learning sooo Much

I swear I am learning a lot!!!  Even though no one is following my blog it is okay cuz this is for me and not you!!!

So I learned yesterday many of things:

1. Don't be afraid.  That fact that you are afraid means that you care about yourself.  Use that care for good, not to slow you down.  Use it as a reason to go do things and not to stop you from things.

2. Do what ever the fuck you want to do.  It is your life, don't let anyone tell you how to live it.  Even more so, don't let yourself stop yourself from living your life due to high expectation that you might not fill.
     I recently was doing that.  I was not doing the things that I wanted to do because I had too high of expectations for myself.  And instead of trying to meet those expectations I would just do nothing.  It was horrible.  A good friend said to me, "Reach for the stars or die trying"  I like this quote even though I like the quote from Jay-Z that says "to try and to fail the two things I hate, To succeed and this rap game the two things that are great"  Jay-Z means that you don't try you just do.

That is most of what I have learned of recently.  This blog will get more technical about how to make money when I get to that point in my life. (which should be very soon)  Hope the huge audience out there will enjoy the reading.  BITCH!!!!

Get Out of My HEAD!!!

Damn I feel like there is some one in my head who is fucking annoying the shit out of me.  He is always putting me down and stopping me from doing the things that I want to do.  He is driving me crazy!!!  I DON'T WANT TO BE AFRAID ANYMORE!!! I just want to be myself.  I'm tired of trying to be liked by anybody.  If you don't like me that is your problem not mine.  I know what I am going to do in my life and that is success by my definition. 

I thought this self esteem problems were suppose to be done with when I finished high school?  Why are they still here?  Do they ever go away? I think the answer to these questions can come from Wu-Tang in a track titled C.R.E.A.M.

But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain

I believe this is the truth.  By hard work and keeping myself busy I wont have time for these negative thoughts.

Why am I writing this?  I am writing it because since I am going through this problem I am pretty sure someone else is too.  If I want to be rich I got to learn to overcome this problem that I am having.  How I do it? I am not sure yet.  Hard work. Figuring out how to turn off the man inside my head. Maybe learning how to utilize the man for good instead of what he is doing to me now.  I think the sense of accomplishment would help out a lot in this situation. I am sure that there are more ways. Lets see what becomes of this...

Get it while the Gettin' is Good

I was listening to some Too Short while driving down the road.  The song is titled "Gettin' It".  And it talks about how you got to go out and get what you want.   You can not just wait around for someone to hand you everything you want.  If you want something go out there and put in the work to go get it.  Because in the end no one is going to hand you anything, you have to take it yourself.

That is what I'm going to do.  Not just about money terms but about everything.

What First?

I was planning on making this nest post about how if you want to be successful in life then the first step is to surround yourself with people who are successful and happy.  However, because of events that happened tonight I now change this to surround yourself with people who you can trust, and motivate you and want similar goals as you.  I do not mean that they need to have the same goal,  they just need to have goals and a desire to progress.  This is important because your friends will help you out when you need advice.  More importantly they will listen to you when you need someone to listen to you.  (Funny enough this blog is for a similar purpose.  I am using it as a place for me to vent and to keep me motivated.  Don't think that this blog is my only friend tho.)

The second important thing that I have learned lately is that when a task seems overwhelming it probably is.  I don't know how many times I have wanted to do some huge goal but could never get myself started because I didn't know where to start.  From now on I will just start where I want to because there is no right place to start.  When you color a picture in a coloring book is there a certain place that everyone starts coloring at or is it up to the person?  It is up to the person.  Not only that but when you just start everything else seems to fall into place and the entire project gets done.  It is like those ancestry.com commercials where the slogan is, "you don't need to know what your looking for, you just need to start looking."  Well in my life it is time that I start looking before I end up somewhere I don't want to.  Along the same lines I would always say, when a task is too large and I don't know where to start that "not making a decision is still making a decision."

About Me and My Mission

My name is Josh. I am starting an exciting time in my life where I am a junior in college and I need to decide what I am going to do after I graduate college.  I have made my decision.  My decision is to be RICH!!!  I am not completely sure how I am going to do this but I have a few ideas.

I am writing this blogs so I and others can  follow my progression as I go from rags to riches.  I will tell of my progression, my successes and failures as I go from being dirt broke to becoming a successful entrepreneur. I will post articles that help me find financial freedom and make uncommon metaphors to help explain the things that I learn as I learn them.  My hope is to help myself and others gain financial freedom through my trial and error.
