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!

Hi There!

I am feeling very refreshed after my mini-vacation the last couple of days. I went to Orlando and witnessed Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas. It was a blast and I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Christmas and Mickey Mouse!

I got back last evening and spent today “recovering” from my trip. In the afternoon I took a little break and went and saw The Pursuit of Happyness. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, I’ll tell you.

It’s a movie based on the true life story of Chris Gardener, a once homeless man turned multi-millioniare. Chris Gardener is played by Will Smith and Will Smith’s real life son plays Chris Gardener’s son in the movie.

I won’t spoil the details of The Pursuit of Happyness, but I will say this. The story teaches many lessons about what it takes to be a success. Chris Gardener had every excuse in the world to give up, quit, or not even try.

Everyday we are given “ways out”. We are constantly faced with the decision to continue on or give up. Sometimes we make wrong choices and are left to deal with those consequences, but that’s ok. That is how we learn and grow.

Chris Gardener was homeless, broke, jobless, and carless…he had every right to just sit back and complain about his situation. Instead he focused on what he did have…intelligence and dedication. He used those two assets to work his way up the stock broker world and….

I’ll stop there and let you watch the movie yourself. But, if you’re out there right now and using excuses, don’t do it. It won’t help you in any way. The people who succeeed do so in spite of their circumstances, not because of them.

Find your niche in life and never quit learning. You are capable of more than you ever thought possible.

Now, go to the theater and watch The Pursuit of Happyness. The story of Chris Gardener is truly inspirational and life changing.
