Bounce Back Big in 2016

I'm reading this short book and am going to use it pound out some posts here.

If there weren’t any obstacles in your way and you knew that anything you did, you would be successful, what would you do?

I'd be excited to go to work.  I'd be excited to have people on my team.

What would you accomplish?

I'd be buying lots of companies and finding as many partnerships as possible to help me buy them.  I'd employ a lot of people and help them reach their full potential.

What would you have in your life?

I'd have nicer things.  I'd have a nicer car or cars.  I'd have a nicer home.  I'd have a new wardrobe.  I'd travel more too.  I'd get a nice new cell phone and a tablet and a nice gaming computer and maybe some consoles.  I'd sign up for a physical trainer.  I'd sign up for more counseling for myself or wife or with us together.

Who would you have in your life?

I'd have more friends and family working with me.  I'd have more friends that were business owners and not trading time for money.  I'd likely have deeper friendships with everyone as I imagine I'd have more time to connect and visit and interact with people.

How would you be living your life?

Fearless.  I'd open up to people more.  I'd try and help people more.  I'd do more service.  I'd take my kids out on dates.

I’m so grateful I’m on the road to financial independence.

So I'm committed to becoming a millionaire or more by January 2020.  With that declaration I've had some interesting insights into money as I and others think of it.  I'm excited for what is to come, but am nervous for the discomfort and growth that is going to come with it as well.  I think I want to start posting my insights here for documentation.

I’m so grateful I’m on the road to financial independence.

Great year

This year has gone by pretty quick I feel like.  I got two new jobs, found out we're having a second baby, finished a coding bootcamp and completely changed career paths.  I also landed a freelance job redoing somebody's website and hope to do many more in the coming year.  I've stayed sober the whole year, which is probably the thing I like the most about it.  I've helped a few people move in and out of there houses.  I've paid down debt, almost bought a house, rented out my first rental property with Ashlee.  I've replaced a transmission in a car and read lots of good books and seen some awesome movies.  I've born my testimony and been a good example to my family and coworkers and friends.  I've lost weight too.  I've played some fun video games for quite a bit longer then I thought I ever would.  I've gotten more techy, like now I'm writing in my journal, but through this app, which is cool/convenient.

In the coming year I hope to be a good husband and father.  I want to go on a date at least once a week with Ashlee.  I want to go and get some counseling on my parents divorce.  I forgot to include that above.  My parents got divorced lol.  I guess that is what happens when you reflect on the things you've done and been grateful for is you leave out the negativity.  That is also something I've done and want to keep doing is cut out negativity.  I've blocked some sites that just have negative news and information on them and sites that are just a waste of time for me.  I also want to grow my freelance business into something bigger and better.  I'm committed to becoming a millionaire or more by January 2020 and I think this year will be a big learning/growing year for me in that regard.  I'm excited to see what happens.

Tell me what happened to you and what you want to have happen in the coming year.  Happy New Years to you all.
