Amazing. That’s all I can say. Life is a journey and right now I’m loving the journey I’m on. It’s hard to believe that 5 years ago today I started a little blog called OnlyOneMike. Looking back, the name is a little pompous haha. But, I guess it worked for me then. I don’t update here anymore, just once a year on Independence Day in the United States.And I like it that way. That’s not to say I won’t update this blog and turn it back on at some point. I mean, it is pretty old and it has some history to it. I guess we’ll see. :DSo, just to update on what’s been going on… remember when I said this last year?

 If all goes well, this time next year when I update I’ll be a completely new person.

Well, everything did go well. And as I write this I am a completely new person. Sadly, I STILL can’t go into all the details… I know, not very nice. But, hey, tell you what… the second I can tell you I will. I won’t make you wait an entire year! See, maybe this is my subconscious way of returning to this blog and getting back to my personal development roots.I have lots of new goals now. I want to become a personal development and weight loss (HINT!) speaker. I want to share what I’ve learned and hopefully learn from others as I travel the world sharing my story. I know God can help make that happen, and I’m excited for the opportunity.So, now I sit and look at my life as I do every 4th of July. It’s a sort of “fiscal year” end date for me. I love this day because it represents so much to me. It’s more than just a holiday, that’s for sure. It’s more than fireworks and BBQ, family and friends… it’s FREEDOM.And beyond that, it means that we all have the chance (at least in this country) to pursue our wishes with wild abandonment and go after life with gusto. We don’t have to settle for what we don’t want - we can chase our dreams with determination. You get the idea, right? ;)I don’t want to turn this yearly update into a ramble, so I’ll close with this.5 years ago today I wrote a blog post on an UGLY blog page I had setup on my own. It took me a week to get the blog setup, that’s why I started my first official post on the 4th of July 2006! From that one single action, my entire life changed and I sit today with a whole new life.That’s the power of choice… and the power of change. It can happen for anyone, even you. Just be willing to try something different, something you haven’t done before and the world can open up to you.I can’t wait to update you with lots of great new information and pictures! Now that I’ve written this much, I think it may be time for me to bring this blog back! Hmm, I’ll be thinking about it over the next few months.I’m gonna find out next week about something REALLY BIG in my life. It’s something I desperately need. If I get this, I will be eternally changed forever. It’s that important. So I’m sending out a digital prayer to the Man upstairs… help me out on this one - I really need it!!And to my reader:Thanks for reading this and may this next year see YOU achieve your dreams!

Well, here we are again. An amazing 4 years have passed since my whole life changed and I went from being a broke college dropout to making money on the internet.

It’s sort of weird in a way because right now, as I write this, it seems like a LOT longer than 4 years ago. It seems like it’s been about 20 years times. In the last 4 years I’ve helped launched 3 different very successful businesses, I’ve created a program called the BOA Method, I’ve helped create a marketing system called the Infinite Income Plan, and so much more.

I never thought when I was 24, that I’d be doing this at the age of 28. But here I am. And I’m loving it. And like each year I update this, massive change has happened in my life. I no longer work with my old mentor who taught me the ways of the force. She has moved on and I guess we all have.

I used to work with 2 other partners, from the later part of 2008 all the way till the end of 2009. Now, for the first time, I’ve struck out on my own. I do have an offline business I’ve started with a great friend of mine and it’s going ok so far.Still haven’t made our first sale yet, so until that happens you can’t really call it a business lol.

I heard a great quote about that once that basically said:

Until someone makes a sale it’s all overhead.

Great quote in my book.

In some other cool news, I do have a VERY big thing happening for me. I’ll be heading out next week to meet with some people about something that will change my entire life forever. I’ve been working on it since last year and finally it’s coming together. If all goes well, this time next year when I update I’ll be a completely new person.

I wish I could say more, but I can’t just yet. Hang in there.

So, Happy 4th of July! Here are again taking a moment to look to the past and also gazing into the future. May your dreams of freedom come true and may you achieve all your hopes and wishes.

On this day (and everyday) let’s never forget those who sacrificed their lives to give us this freedom…and those who continue to fight for us all.

May God bless us all!

Have a great 2010! (We’re already half way through 2010, can you believe it!!!!)

Best Wishes,

Mike Antoni

PS - I’ve been looking over this site again and I recently had someone comment on how great this blog theme looks. So, I want to take a second and say thanks to an old friend of mine from way back who designed this blog and put it online for me back when I had no idea what I was doing. John - thanks man! This blog still looks modern and fresh even though it’s 4 years old now!
