Hello everyone,
Last month was my birthday and it got me thinking about life and my business. I turned 20 years old which gives me less than 2 years to retire if I had planned too. It is 2 years because I can retire any day before I am 22 which gives me exactly 708 days. Which means I have to think big and fast.
The next question was do I want to actually Retire when I am 21, the whole idea of it is to be financial stable to do what ever I want when I want. A true entrepreneur will never be able to just stop thinking about business, they will always want to move onto bigger and better things. If I was able to sell my websites in a couple years time I would definitely invest a large amount of the money into a new business because that’s just me, I enjoy business!
If you want something in life, you got to reach out and grab it. A lot of young people are too comfortable, they don’t seem to mind their ordinary lifestyle. A lot of them will end up working for “The Man” and will never achieve what they really want in life. Two years ago I dropped out of Collage and began my quest to make it big online and I believe I have done a great job so far. I have watched a few friends over the last two years and they are in the same place as they were then. You got to keep moving forward in life and not settle for second best.
Working from home means I can wake up at 11am, stroll out of bed and grab some breakfast then maybe play a few computer games and start work. If that sounds like you, which I am sure a lot of you will think so, then stop what you are doing right now and ask yourself, are you satisfied with that because I can tell you right now that if you are then expect to see yourself there in the exact same place in a years time. Making a few hundred dollars a month is easy but if you want to make millions and be the next Mark Zuckerberg then you have to work every minute god gives you.

My Plans For 2009
Wake up earlier everyday, the early bird catch’s the worm and I find when I get up early I do achieve a lot more.
Daily updates, I want to post new content on my forum, blog, news section and interviews every day.
Become more healthy and exersise more, you work better when your well. We are all self employeed and when you are self employee and you are ill, there is no one usualy to cover you.
Join a meet up or group of like minded people. Networking and and hanging round other clever people can only be good news for your business.
To our success in 2009,
Michael Dunlop

Hmm same new years resolutions as me! Lol. Good Luck Michael.
It’s true, you have to set a date and work toward it. Otherwise you’ll surely waste time. I’ll be 27 in June, which is dangerously close to being 30 (ahhh!) and not having achieved real success. My early and mid 20s were spent trying to climb the corporate ladder with no real goals(what a waste!).
But this time last year I set a goal to survive working for myself, and here I am alive and kicking without a “job.” Now it’s on to bigger things; no more thinking small.
‘08 seems to have been a great year for both of us. Now let’s make ‘09 ten times better.
You counting days to retire now. It is positive way to light and keep the fire. I wish you all the best to reach your goal much sooner than 708 days.
