This is the first day of my challenge. I’ve set myself twelve months from today to be finanically independent enough to have the choice whether to work for someone else or not.

Is it going to work?

I’m determined that it is!

But how am I going to do it?

Well, that’s the tough part isn’t it?

I’ve always wanted to write, and I have about a thousand ideas. So, the first thing I’m doing is getting some information products written and am going to try and market those. This means instructional manuals and how-to books on a variety of topics. There are information marketers who make millions on as few as six or seven products. For me the challenge isn’t really getting products. I love to write, and getting the ideas for these things isn’t a problem. The problem is in finding the time to do it, with a job, two kids, and two part-time jobs - it’s tough to find and spare time at all.

And I know very little about marketing, whether on the internet or off it. And I plan on trying both methods.

I’m confident that I’ll succeed.

But I also know that it will be a lot of work!

I have to do this. My health is suffering from the stress of my current lifestyle. I can’t live worrying about money all the time and whether I’m going to be able to feed my kids properly or if I’m going to lose my house. It’s too much!

The first step in my plan is actually to take in a roommate. There’s someone coming to look at the room today, so I hope that goes well. That will be a bit of a sacrifice for me and the kids. But we’ll manage.

The next step is is getting some information products up and available for the public! I’ll keep you posted tomorrow on how that is going, since I have one thing that I tried to sell in the past, which I’ll put up and try again [I think I sold one copy of it... :( ]

Naturally, I’m willing to work with partners. My forté is developing good products and writing. If your specialty if marketing, then we can probably work something out… And that could be one of my many steps to freedom!
