[Fastlane Diary] $4,000 a month by 2012

Welcome to my diary. I'm looking to make $10,000 a month by 2017 $4,000 a month by 2012.

I will keep the community updated every day of the week on my progress. I should set up a bank account so that I have to give $5 to the first person who calls me out when I forget to update 😀
__________________________________________________________________

Field : e-business
Ideas : Educational Browser&Facebook Game [dream project], Poker, Personal Finance, and/or Study Guide eBooks for french market -> advice appreciated on what I should prioritize on ! I'm leaning towards pers.finance eBook atm (The eBooks would be something I'd pay $50 for MYSELF, so I'll definitely put serious work into them)

Net worth as of this month : $50
Income in January : $0

Here is a list of short-term 'milestones' to keep me on track that I'll update frequently :
[] $250 in savings
