Okay, so time to get down to bidness.



Another bad job of doom experience, check.

A tiny bit of money from horrid job, check.

Internetz, check.

Motivation to NEVER HAVE A JOB EVER #*$&#%@ AGAIN, check.


Alrighty, so first things first I have my goals and motivation written down, now I am at the stage where I need an idea so I can start DOIN WORK.

My first thoughts, at least a year ago, were some kind of website. Now though, not so much. To me it just seems like any a-hole that has a computer or heaven forbid an Ipad, has some sort of blog or website. It just seems like interneting is the thing to do these days. To me it goes against the " law of entry " ( <---- proof i did in FACT read the book :eusa_clap:). I feel the same way with apps as well. It just seems like everyone is doing it and thats just not my style.

I am more leaning towards the Inventing category. One of my strengths is solving problems. Super sweet skills i learned from construction. Everything in construction seems like a problem, so I had to evolve and learn to solve said problems. Some people also have told me that I should write something and that I am good at it. Not sure what they are smoking, but I am open to ideas.

One thing that I need to do is to switch my brain into " Idea Mode ", right now its hard for me to come up with anything so I need to put a lot of time into coming up with ideas no matter how crazy or moronic, just get me into idea mode.

Challenge numero uno. Come up with 50 ideas by Friday.


I remember reading or hearing somewhere to get on the Twitter machine and just search for " I hate " or " this makes me violently angry ". I will try that out and if anyone has any other ideas, it would be much appreciated. If I can come up with anything cool that helped me out, I will share as well.

DO WORK, Eli
