    Default 30 Months

    30 Months from now, I will :

    1. Have a Panoz Esperante

    2. Have a place in Maui, on the water and

    3. Own a race horse and competing in at least the "B" tier (allowance races)

    See the album I created in my profile called 30 months if you want a visual.

    My business is already positioned - process is in place and execution has begun. At the end of 30 months, I will accomplish 1, 2, and 3 as above without necessarily having a "liquidation" event... and may continue at that time to use my business as an ATM machine or cash it out at that point.

    I posted this here to memorialize what I already planned, but will check back in here periodically so that those who come behind us can see that what MJ talked about in his book was not just a fluke.

    30 months.

    Countdown to May 1, 2014 in Honolulu

    Got a feeling you won't be racing that horse at Canterbury Downs! Sorry all for the inside Minnesota joke...

    Simon. Thanks for your note! It's not a question of IF, it's a question now of if I can accelerate it faster than the 910 days left on the 30 month clock! Stay tuned...

    Please check out my new (beta, but fully functional) version of the web site, and let me know your comments and constructive criticism. (Fastlaners, also see my post in the private forum.) I would appreciate your comments, thoughts, ideas, and perceptions of a quick spin through the new web site.

    Thanks...Dave

    The site is very good looking and easy to travel but the mobile version is not that nice to use. Its missing something.

    Check out my site Japanese Knives, Japanese Chef Knives At Sushi Knife Store! Lifetime Warranty!, we're using the same template...
    If you need any help with SEO let me know. Try comparing our respective SEO scores on websitegrader.com, the scores from there are relative but you are getting a 14 and I have an 85. Granted my site is over a month old but I would seriously suggest getting some SEO and SEM done immediately to be sure and reach your goals...

    May good fortune follow you!

    I am on the same journey at the moment a couple of months in. Being ADD I needed to set myself a solid deadline when I'll achieve my second (bigger) "money tree". I chose 36 months - both numbers that seem right.

    The template is fine, if it is a bit overused - get yourself a nice logo and it'll look more custom...

    Thanks... we have a great logo but it didn't meld well with this site. The more time I spend with this template the less I think it will work for me long term. It will surely get me through the holidays and into Q1 next year. Sales are already crazy on the other sites we sell on... so I should be in position some time in Q1 to develop something stronger.

    Celebrating far and away the largest revenue day in my young company's history today - due in part to seasonality, and in part to what the slow lane would surely describe as "luck..."

    We own it all (stock it all). We started small, and then used the proceeds (margin) from early sales to buy more and more stock and expand models. So the initial investment was reasonable, and now the snowball effect has kicked in. In that method, we were cash positive within the first 30 days.
