Day 3 - Big Brain Walk Challenge...

@Joseph Isosaki I don't track but I know what I ride... :-) Monday: 10 Miles cycling before work Tuesday: 20 Miles cycling to the office Wednesday: 20 Miles cycling to the office Thursday: 2 Miles walking before work Today: 10 Miles cycling before work So according to your calculation, I'm now missing 8 Miles walking / 24 Miles cycling which I may achieve tonight or tomorrow if I take the time... Oh, does kayaking count too? Because it would a another 20 Miles ! ;-) Entrepreneurship... I'm now quite happy at Belden, participating to the development of new products as a project owner and again learning a lot of things, considering myself again as an "ever beginner" in every project, what I'm not but I'm tackling things quite the way I want at the moment and hope that the result will be as good and successful as I hope it will ! How about yours, I read about your progress but do you have the impression you're building what you wish? Or isn't it yet the path you are looking for? Happy to catch up !

@Joseph Isosaki thanks a lot for this. Happy to hear that it's finally taking of and I wish you to be successful with your next steps ! I can't complain now, it's technically challenging and there's clearly more than that in this journey where I can learn a lot and make contact with plenty of new people, which is very cool ! Let's see where things go. No entrepreneurship activities in sight but maybe on th longer term. Let's keep in touch ! Keep changing the world too :-)

From Hitting Zero 3x -> $4500 in the Bank 💰...
The last year of all-in entrepreneurship with 4 kiddos in under 16 minutes... Day by Day Hey all you Big Brains... I have a Big Brain Idea for you... "You really can Build the Life You Desire... Living Where You Want... Loving What You Do... and Being Paid Well For it!" It requires 3 simple things... Urgency, Resolve, and Accountability... So keep making diligent incremental progress and remember... no one is going to build your life for you. Thank you for being being a part of my wild journey from Engineering & Global Leadership into entrepreneurship.

@Joseph Isosaki thanks a lot for asking. I started a new chapter 2 weeks ago, I will keep learning and get deeper in this industrial automation sector which becomes increasingly more complex and connected. It's not an entrepreneurial journey yet and I'm not sure I'll jump in this wagon anytime soon (I've a job). Let's see what happens next ! How about your plans?

@Joseph Isosaki This is what happens when using auto-correction and not checking what it writes... Yes I've got a job and I'm looking forward to this new role. Great to hear that you see the light out of the tunnel (or basement) and I wish you to get the life you really want. I think you can be very proud of what you already achieved and I think it's only the beginning !
How Do You Say "Welcome to The Big Brain Club" in your Native Language?
The Big Bain Club has grown to over 170 folks from around the world, and while the majority of our conversation here is in English, I would love to learn what language comes most naturally to you! So can you teach us how to say, "Welcome to the big brain Club" in your favorite language? You can comment it below and if you want bonus points you can record a video of you saying it too!

In French 🇫🇷 you could translate it at best with "Bienvenue dans le club des grosses têtes" but it can sound arrogant, more than in English. "Les grosses têtes" was also a not really clever week-end TV show...
Lost without a compass
Hi, I'm Thomas, 43 from France but living in Germany for half of a living. Origin: Unlike many people whose posts I've read so far, I didn't seek to follow a passion and wasn't particularly ambitious. Instead, I followed the voice of reason, pursued engineering studies because I have an affinity for technology, and moved to Germany, where, to my surprise, I thrived and have stayed ever since. I keep my passions and interests for my free time and have never seriously considered making a living from them, as I find it sad to think of hating one's passion due to existential fears. I have great respect for those who succeed in this, but I personally don't feel capable of it, so I keep them as hobbies. Now, I find myself in a delicate situation: on the one hand, I feel like I'm not moving forward and am out of sync with my work (feeling useless), and on the other hand, I enjoy the comfort of a stable life without significant financial pressure, with free time and a generally good living environment. I feel this void within me: the feeling that I should be doing much better but struggling to step out of this damn comfort zone, held back by my doubts and lack of self-confidence! Desired State: Assuming everything goes well, I envision a diverse community, a network that is partly virtual and partly local, where entrepreneurs seeking help, answers, or support for specific problems could come. Ideally, I imagine a place where you could come for a coffee but also have a workspace, a bit like a coworking space but more community-oriented. You wouldn't come just for yourself but for the exchange with other interesting people who share the same values. Speaking of values, they are essential! As is a portfolio and a minimum level of organization for the community to function. Maybe a community like this already exists? I haven't found one yet, but you never know! As for sectors: renewable energies, IoT, retrofitting equipment, batteries, agriculture, self-sufficient systems...

@Joseph Isosaki Thanks for asking, I'm actively applying but I'm a bit stucked at the same time. To make short: start a new position and a new chapter and hope for the best or forget about everything and try something more disruptive but with more risks or failure. Choosing the second sounds obvious on first sight (otherwise I'd not be there) but I think I'm so far away to be in the state where I just could start...

@Cassandre Voltaire thanks for this reply. Yes this is it, I kind of like my job, there are many interesting aspects and life is comfortable. But I feel it's a reasonable choice I've made a long time ago and it's difficult now to change this situation. How about you? You apparently went this step? Was it a single big step or a long transition? This is generally the question I have now, how to make the transition, all at once or a few steps one after another.
