01/01/2014: 2014 Goals: Happy New Year! Here's to a successful 2014!

     When I look back at every year for the past couple decades, I always remember one thing.  At midnight as I toasted to the new year, with champagne glass in hand, I would tell myself that this is going to be the year that I will find success.  Even after years of failures etc, I always kept an optimistic outlook.  Well, this year is different.  I am convinced that this year will be an incredible one working with Greg as my mentor.  
    The year 2013 started out as a rough one and I didn't have really any true business opportunities show themselves to me.  But, that all changed in October when I sent my book proposal to Greg.  It has been a whirlwind of excitement since that day.  I never dreamed that I would be in London working face to face with such a successful man.
   So, 2014 promises to be an exciting year.  I can only imagine what my year-end wrap-up will consist of.  In preparation for a successful year on many levels, personal, professional and financial, I have started to write down my goals.  I have defined my personal goals as show below.  
    One thing that Greg and I discussed in London, was some of the things on my life goal list and why I couldn't start doing them right now as some level.  Actually he said "no more bullshit, just do something!"  Well, one of my goals was to begin volunteer work and to mentor others.  So, I just signed up with an organization called Icouldbe.  I will be mentoring and working with disadvantaged and challenged teens.  It promotes education, life skills and personal growth..  Another goal I had was to start writing.  I have begun writing the beginning chapters of the Making of a Millionaire book.  I have also begun work on my first children's book, something else I have wanted to do for a long time.  So, I am off to a good start on my personal goals.  I will report back with my professional goals after I meet with Greg

Happy New Year Folks!  I wish you all a very prosperous 2014!

Here's to your success!
