Okay, after lurking on the forums for a while, I've decided that I'd like to make a progression thread. So basically, this thread/post will serve as a little motivator for me. I'll post my progression in this thread to the public to keep myself motivated (and also to prevent myself from procrastinating). First of all, I'll try my best to post daily as a reminder for myself to get off my lazy a$$ and do something productive. Second, I'm not entirely sure what my goals will be. A simple goal of mine would be to aim for financial freedom (I mean, who doesn't want that?), but for the other goals, I'll have to figure that out along the way.

Progress:

Anyway, at the time of writing this, it's summer break for me, so basically, I have 1.5 months to focus on entrepreneurial ideas. At the moment, I'm trying to build a reputation in web development (I'm making websites for businesses). I'll try to give a progress update every day on how that's going. Well, I don't want to make this post too long, so that'll be it for my progress update.

Hopefully, someday I'll wake up without a worry in the world...
