It seems like only yesterday I decided to register this domain name and start blogging…but boy have things changed since then. 1 year ago I didn’t have much of anything. I owned a cell phone store, but didn’t make very much more than a VERY modest living.

I spent the majority of my time working away 10 hours a day at the store, I didn’t really go out much and the idea of vacations seemed like something OTHER people did.

Fast forward 1 year later. I’ve achieved a lot of my goals. I went from earning around $1000 a month working 10 hour days 6 days a week to now earning in excess of $30,000 dollars my last month working as an internet marketer. I’m not bragging, I’m EXCITED, lol.

In America, today is Independence day. When I started this blog last year, I chose this day for a specific reason. I knew that the internet would provide me with the chance to experience TRUE independence…which is to do what you want, when you want, and with who you want.

Right now I’m sitting at a small desk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. I’m staying with one of my business partners at their condo in Daytona Beach. I never would have guessed when I started this site that I’d be at an expensive condo only 1 year later. It really is true! What you think about, you bring about.

Life is nothing more than what we make of it. We can spend our time making excuses or making money. We can’t make both. I invite you to join me this year in pursuing your dreams and goals.

I have a lot more to accomplish. I’m still working on my weight loss goals, and you can check out my progress here:

This blog now shares mostly free internet marketing information. I actually need to get the layout changed, which I think I’ll do soon.

Oh and about Internet Marketing. Be on the lookout for a launch coming up Friday night at Midnight. It’s the 7 Figure Code by Mike Filsaime.

You can get the details here:

I’ll be offering an AWESOME bonus for those who purchase through my link. I’m partnering with Lisa Diane (my friend and mentor) and we’ll working out an INCREDIBLE bonus deal. Stay tuned for more on that.

Finally - I want to say THANK YOU for everyone who’s been with me reading this blog since last year. I need to say a special thank you to Ryan and Melissa who kept encouraging me and leaving comments, . Thank you guys for your
support.

Failure is not an option, it’s an outcome. Basically, life is a set of failures, each one leading us closer and closer to a predetermined outcome of our choice. Allow me to explain further.

How many people try anything grand? How many people take the risk to be something more, do something great, or achieve something extraordinary. The real answer is not many. Most people have the desire to leave behind a legacy, but lack the courage to take action.

Not everyone is called to such things, but some are. Are you? I have often wondered about my own life and what I’m exactly  here to do. I’m not here to get by, I know that for sure. I’m not here to make it to the weekend so I can enjoy myself.

As a matter of fact, I’m not even here for myself. I’m here for others. I’m here to make them happy, to show them there is a better way to live, if they want to follow the path. But the problem is too many people are afraid. That’s right.  They’re afraid they aren’t going to succeed.

Really, they’re scared of what they perceive to be a dirty 4 letter world. F A I L.

They fear failure. They think it’s something that means they were wrong, they screwed up, and it’s over. But what I believe failure is…is so so much more than that.

Failure is the process by which success happens.

Failure is a stepping stone to greatness. Most anyone who ever did great things first failed greatly as something. What have you failed lately?

I’ve heard it said Einstein failed math. Edison “failed” with the light bulb thousands of times, and the list goes on.

Here, look at this video - Famous Failures

If you’re out there reading this and you want to do, be, or have something more than GO FOR IT. The only way to succeed is to take action.

Someone said the hardest part of doing something is doing it. Sounds funny, but it’s true.

I leave you with this quote:

The Mansion Of Success Is Built On The Foundation Of Failure
