Lets get right to the point, I've got work to do.

-I have a negative net worth right now
-I don't have the greatest credit rating
-I don't have a budget in place for my income
-I work a dead end 9 to 5 job for now

A short time from now I want to look back on this list and laugh. To accomplish this I need to make some positive changes in my life. I need more structure in my day to day activities. I've got to stop wasting time and learn how to set and achieve goals. I've read a lot of books on self improvement and goal setting, but I never apply what I learn. I am in my mid 20s, and I realize it's not the end of the world. The problem is, at this rate I am not going to accomplish my dream of financial freedom, ever. It's time for me to stop making excuses and more specifically, FINISH PROJECTS that I start. I'll be the first to admit it's hard for me to finish something that I start. Whether it comes to books, verbal commitments, or business projects, I feel like until I learn to start what I finish I'll never become successful. I talk the talk... and yeah, you know the rest. I feel like I approach business the right way. My ideas and potential aren't holding me back, its my effort. I need a good kick in the a$$, and I am hopeful that the fastlane community will put their right foot forward.
