I Love My Family!
Why would a 34 year old CPA with two masters degrees and a great job at a Fortune 500 company want to leave his career behind? The answer is simple...because I love my family. I have the most wonderful wife in the world and I love being a dad to our four great kids. One of the most important gifts I can give to my family is my time. I've always dreamed of being a stay-at-home dad, but I've never really challenged myself to make it a reality. So, I've decided to take a different road than most with a goal of bringing myself home (with my family's help, of course)!
If you would also like to retire from your day job in less than three years and run a successful Internet business, I encourage you to join us! The beauty of a web based business is that it doesn't have to take much time or money. I plan to spend just one to two hours per day running the business. And I'm starting with a very small budget. In fact, most of the Internet marketing techniques I use are free!
How it All Began...
A few days before Easter Sunday 2007, my oldest daughter (8 years old) was telling me that she was 100 months old...that's over 3000 days! And it seems like just yesterday we were bringing our first newborn baby home from the hospital. My mother was right about time flying by faster as you get older! I knew I had to find a way to bring myself home before another 8 years flew by.
The 1000 Day Challenge...
After working in the corporate world for over 12 years, I know enough to make a SMART goal. It should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. My goal is also very simple. Here it is...
I will do one thing every day for 1000 days to build a life-long income. My goals is to build a web-based business that will replace my income from my job by January 2010. To make this a real challenge my initial budget is just $100 (I'll re-invest profits as necessary to grow the business). And, I will spend only 1 or 2 hours per day growing this business...my family comes first!
Will it take me 1000 days? Maybe. Or maybe it will take a lot less. I'm just going to do my part (do something every day to grow the business) and leave the timing up to God. I've learned many life lessons about my timing and God's timing being different...this time I'll let Him have control.
You're invited to join us on this journey!
If you would also like to create an income stream that will bring you home, you're not alone! In fact in Ellie Kay's book, "Half Price Living", she metions that in a recent survey, 86% of working moms...
