Entrepreneur Experiment - Background

Entrepreneur Experiment - Background


I thought it would be helpful to begin this experiment with a bit of background information about myself, this will allow for a base line, as well as provide you with some of the variables in my life that I am dealing with while attempting to create a successful business.


My Current Situation
I am a 29 soon to be 30 year old male, I have two young children there ages are one and three, currently working a full time job as a programmer while also going to school full time for a degree in Technical Management.


My Why
This is a very important question for me.... My WHY, why do I want to be a successful entrepreneur, what is it going to provide me? When it comes down to it I have a two answers, first my family they are the most important to me and above all my priority, with this said I am trying to learn how I can dedicate the time and effort needed to become successful while ensuring they are not neglected along the way. The goal is to create enough wealth so that my family can really enjoy life and not have to stress financially I don't care to much about being rich just wealthy enough so that we can survive comfortably in the future with a minimal part of our day dedicated to work.
The second reason why I decided to start this journey my attraction to leadership, I have always felt drawn to positions of leadership from a young age, and with this attraction over the last 5 years I have been feeding my brain many of the theories and practices put into place by successful people and companies to achieve great things, this is something I am passionate about as I would like to be put into a position that I can lead and be a positive part of others lives.


Through out this blog I intend to post every other day, some post may be extremely boring but I want to show impovement with each post, and at least a few action items completed towards the end goal. Like I said in my description try not to be to critical as this is a work in progress and the first time I've wrote a blog honestly, but I would love to hear comments especially ones that offer advice because I know there is no way for my to become successful alone, but only by the help and advice of many others.


So if you start reading these posts I hope it becomes a fun and energetic story for you, and one that leads to a great success!


Enjoy
