Making the Sale

Breakdown

Today I had a major breakdown. It was bad. I actually began to cry. I just could not and at this point still can't understand why my wife and I have to live a life with a limited amount of happiness. Our lives at this point stinks. We rarely ever see each other, we have no money, and each of us are just plain tired all of the time.

So with all of that being said, it is my hope that today I actually hit the bottom. During my breakdown I realized that there is absolutely no way that anyone is going to hand me a great future. I have to go out and seize it myself. I will no longer hold myself back because I am too scared, tired, or just plain lazy. If there is something I want I am going to set out and capture it myself. The only way I am going to be truely happy is reaching my goals. My number one goal right now is quit my current job and to make my own schedule. So, within the perameters I set for myself I will have my own clients and making my own schedule July 1st, 2009. As for a shorter term goal I will have my first customer by January 15th, 2009. I will be going on sales calls with my wifes father next week. This will be the starting point for my future.

Today marks the first day of my new life. Every time a little bit of laziness starts to come over me I will think back to today and remember how crappy I felt on this day. From this day foward I am a new person "a new me."

Turn for the Better

Today I dug a little deeper into my idea, and discovered that it just isn't feasable. However, I discovered an even better way to go about doing it. I believe that this idea can ultimately lead me to having the life of my dreams, and if I get it up and running, it almost gurantees my life in New York. I am unbelievably excited about this. I absolutely love it. I am ready. My dreams are now a little bit closer.

I have decided that I need to post my goals to help keep myself motivated.
1. New York City
2. Scottsdale, AZ
3. Golf a couple times a week
4. Spending more time with the family

New emotions

Today I read a fantastic article about the stats of emotion. I have learned that one way, and perhaps an easier way to change your behavior is to first change your emotions. If you force your emotions to change first it will easy your tranistion into more wanted behaviors. After reading this article my feelings changed and just that quickly I started feeling better about myself.

I did a little more research today on my new product idea. Tomorrow I plan on going to a few stores and checking out the cometition and a few ideas. I am growing more and more excited about my product and can't wait till I am at the point of building a protoype.

Wow! It's Been Awhile

Man it has been a long time since I have wrote anything. I have been very exhausted as of late, and just have not felt like writing. However, I am trying to write again in hopes that it will rexhilarate me. I have decided to undertake a new project, that if it works, will leave me financially set for quite awhile. It will leave me free to explore the world like I want to. As more details immerge I will continue to post more. I am excited to move my life foward, and I need to move my life foward.

How do you stay motivated

Lately, well about the past week or so I can't seem to stay motivated. I have kind of gone back to my old way of thinking. Where I really just want to start my own businesses and work from home. I have lost a lot of my drive in looking for a new drive. At this point I just really would like to be around home more. I want to be able to go out and about when ever I want as well. Maybe it is time to take a serious look at starting my own website. I just read an article about a seventeen year old teenager who started her own website and is already a millionaire and has bought her own home. I just need to find a way to keep pushing myself foward. Wish me luck. Until next time.

Good Morning

Just a quick posr this morning. The last couple of days I have had a little trouble being motivated. Work has exhausted me, and I haven't had much sleep. I have to work again today, but I am making sure I get a full night sleep tonight, so I can be fully rested for tomorrow. It is my plan to use hoovers.com to find all of the potential companies in Chicago. This was a huge discovery for me last night, as I have been unable, until last night, figure out what companies were actually located in Chicago. So, wish me luck for tomorrow and tomorrow evening I will let you know what I find out. Just a quick quote that has kept me motivated "If you want to be somebody, and you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention." (sister act)

Goals

So, I have come up with three goals thus far.

1: Find a new job that I enjoy more

2: Volunteer to work at the theatre

3: Continue to educate myself and grow my knowledge

There will be more goals to come as I continue to come up with new ways to keep myself motivated and working forward.

Scottsdale what a town

Good Morning. Today is the day I will be coming up with my list of short term goals to help me reach my big goal. I have also decided to add another location to my big goal. I have always wanted to own a home in Scottsdale, AZ as well. Throughout the spring, fall and winter the weather there is so much niceer then it is here in my home state of Wisconsin. I have been to Scottsdale four times now to vist my future in-laws. Each time my fiance and I talk about how much we would love to own a home there. So, since I am so early in my journey I am going to add, along with Manhattan, Scottsdale to my ultimate goal list. Now wish me luck on my journey, and this evening hopefully I will have a list of short term goals to really get myself motivated and reving up to go.

10/7/08 The First Post

Another day goes by and another day of exhaustion is upon me. It seems that no matter how the day goes, by the time 9:30 comes around I am too exhausted to think. I did however manage to run through a practice job interview with myself today. The first goal that I have set for myself in my persuit, is a career change. It has been very difficult for me to wait till after the wedding to move on to a new job, but I know that in the end it will be well worth it. In the next post I will be writing my list of shorter term goals that will help me reach the ultimate goal of New York City.
