Bankruptcy to Millionaire

I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to find my passion. If there is one rule that I know is that you must LOVE what you do to become ultra successful at it.

I want to become a millionaire. And I only have 43 more months to do it. I think I need to find my passion.

First of all I know I love talking about money. I just find the subject of it fascinating. How people make it. How people lose it. I love hearing of peoples great success stories. I love thinking “entrepreneur”. Take an idea… any idea. How can you make money with it? I’ve been thinking that way since I was 7.

I can burp (loudly) on command. Can I make money doing that?

But even though I liked to “think” this way. I was a thinker. A talker. Not a doer. I never stopped talking about it long enough to just DO IT!

So then I second guess myself. Do I have “it”. I sit on my duff a lot, and do a whole lot of nuthin’ FAR too often! Because if my passion is just thinking business. I’m flat SCREWED, because I’ll be flat BROKE.

But finally; it’s starting to *click*. I think I am about to harness “it”. To focus “it” into a whirlwind of action and success. I can feel “it” brushing the tips of my fingers just ahead of me, and if I can just grab ‘hold and pull it close. I feel an explosion of success is inevitable.

I’m realizing. I absolutely, positively love to write. I thoroughly enjoy putting my thoughts and my words in black and white. I am also realizing how to monetize those words. Maybe this blog. Maybe a product. Maybe copy. But through practice and ambition. I believe that I will be able to find how to use my words to mine the cash into my pocket.

I have at least 3 business ideas in my head RIGHT NOW. I feel inspired. I feel action oriented. I feel RICH.

I am going to write these things down on paper RIGHT NOW. And develop a plan of action to get each one done in succession. And I am going to COMPLETE the project, and pull the trigger (quite unlike what I have done in the past. Where I started and gave up before I ever even gave some ideas a shot…).

I am going to COMMIT to a very modest goal. I am going to make it public, and I am going to do everything in my power to achieve it.

I commit to earing just $250 in profit in the Dog Care niche by the end of January.

Yes. I have had this *GREAT* idea for about 2 months. I have put a ton of it together, I just haven’t taken the final step and went live. Then begin to tweak and change to make it profitable. I am going to take this idea–that I absolutely POSITIVELY know will be a success–and full commit to it. I am going to turn a profit from it, because I know exactly what and how it is to be done. I just have to take the step necessary for doing it.

Now lets get to it! Lets start taking some action!

You know, I’ve heard it (probably) hundreds of times before:

“You can’t just want to ‘get rich’. You have to love what you do. You have to want to provide value to others. You must have a passion, or you’re never going to find long term ultra-success.”

I’m heard this over and over (and over and over). And I fundamentally “heard” it. I heard the words they were using. But I wasn’t listening. I wasn’t comprehending the true message. Because I always wanted the quick score. I thought “loving” the money would be enough. Hell, I have a passion for being rich! That’s all I need.

HA!

This is so false! And the reason I have tried and failed so miserably so many times before. I was just trying to make as much “cash” as possible. I wasn’t worried about what I was providing to others. Hell I didn’t care what it was that I was trying to sell. If I thought I could make money with it. That was good enough for me!

It’s not enough! After a ton of soul search, thinking to myself (you do a lot of that when you’re poor and have no money to spend on anything.) I’ve realized where I’ve gone wrong. I spent a large portion of my life thus far trying to “strike it rich” for all the wrong reasons. Don’t get me wrong… I still wish to be successful.

But it’s occurring to me more and more how much financial success is completely irrelevant if you don’t absolutely love your life. If you don’t love, and believe in every ounce of what you do. Then what’s the point?

I believe in this blog. I love every ounce of it. It means so much to me, and the progress I’m making in my life. Sure, it doesn’t make any money, and it probably won’t be the new hit of the web. BUT, I believe several things about this blog to be true.

I believe in the long run, I will be able to refer back to these writings and view my progress. I believe that my words will also help to inspire others who are in a similar situation as myself. I believe that I can create a system to help aide in the success of others. By “cracking the code” myself. By doing it first and documenting it in real time, I will have accomplished something on the internet, that I believe no other person has yet to do… Become RICH in every sense of the word. Not just financially, but emotionally and personally as well.

Thank you so much for letting me share my journey.
