Hope this is able to give some of you motivation and inspiration.
It is actually very simple. I am in Texas and I no longer want to be. I decided to move to California for a few reasons, all related to business.
No friends
No contacts
No house
Nothing
(When I started)
I keep a sharp eye on my cash flow. I review receipts every night before I go to bed. As a result I keep monthly expenses VERY low (bills + debt = slave). I was raised on $2000 a year, so doing without does not bother me at all.
Utilizing opportunities and resources I bring in a monthly income of 350-600/month passively now (I say passive but at the most 40 hours of work a month)
Housing? That caused a problem until I remembered one thing...Who needs a house???? Pay the man, you kidding?? I am going to live in my car. How? I am buying a portable washer and dryer to have in my car so I can always wash clothes. Sleep in the back. Where will I park? College apartments. As for showers and food I am working on that right now. Originally I was just going to buy a ton of ramen noodles and water and eat them cold. But as that is not a healthy option I am considering a few other things. The car is temporary until I move in somewhere. But I would rather be shot than pay rent to anyone. So I will probably do the old "live in one side rent out the other" at some point.
I am getting college for free through my reserve service. I am doing a business major related to my goals. At this point I am planning on accounting. But that is subject to change depending on how things fit into my future business system.
The goal is not school though. I am going to use all of my free time (I should have a lot) to water my money seed. Network. Find opportunity. Provide value. You get the drift.
This plan took a little while to construct and constantly (still is) evolved. It took a lot of creativity to solve issues that I am faced with. System is much more important than the event.
At first it sounded really freaking stupid and far out of reach. But I made it a reality. Why? Because I wanted to. I want to go to California. Nothing will stop me. I am still facing obstacles but I will trudge on.
My point for saying all of this. You can do it too. Anything you want. It may sound far out of reach but I promise you can accomplish crazy things if you believe and execute. Its all in your head. Just one step at a time.
How bad do you want it?
I am thinking about creating a progress thread on this. If there is any interest?
