get better at speaking in public (read all 4 entries…)
Good Progress! 2 weeks ago

I have completed a Speech Craft course that was provided by my employer. In about 6 weeks I have to give a short speech to a small group that includes my regional and state manager. After that is completed I will consider this goal complete, while there is still much room for improvement. I think it would be a good idea o back this experience up with further development in Toast Masters.

make a million dollars in 18 months
A Simple Concept. 1 month ago

I heard about a guy that runs a seminar about how he made a million in 18 months. The principle behind it is very simple. Start with a small amount and focus on doubling it. When you have doubled it, start working on a way to double it again.

I don’t expect this to be easy but it seems achievable when its broken down into these smaller steps.

I’m almost at the end of my first month… I’ve bought about $380 dollars worth of stuff at garage sales that I think I can sell for more, using Ebay. I have to get the stuff listed this weekend to keep on track.
They say the first million is the hardest, so lets see.
