Read Unscripted!
I have decided to go full blown 100% in! No more standing around and dipping my foot in the shallow end. No more few hours on the side every week dabbling here and there with half ideas. I have committed to the belief that I can really make this happen and have now taken massive action to make that a reality.
Over the last month:
- Abandoned my original comfy plan of snowboarding all winter in Canada while maybe doing a few hours of work a day online
- Shut down my oil business (really a time dependent job), given my rental notice, selling my truck, sold all my non essential possessions and prepared all the items I will need
- Ended all contracts, paid off all bills and removed all ties to anything that will hold me back
- Removed all debt and saved as much as possible (took a second job and am working as many hours as possible before I leave)
- Bought a one way plane ticket to a cheaper country (South America) where I already have a solid network of like minded entrepreneurs (5+ guys who work online, two of which are self made multimillionaires)
- Booked a basic but yet productive apartment for only $160 a month including bills
- Made sure it is not close to any nightclubs or bars and that it is close to a library, gym and supermarket
- Budgeted an amount to give me one year of focused work without having zero income
- That being made using the SinisterLex threads on freelancing I aim to be cash flow positive within a month
- Committed to a LOT of hard work, patience and focusing on creating VALUE and solving PROBLEMS
- Avoiding quick schemes, selfish needs and 'doing what I love' instead of what the market demands
- Accept I will have to start at the bottom and grind my way through the process of learning without any shortcuts
- Found someone to look after my plant that I have grown quite fond of!
This will be quite the challenge but I can no longer accept anything from myself but continual movement towards what I want in life. To say the FLM book and this forum has been life changing is a huge understatement. There are so many people here who have left both big and small comments all over this forum that have really helped me commit to this plan. Thanks to all of you. I hope someday I can return the favor in someway.
