I read all the books I could, I gained all the knowledge necessary, beaten all my addictions. I believe now is the time to take action, anything other than that is already procrastination. So this is a diary of my progress. I'm committing every morning 6am - 8am and 8pm - 10pm) on my entrepreneurial journey.
