My life altering choice(s) happened in the same year. I was twenty two on the path they send you down knowing that things didn't seem right (college and all that crap).
I decided to move back home with my parents (I was going to college in a neighboring city) and had to drive. Got a job at a restaurant where on my second day my soon to be wife walked in the door.
Now I am not one for love at first site, but boy do I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember everything about her and knew I had to pursue this girl. 4 months later we were engaged, 1 year later married, and we just celebrated our 6 year annvy on sept 8th.
That same time I joined my first network marketing company which later became a failure but huge learning experience. we did well enough from the get go to hob nob with the big dogs in the company and opening my eyes up to the end of the rainbow so to speak. On the negative side, the failing of that biz made me question a lot of things and have to overcome many many challenges internally which made my twenties tough. I lost focus and wasn't sure how to proceed.
That is starting to change with the help of others like yourselves. I am not at my destination yet, but am on the way and know I'll get there. I am enjoying the process thus far. My next step is to set some big goals that are achievable as I've seen others here accomplish them b/c of their beliefs.
This time period also made me sit down adn start setting goals at the beginning of each year which 80-100% of them always are accomplished. Some I have no idea how but we make it - for ex. we had a bunch of c/c debt over the last 5 years. our goal was to pay off 3 c/c in 2007. As of today, we did it.
Dream big
