Day Twenty Seven

Things have been busy the last week or so.

While I really enjoy writing I simply haven't been making the time for it like I need to to succeed at blogging.

The question comes down to this: Do I want to succeed at blogging?

I don't know. I look at Steve Pavlina and Darren Rowe who are bloggers making $100k plus a year from their blogs.

They love what they do, it seems they help people and they get paid really well for it. Both of them have leveraged their websites into a business. Steve is just now starting to do that and Darren has done that for awhile.

It really stems from where I want to make my money. I have a business that is coming together and so I don't want to spend my spare time working on this blog as it is.
My business is structured, hopefully, to give me more and more time *not* working and more and more money as it grows.

Blogging seems like it can be really fun but while Steve Pavlina has talked about passive income from blogs right now that is not my kind of passive income.

Real estate, business and investment passive income. Those are my current passive income goals.

Day Twenty Four

Things have been busy this week, nothing too exciting just working on business prep work.

On a far more fun note, I will be shadowing my uncles (the rich ones) for about a week this summer. Most people pay $10k plus for opportunities like that.


One of them is writing a book on building wealth so I am gonna pick his brain like crazy.

Day Twenty One

I feel alive and refreshed.


Aside from my right ankle which I twisted earlier today and is now swollen that is.

I am pretty fucking excited right now. I am meeting with the marketing person who just came on board with my company later this week to get her input on the planned marketing blitz for NN (initials only people) launch next month.

I also started interviewing software developers for a different company that I am on the BOD of.

It is a tangled web we weave when you don't know what the hell I am talking about.

A brief breakdown.

I own 30% of company number One and am on the BOD. Company number One has a division doing business under a different name (perfectly legal btw) and I am fully in charge of that division.

Company One was actually formed around several of my intelectual properties (hands off).

My division launches next month. The goal is to generate capital for company One's big project and attract investors.

Company Two is developing a different piece of software and is currently interviewing programmers. I suppose that I am the CEO of that company. This is also based on one of my ideas.

Fantastic eh?


Now to get them making some damn money

Day Twenty

Today my university comes back from spring break.

What does that mean for me?

Just that traffic is going to be slightly worse. Instead of taking me 10 minutes to go into work it will now take 15.

Other than that it is a beautiful, if cold, morning. I had a few good meetings over the last few days. I am feeling pretty good about this business and about life in general.

I suppose I should be feeling a bit stressed, my car needs work and things are about to get very busy, but life is to short to worry about that.

seriously. waaaay too short.


Off to breakfast, I have to be at my job by noon.

Day Seventeen

It has been awhile since I last posted.

Today I was interviewed for a book. The interviewer is doing a few case studies on college age kids and their thoughts on money, investing and entrepreneurship.

Right up my alley eh?

Admittedly I have not written about much in the way of money or investing or business just yet.

Yet...


Anyway, I will let all of you know when that book hits the stores, don't know when.


It has been a nice 'spring break' so far. While I am not *in* college it is nice. I took two days off of my job and have enjoyed the great weather.

And no traffic.

I have spent the week working on my upcoming business venture.

No details just yet.

Day Thirteen

I swear I have been busier since dropping college than when I was still attending classes and doing homework.

Consulting work is going, well it is going for now.

I am working on potentially too many projects right now, I may have to cut back on one or two.

Day Eight

You would think that having quit college and 'only' working a part time job that I would have tons of time on my hands.

Nope.

I am doing consulting work on the side to make extra money. I am also about a month away from launching my business.

Add to that the fact that I am learning on my own, picking up ruby in my 'spare' time, have a girlfriend that I do not see nearly enough of and you can see how my time gets spent.

Then again, I have been exausted for the last two days or so and I am working on catching up on sleep.

Don't knock it, getting enough sleep is vital. College students are often sleep deprived for a good chunk of the semester. Terrible for your health, emotional, mental and physical.


So if you will excuse me...

Nap time.

not to be confused with hammer time.
