There can be no great accomplishment without risk.  ~Neil Armstrong

Getting out there

Part of telling people what you do is actually getting out there and making contact. Use the 6' rule, if they're six feet or closer, they are approachable. I spoke to 2 people today and shared with them about my business. I hope this is an encouragement.

Chances

In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took and the outcomes we will never know.
Be Fearless.

Big goals

If your goals don't scare you, they aren't big enough.

Dreams

I'm reading a book where the author is taking about dreaming big like children. He says in a study that was done of creative people and the levels of innovation in small children versus adults. The findings revealed that over 80% of children were extremely creative when they were five years old, but by seven years old- just two years later- only 10 percent of children showed any signs of creative thought. The percentage went down to two percent by 20yrs of age and strayed there through the rest of life.
We can still color outside the lines. As a matter of fact, we should to keep the dreams alive. Dream like a child and place goals to fulfill that dream.

Money works

In the last eight years, I surrounded myself with people who have made a lot of money. Each one has told me to get to a point where your money works for you. The best time to do this is when you're young. The power of compound interest.

Jim Rohn quote

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.”

Potential

The waste in dollars and cents was small compared with the waste of human potential. ~Ronald Reagan

Entrepreneur

A friend's son has a gum ball machine business. At the age of 14, he has over 400 machines and averages a dollar a day profit per machine, seven days a week. He is an entrepreneur. At 14, he earns more than many grown ups, while going to school and playing sports.

Kindle

I recently was given a kindle from my wife as a birthday present. I'm looking forward to all the information that is stored in there.
Remember, information is useless if you don't use it.

Good life

"You must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall." -- Jim Rohn

Motivation

Big day

I recently talked with an apartment complex about leaving my flyers there and they said they would put them in their "Welcome " pack to new move in's. This is a positive step for the business. The more people you talk to, the better the odds are of getting a sale, a client and maybe referrals for future business. Do not give up. Persistence is part of the battle and you beat 50% if the people by showing up.

Next step

Decide how much extra money you would like to make each month and then work on a plan to make that money.
My goal is $100/mo, starting out. You can build from whatever amount you start out at.
Once you start making the same amount on your part time gig as you do on your full time, you can plan on turning the part time in to full time.

Starting out

I have always heard, "start with where you are at and with what you have." I am doing just that. My business is in personal finance. I'm not worried about growing my business through this blog but hope to encourage the reader. If the reader would like to use some of the products mentioned, then I'm OK with that.
This is where our journey starts, today! I am taking the books I've read, podcasts I've listened to and the seminars I have attended, to grow the business I have.
Any one person in America can make it. I believe the knowledge is out there for us to soak up, like a sponge.
You need to find your passion. What drives you. What do you love to talk about more than anything.
I want to get people out of debt and show them how to do it and build wealth. I have quite a few people I can go to for help who are wealthy. These people will not loan me money but show me how to make it. I suggest you surround yourself with the same kind of people.
One of the things I do is refer clients to an auto/home insurance company to save on their premiums. It's a company that is on the up and up. I receive little commission but this is where I will start. This will also be my foundation and will journal my growth as time goes on, hoping that you get inspired.
My background is not close to being good with money but I was always good at numbers. So, in the words of Joe Walsh, I am an average, ordinary guy, who is at the age of 51. 
Hang on. It's time to get started.
