"Hum, you might have made a typo... I think you meant self-made multi-millionaire?"

No. I wrote billionaire. Yes! As in 1000 x $1M. Well, I am talking CAD, so perhaps self-made almost billionaire?

In all seriousness. My goal is to earn $1 Billion. I want to generate enough value in this world to reach that milestone. When I do, I commit to giving 10% to a charitable cause.

How will I do that? I have F*cking no clue.

Now to the juicy part. Execution. I decided:
1. To worship execution.
2. Focus on generating value
3. Constantly growing
4. Enjoy the process

What have I done? A week ago I had no clue what copy or copywriting was. While reading various threads, I realized it is crucial. So, I picked a book & I am learning. By Friday I will have read enough for deliberate practice.

Mind you. English is not my first language. Never formally try to learn how to "properly" write. - Hell, I have a funny accent - I read a lot, which I am sure helped. So it will be fun

So from there, the objective is to attain practice based fluency. Upwork and LinkedIn (thx bud @IceCreamKid. :fistbump: Your thread added tremendous value) will be my testing grounds.

I feel crazy posting this. But hey, you guys will keep me accountable. So let's go & feel free to join the journey.
