Hello all,
I've spent a few days reading some of the content on this forum before I decided to venture in and join the conversation. It seems like there's a lot of folks here doing quite well for themselves and have made significant deposits in this tremendous database of knowledge. Therefore, as I'm sure happens with most new folks here, I'm simply seeking some advice.
I'd like to begin to dabble in the world of IM, but like most people new to this, I don't really how to find that single passion of mine that's also salable. In fact, I don't know if I can even identify my own passions! I recently got my MBA (yesterday was the ceremony, so REALLY recently) and that endeavor along with my career and marriage have absorbed all of my time for the past few years. I've not really had any time to pursue any interests! Now that I'm out of school, I need something that will keep me engaged and something that I can share that will help others. I am not the type of guy who is going to come home and sit in front of the TV all evening.
Problem is, as I mentioned, I haven't had time for a few years now to figure out what it is I really like doing. That's why I need your help. I'll tell you a little bit about me and maybe you can point me in the right directions.
I am a young man with a disability (a type of muscular dystrophy) who holds an undergrad in philosophy and an MBA in finance. I like to golf, even though I'm absolutely terrible at it, and I'm finally getting the opportunity to getting back into regular exercise. My wife and I love traveling and try to leave the country once a year. I suppose if I could identify one thing I really love to do is travel, but I know that this is an incredibly saturated market. I have considered starting a blog in traveling for disabled people, but that naturally limits my market and I'm not sure what kind of online coursework could be offered to that market.
To all who read this, thanks for sticking through this with me. I would welcome questions as, again, I really don't know where to begin. It's funny, really. I spent a couple years of my life with my nose in books learning how to be a good corporate employee. Now that I've been in the corporate environment for a while, I am beginning to figure out that I want to find better ways in my life to help others and make money as an outcome.
