How to get started on your big dream? Well, let’s see what one of the richest men . he world has to say about that…
“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.”
—Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO
Getting started on your dreams
When you have a dream that you care deeply about because of the fear of failure. I am no exception. I have been putting off my dream of becoming a multi-millionaire by creating excuses. When I was in high school it was because I was too young. In college, it was because I didn’t have a job yet. Now that I have a job it has been, well I don’t have enough time.
*Update – 2019 I’ve now recently left my job to start building my own business and creating opportunities outside of the limitations of an employer.
Each one of these is an objection to my own happiness. As well as an excuse in the fruition of my financial dream. Today, I am committing to not only meeting but exceeding my income targets. If you are serious about growing your wealth and income then I urge you to make a commitment. Write it down, take a video for posterity. Do whatever it takes to hold yourself accountable. Things to consider when getting started are your goal timelines and how you’ll track them.
I created the Financial Glass to keep track of my progress and document my successes and failures. My hope is that others can learn from my successes and failures. There are plenty of financial freedom blogs from folks who have achieved success. But it typically comes from a perspective that is hard to relate to for those of us just getting started. I invite you to join me on this journey and I hope you can take away something valuable.
You will find an accounting of my journey towards financial freedom along with the mindset, mistakes, and inevitable turbulence along the way.
