Excel Warrior: How Spreadsheets Set Me Finally Free [fiction]

Published 2025-01-27 15-09

Summary [fiction]

From corporate hamster wheel to building a real business – how three chapters from an unconventional book helped me turn Excel skills into freedom and purpose.

The story

Ever feel like you’re running in place? That was me. Making good money but dying inside, one spreadsheet at a time. Classic corporate hamster wheel situation.

Then I found these chapters [3-5] in “The Journey – I Wish I Knew Before I Was 21.” Not your typical self-help fluff. Just raw truth bombs about getting unstuck and building something real.

Here’s what hit me hardest: “You reap what you sow—but only if you sow first.” Simple, right? But it made me realize I’d been waiting for success to find me instead of planting the seeds myself.

The game-changer was learning to turn what makes me different into my superpower. For me, it was Excel automation [yeah, really]. Found out people would actually pay good money for that specific skill.

These chapters taught me to start small, stack wins, and trust the process. No overnight success stories here—just real talk about putting in the work and letting momentum build.

Six months later, I’m not rich or famous. But I’m building something that’s mine, one client at a time. And that beats staring at the office ceiling any day.

Want to get unstuck? Grab these chapters. They might just change your life like they changed mine.
