Let's start from zero shall we? Not zero dollars or zero net income, but zero idea how this thing works and where it can end up.
Over the last weeks I've come to the slow realization that I'm not happy at my 9-5. Sure it's really a nice job - I've got benefits after all - but I've grown tired and unmotivated. It isn't really work I would like to make a career from. It isn't really what I want to define myself. I do not have any kids (yet) but I'm married to the most wonderful person, and I don't want our family to suffer this 9-5 fate for the next 40+ years. I need to start somewhere, and I need to start now.
During the past few weeks I've been reading several books which have helped me define what I do want: stability, freedom, money, a Ferrari... But these books have given me a little bit more knowledge along with the motivation to complete what I have been previously afraid to accomplish for a while - change.
It's not hard to feel trapped, locked down within the stability of the workday routine, but there's an opportunity out, and I hope that during my journey, however long it is, I'll find that way and be able to share it with everyone reading this blog. Maybe twelve months from now, or three, someone will come back to this post in the beginning of December of 2010 and read how it all started, how to get to where I am today. Maybe I'll be able to give another person the motivation to go out and start that business, or that blog, or that eBay store. However big or small, I hope I can help someone accomplish it.
So, let's all start from zero and work our way up to those goals we have for ourselves. I'm going to be posting my goals here soon, and my stories along the route. I've several 'projects' happening that I'll be talking about, and how I got started with them. In the coming weeks and months I will be updating my goals and sharing my successes and failures and I hope you all learn from it!
