'm about 37 years old and a seasoned programmer earning decent income by developing software in UK.
If any folks reading this might wonder what the heck am I doing here? Or there's a lot of high paying contracting in software development, for them here's my short story.
Ps: pardon for any mis-understandings as English is not my first language,
My plain story on broadcast - who cares
It's all about my dream, to live my life on my conditions, not by those imposed by the so called BOSS of the corporate circus. I've been in that race 10 years now. At the beginning of that I enjoyed building career by developing software - and lived that time for almost 4 years working for a major banking and insurance software provider in Pakistan. Then all of a sudden I had a conflict with the management and I double quit from there at the peak of my career - this was the longest time I worked for one employer.
Cutting this short I moved from there switching company after company looking for a better deal or a more appropriate atmosphere for me to work. In 2008 I started to study some other books other than software. And there I came across some great authors like Dan Kennedy, Napoleon Hill, and Robert Kiyosaki. That totally changed my way of thinking and my approach to practical life (that also ruined the peace of staying within the comfort zone of a job security). I got infected by the disease of FREEDOMONIA and RICHONITIS.
Fast forward 3 years into 2011, I moved to UK with almost 0 money in hand with my family - so got myself an average paying software job to get stuck into the golden cages again. Getting myself little necessities for me and my family in UK - procrastinating day after day, dreaming someday I'll get RICH.
Forward 2 years into 2013 and I find myself in a very good global data processing company paying some attractive salary in this part of UK. But something was not write, and instead of being happy I find myself an ever astounding feeling of getting deep into s**t. I was not enjoying it instead was freaked out by the idea of how many more years I will have to slave myself to 9 - 5, or more accurately in my situation 9 to 7 or 8 or 9, even 10, 11, 12...
This was FREEDOMONIA starting to attack again. I was contaminated and simply not in for all of this now.
Moving further down into 2013 I started to look into on-line business opportunities. Researching one type of business to another - at the start of each every time I thought I got myself a magic trick to print money (but then my gut feeling of "THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME CATCH" kicked in) - leading me to look into flip side of the deal that soon exposed the fishy stuff in that.
Now if some of you folks managed to reach here in my story I do you guys a big big favour cutting all of my boring story short. Here I'm in the WA just signed in the last 3 minutes of the first month discounted offer. Still do not know where I will be heading from here, BUT am a bit sure that I want to progress a bit further into affiliate stuff, and cut down more of the opportunity hunt and do some real work.
Sorry guys If I have offended anyone's feeling. I'm not a blogger / writer or considers to be one, and do not consider my self in future making a writing career - but who knows. This was a.k.a my first blog post - all thanks to a button offered to me to by WA to create a blog post upon my upgrade to premium. Although I was not all in for this but somehow got pulled in :-). Just was an honest plain story of mine. And So consider it to be my 0.00000002 cents in this area.
End of my mind dump. Just wanted to say Hi.
Cheers,
Syed
(Would be a wow if I find any comments here to improve, or anything thanks)

The picture will become much more clear as you move forward Syed! It starts with a niche/passion/idea and your business will form from that simple idea. I like you, start as a complete newbie to all of this "online stuff" but I can assure you that you will be able to learn anything and you will be able to accomplish anything that you set your mind to.

I have couple of questions for you

Hey Khalid. Welcome to WA and to Premium. I too wanted my freedom, more than dreams of avarice untold. It took me 6-7 months, three busted niches and at least half-a-dozen abandoned websites, but I now work for myself online. Here's wishing you every success too. :) Rich.
