Journey to the Upper Classes
Realizing I dont want to live the same life of my parents I decided to "get rich". Not really as make millions of dollars per year. But as Tim Terriss suggested in 4 hour workweek, get rich by "freeing my time". In other words, create a means of income without needing to work at a job at a set schedule.
To do that I will do as he suggested. Create a Business. Then autonomictize it. I know thats not a word. But you get the idea. I've been toying w. creating a T shirt business for the last 6 months? maybe? but its a good number. And now its finally down to the actual investment park. Initial investment would be 30k. meaning 2/3 of my 1st year of work income. Am i scared? Yes. will this businesss work? who knows. But its my first step to "getting rich". I guess starting this blog will help me keep a record on how to "get rich" so maybe one day for anyone who doesnt want to live in middleclass forever will have a guide, well a bit of a guide, to help them along their way.
One thing big obstacle that I have is procrastination, with iono. mental fatigue? After work, I just dont want to do ANYTHING. no more critical thinking. just want to let my brains melt down and watch TV or mindlessly blast away on starcraft 2. I wish I was a robot, never tired. never hungry, never needing to rest. Another thing. not sure if its because i dont sleep a lot, like 5-6 hours a day? but I feel like my heads in the midle of a mud pool and it takes a shitload of effort to kind of swim out and see things clearly. again. maybe its a lack of sleep. but who knows. Working night shift DOES give you insomnia. amazing how I can not sleep for 18 hours and still be awake at 4 in the morning not tired. at all. but anyway. until next time.
I am surprised a bit. "Getting Rich" road is quite a lonely road. When i try to convince my friends to join me on my journey. I get a lot of skepticalism. and no followers or leaders. I guess no one really wants to get rich.

I have not updated in a while. Nor have I been completing my goals. I seem to have a weak will these days. a lack of motivation to do things. my body finally recovered from working at metro. no more aches, legs not killing me anymore. no more blisters on my feet. i wonder how long that will last. but in the meantime i guess i can finally recover my body and build it up again.
These last few days i've been in the classroom relearning a lot of things. very. very. boring. still work 5 days a week. spending much time on the train. w. much time to reflect about my life. i honestly hate my life right now. i hate how weak and pathetic i gotten both physically and mentally. What i really want right now is a passion to do something. anything. just a strong passion to pursue a skill, or whatever. at least complete something. but it is hard to do when everything does seem so pointless. all my schemes to get rich never seems to work out. i guess i lost tons of money because i was too chicken to invest more into stocks when i had the chance. should i continue to invest? i dont know.
i remember an exercise that the elementary teacher wanted us to do. write down what you want to be 20 years from now. or something along tohse lines. i would say i'm getting there. so. what. was it. i guess it was work in a nice office, make lots of money, etc. haha. i guess i didnt receive a single thing i wanted as a kid. but then again, values do change. i don't want a office job. though.. i guess it would be pretty nice. and do i want a lot of money? i guess. money is always good. but though i always talk about getting rich. i don really value money. i mean there is just nothing else to do with my time at the moment. and having extra money never hurts. i remember in high school all i wanted was a girl. to make that individual the happiest on earth. and that would be my goal in my life. to live for someone else. now. i dont know anymore. maybe, i've become more selfish. or maybe i just stopped caring about everything. but now i really dont know what i really want to do with my life. and as i get into this routine of work, every night before my sleep i'd scream in despair into my pillow. another year of work. work. work. night shift. adjusting. spending hours on the train. coming home exhausted. lose weight. nothing. ever. changing. and then whats even worse. its a wash rinse and repeat. since hospital is where i will be... for probably years. this will keep repeating. and repeating. and repeating. and i don't want it to be like where i'll just work work work save. save. live in brief moments and die at the end. i need to find a way to escape from this life. why is it. that we work all our lives and save. for some shit end. but yet. even though i say this. i am doing nothing different to alter my future. what. can. i do. to change my future. to escape this work many days. w. few days of freedom.
I remember long ago when i went to church. something w. Adam and Eve. how they feel from paradise into earth. and yes i feel this is true. this world is always a fight between joy and sadness. enjoying life in brief moments with long long periods of stress, anger, despair. one can view the joy as a blessing to life, or a mockery. just there to make our long periods of unhappiness feel even worse. i know i'm not explaining this very clearly. but simply said. there can be no joy without the opposite. and you can figure out the rest from there. I am too afraid to live a life i want to live. too stupid to know how to pursue a life that i want. and too afraid to take a shortcut and just move on in life. hence i wish i've never been born. that is the ultimate lazy way out. and thats it for tonights rambo.

Alright! so Blog it is. I guess no one really wants to read all words. maybe cartoons is neededto illustrate my point. so much scattered things in my mind. what to really focus on now. same problem w. creating a class. unifying the things people should know. under one topic. niche. something ppl will go back to time and again.

Alright. So now to begin a plan to research and set up a buisness. something i have no idea on doing. so the solution?
finish all contents of http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/counseling-training by next week and look for additional resources i may need. actually scratch that. there has to be something better than that site. i feel its too general to be of use.
Things i need to figure out.
my product. ( what content will i be giving out)
how much to charge
how much it costs?
and to who should i be focusing on. what else is there?

