Hello Everyone! New Nube. Would love a Mentor if Possible. Hope to contribute MUCH soon!
I guess I am the latest Nube on the block! I kinda stumbled upon this community after reading an ebook that I stumbled upon on the net by, Jordan Matthews. I am not going to give the name of the book here in this forum because I don't want to be considered a troll trying to market a product. If you are interested in what I have, just email me and I will send it to you free. That's how I obtained it, so I'll share....
Anyways, the book got me back to a place where I was really considering doing the IM thing. It seems as if my background would be perfect for it. I have an undergraduate degree in Fine Art and I have an MBA. I guess this means I'm creative, analytical and shrewd to boot! I worked in IT for a number of years so i guess I am a bit of a computer nerd. I am proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash, A little bit of Flex, CSS and PHP. I have taken the past year to bone up on my computer skills again so that I can get back into IT. I am currently a government auditor..YUK! Anyhow, the other day after reading the ebook, it hit me like a friggin thunderbolt!!! Why am I doing all of this freshening up of my skills, just to get another J.O.B. Just over Broke?! I should be working on my dream of being finacially independent.
I have decided to take everything I have learned over the years especially this past year, and use those things towards my dream.
So, here I am....Ready to sit at the masters feet to learn all that I can. I am just "A_Kommon_Man" trying to feed his family( a wife and two teenage daughters) and pursue his dream.
I hope that someone will agree to be a mentor to me. I will not waste your time and if there is something that you think that I can help you with, feel free to ask me. I am CONNECTED all the time. I am either on the computer or on my Blackberry.
Please don't be put off by my questions. I like to have clarity on things so, I may tend to look for specifics within an answer.
Also, I love to help people! I believe in the priciple that you get what you give. So, the quicker I get up and running, the quicker I will be able to give back.
Anyways, here I am. I am ready to jump in. I am glad to be part of all this.
Best regards!
