Well on my way to making my dreams come true

Today I set myself up with a "Million Dollar Tracker" I built a spreadsheet that tracks my credit card debt and running total of how far away I am from a my million dollar goal. Despite the number being negative at this point, setting up the spreadsheet really filled me with the desire to make it happen. It shows me that I really can make it happen and it won't be as difficult as I first thought. I am excited that I have taken the next step in my journey. Each day marks something new in my journey. I countinue to press foward despite having bad days yet. The good thing is the bad days are fewer and becoming increasingly further apart.

Nothin tonight

I really don't have too much to write about tonight. I guess I can write about my day yesterday. Yesterday I spent my first real day with Dar discussing my future with LRD. We came up with a nice plan to get me started in selling. It should help to ease me into it, considering I am still fairly inexperinced when it comes to the sales process, but I know I'll catch on quick, and before you know it I will be well on my way to making my furtune. I have come up with a few goals as well, sales goals and social goals. I am going to join Young Professionals of Chicago to help with networking as well as a way to make some new friends. I have also set some pretty hefty sales goals that some time down the road I will achieve. Yesterday was the first "real step" toward my future, and next Friday I will take my second step, and from there on out there is no turning back.

Millionaire Status

In my efforts to become a better persons and my persuit for housing in New York and Scottsdale, I also want to become a millionaire. My plan is to have saved my first million by the age of thirty. That leaves me just under three years to make it happen. With a combination of hard work making sales and smart investing, I do not forsee any problems making it a reality. I am in the process of setting up a plan to make it a reality. I will lay out the details of the plan in my next blog. I have made it my goal to set up the plan at work tonight, and finish it up here at home tonight. I see light at the end of the tunnel, and the excitement is building quickly.

Staying Positive

Today was a very good day for me. I was able to successfully analyze myself and figure out the one thing thing that I needed to change in order to help insure that I succeed. I have figured out that the biggest flaw I have is, my lack of ability to keep a positive additude. I went through and drew out a solution today for this problem, and ultimately how an improvement in this skill will lead to my success. Everything revolve around this one skill and it has prevented me from becoming the person I want to be for long enough. I decided that from today foward I will live my life in a more positive way and rather than cursing situations that I don't like or can not control, I will use them as learning experiences. Today I took the next step on my journey toward a more rewarding future. Each day I move a little bit further and each time I take a step it brings me closer to living the life of my dreams.

Business Ventures

I am going to begin my career as a salesmen for LRD, but my ultimate goal is to start my own, or become partner in other business ventures. I have entered the point in my life where I am the most focused I believe I have ever been. I am finally at the point where I am not just thinking about great the scenerios in my head would be, but I am actually beginning to act upon them. I am a pivital point in my life where if I don't act on my ambitions now I am never going to. I am even at the point where I've been thinking not just about how great my up coming vacation is going to be, but I am just as enthused about how great my life is going to be after the vacation is over. I see a lot of hard work in my future, but I also see a lot of rewarding work as well. I just can't wait till I can get out and start selling.

Reading

Today I have rediscovered the power of reading. I have compiled a set of books that I believe will be beneficial on journey toward becoming a more successful person. I have found books on motivation, general business, selling techniques, and networking. I believe that if I can put to work the techniques that I learn in these books it will help to become successful much more quickly then if I weren't to read them, and once I am done with this set I am going to turn to the next set of books. I am going to make reading and educating myself a daily part of my life. It helps me to stay focused and it keeps the drive and desire that I need to ensure my success. I have read in many places that one must have a clear picture of your future and where you ultimately want your life to end up, well I have discovered the end and I have finally began the journey towards making that future a reality. I am looking foward to my future success and to take you along for the journey. I am at the verge of loving my life and ready to make it a complete success.
