Quote of the day

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” – Thomas Edison

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.
