Topic: Background
I have worked in the trenches in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction Industries since the mid 1970's (draftsman, office manager, projects manager, civil engineering technician, sales associate, etc...). By doing so, I have met many wealthy (and not so wealthy) people and have helped them increase their portfolios. I give excellent advice, but have been too stubborn - lazy - procrastinating about taking my own advice.
Then, last year I found out about Early to Rise E-Zine. It inspired me to start taking my own advice.
I made a New Year's resolution to begin my wealth building program at the beginning of 2005.
The first step I took was to learn from others' accomplishments and advice. So I bought "Automatic Wealth.
I was already inspired (to start taking my own advice) because of my daily dosage of the ETR E-Zine and was anxious to create a web site asap. But when I was only a couple of chapters into "Automatic Wealth" (see link below), I realized that I needed to structure my plan in more detail.
I went into a learning mode. It was hard to do, since I had psyched myself up so much for several months - procrastination being my deadliest influencer. But I forced myself into maintaining my progressive learning program.
While reading "Automatic Wealth" I began to position myself to be a better sales person at my weekend job at a local home-builder's office (Heritage Homes of Mobile). Soon afterwards I was offered two additional workdays at the same business. This worked nicely since I had reached a burn-out point in my fifteen year old full time drafting and technical support business (GFB Services). I decided to take a year off from my home based business and continued my learning program by reading the rest of Michael Masterson's book "Automatic Wealth" (bought at Amazon.com