So I finished most of the Four Hour Work Week Book. And unforunately. Most of the book does not apply to me at the momement. So right now I will have to find me a niche. and start a business to generate me income. and Yes. I have already thought of one. can't most it here. will be on my computer. now i just have to go through the steps of researching, pricing etc. i have 0 business experience, and no clue on how to get it started. getting rich is not as easy as it looks. but gotta keep w. the motto, of keeping the end in mind when starting a buisness.
Also to say. His idea of being productive and breaking away from the 8 hour workday should be applied to elementary, jr high and high school. especially college. i always feel that we spend so much time in school, learning things. that makes no sense and have no value in life. i mean of course its good to be exposed to everything, but honestly. i dont remember a single thing. well most things i learned in high school AND college. scary on how fast the mind forgets. or is it me that forgets. in 2 days. i will be back at work. i have to get a plan going underway so i can focus and get my goals done even if i have work.

Time Line 6 Months. Four Hour Week advised doing.
5 Things I dream of having (i'm not a big materialistic person though..)
1. Driver License
2. Brooklyn House
3. kickass body
4. Successful Business
5. 100k in bank
5 Things I dream of being (god i never knew how hard this can be.)
1. a good swimmer
2. a piano player
3. a good chinese speaker/writer
4. computer literate
5. massage therapist
5 Things I dream of doing
1. Travel around the entire world. excluding Antarctica
2. Finishing a obstacle course
3. Climb a huge mountain
4. Camp in the wilds for a month
5. Complete the P90X workout
out of these 15. I'm suppose to choose 4 dream goals? and create steps for each.
ok. lets choose some easy/hard ones so i'm not totally dicourage.
1. Kickass Body
Step 1.
30 pushups in AM/PM. w. 30 crunches in PM x1 week.
Step 2.
40 pushups in AM/PM. w. 40 crunches in PM x1 week.
Step 3.
Start P90x workout and go from there to finish.
2. Successful Business.
Step 1. Reread how to research into creating a product/starting business in Four hour work week.
Step 2. Read 3 books on marketing, starting own business. and last one to be determined on what I need.
Step 3. Create/Brainstorm my idea. (so far i'm thinking about cartoons which i'm very interested in.. but thats not something that will actually generate any income i think. but more research have to be done before i can see)
3. Learn Chinese
Step 1. Buy 3 books w. Chinese words/Grammer (done just now)
Step 2. Do 5-10 pages a day 1 book.
Step 3. Read a chinese newspaper.
4. Computer Literate
Step 1. Read a computer article on howstuffwork.com each day
Step 2. Learn how internet/connection work.
Step 3. Build own comp.
As you can see by goal 4 i'm a bit.. whatever.. if i can do 1-3. then that would make me.. already 3x more productive then i am now.
The book also said limiting email/facebook time to a max of 2 times a day. and then cutting down to 1x a day. I will try this. and i will stop non-productive things and try to be more productive in general i guess. maybe i should have this list w. me throughout my entire day so i can constantly refer back to my goals. well we'll see how i do. the problem is a lack of time. i really need to concentrate on this business thing first to try to get something going for me so i can have more time to concentrate on other things.
First comfort Challenge to begin tommrow.
I will look into whoevers eye i pass on the streets. wonder how it'll go.
on the side note. i hope i'm not violating any copyright laws here. and if anyone reads this and wants to join in w. me please leave a comment so we'll both try to be super successful together. always more motivating if there's someone to relate w.

Start of the life of New Rich
So my friend suggested the book The Four Hour Work Week. By T. Ferris. so far i read the first 80 pages. and wow this guy talks a lot of stuff that sounds really good. but at the same time he already had set up a good company though a lot of work before he started to change his approach. i really wonder if i can do something similar and escape my life. but i guess its better i try to do something than to do nothing. Maybe when i become successful so will this blog. double win for me.
Questions he posed.
Define your nightmare, the absolute worst that could happen if you did what you are considering.
If i quit my nursing job. As of now to start a new business. that may fail. i'd end up in bankruptcy. no job. no money. failure. shame w. family. w. friends. will never get a girl. have to continue to live w. parents. in shame. no freedom. dependent. then will have to go back to nursing. probably move to arizona or someplace that will take me back as a nurse. Relocation. Setback in asain life goal of hose family stability. by 10+ years. so give 1-2 years around age. 36 i'll be back where i was at age 26. maybe worse off. most time is permanent. how likely it will happen? well not ALL of it. but maybe most.
What steps could you take to repair the damage or get things back on the upswing, even if temporarily?
move to new mexico, arizona, texas and start working there. pick up two jobs and work. every. single. day. or kill myself.
What are the outcomes or benefits both temporary and permanent of more probable scenarios?
One. if i succeed. i can have more free time to do what i want. have more money. reach stability faster. be happy. have money. not be stuck working from age now. 23 (almost 24) til age 60+. now that i think of it. thats a very very long time. to be doing the whole work work work. and work. work. work. work. work. thing. thinking about it makes me want to throw up.
If you were fired from your job today, what would you do to get things under financial control?
Thats easy.. i'd just cut out all excess spending. netflix, games, etc. i still live at home. minimal living costs. and find me another job.
What are you putting off out of fear?
Fear of failure. losing time, losing money. time is money. lost time is lost money. translates to lost good times. without stability and money you won't be at peace enough to enjoy your life.
What is costing you- financially, emotionally, and physically to postpone action.?
1 year experience in nursing. that way i can have something to fall back on before i go crazy with some crazy idea that may fail so at least i have something to fall back on. If i don't pursue a path of richness and awesomeness. 1 year down the road i'd still be living most likely in my parents house. working saving. 5 years. most likely. still living at my parents house. saving. finally having enough to buy a house. 10 year. working at same job still. saving to finish paying off the same house. that would be age. 34.
What am i waiting for?
that 1 year. am i afraid yes. i will use this year to get ready and get my ideas and plan under way.
