Instead of complainimng about my life and the mistakes I have made, I have decided to be proactive and do something about it. To this end I have started a business in network marketing. Now before you think this will turn into an ad, relax. I have no intention of turning this site into a venue for building my business. Rather this will be a chronicle of my personal journey on the road to success.
Okay, that may sound somewhat pompous. But seriously writing about all of this will help me keep my focus. The act of discussing my goals and the plans I have will reinforce them in my mind and help me succeed.
Also writing this all down will make me accountable to you dear reader and again this will help propel me to stick to my goals.
That is it for now. Next time I will discuss goal setting and some of the goals I have set for my self. I will also have a book recommendation that discusses goals and why the are important.
Till next time.

On Success...
To be successful in anything you first have to have a burning desire.
This is not something I came up with on my own obviously, it is just a bit of wisdom that I have picked up from reading.
Forming a reading habit is something I am working on to better myself. I am not talking reading popular literature, but rather books written on the subject of bettering oneself. Bettering one self financially, spiritually, physically and mentally. Reading, as I have been instructed by my personal mentors, is the cornerstone to self improvement. It helps protect the mind from all of the garbage that tries to find it's way into you brain. Maintaining a positive attitude is easier because reading good books gives you the tool you need to succeed. The act of reading is also good for the brain, it makes the neural pathways stronger. A good analogy would be that its similar to lifting weights build your muscle strength.
The first line of this post was based on what read in the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.
So far this is a great book and I recommend it highly.
As I go along in this blog I will discuss what I am learning from these books. It will not be a book summary or review, but rather what I got from the book and how I am applying it to my life. Also if you kind reader wish to weigh in with you thoughts on the book I am discussing please feel free.
Also I would love to hear of any good books you may have read and how and why they have helped you.
