Although I woke up this morning without the excitement and determination of yesterday, I was still able to tell myself that I'm a Millionaire. That is my goal - to be a millionaire in 5 years. The first step is reaching $1k a month with my home based business by the end of the year. But first, lets start with what I've learned over the last year and how I got to this starting point.

2012 has been unlike any other year. I dedicated it to a year of self growth with a mission to learn new things and conquer some fears. One specific goal was to read 1 book a month. I've read 10 books so far and getting ready to start my 11th. I've provided a list below of what I've read and my thoughts on each. The most important thing I've learned from reading all the books is ACTION. What the books have told me to do means nothing without action. This is why I've started this blog and why I've started to Act.

As a transman my self confidence has been stunted by living in the wrong body for so long. Over the last 2 years I've been able to "complete" my transition which has unlocked the opportunity to build my confidence. I started my journey with the reading of those books. I went paragliding, skydiving, and I've learned to ride a motorcycle. All of which have been boosts to my confidence. In addition to accomplishing these, I've created a new list - 12 Things I Want To Learn. I will spend 30 days learning each new thing.

Next - Why did I start my own business? I started my own business because I wanted a different life. I wanted more money, more time, more options, more opportunities, and to be free from debt. As I start building my business, the constant factor will be self growth. My business will grow when I grow.
