This was one of the goals that is always in the back of your mind and never seems to make it to the front. I wouldn’t say that I did it on a whim either, there were a culmination of factors leading up to me actually doing it. This weekend I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Riding course and passed! This means I can finally get my motorcycle license. I also went out and bought a bike, so the journey starts here I guess.

How I did it: I quit my job, kept a decent relationship with my former employer and I still pull in work from them. I also built a few sites that generate automated revenue and hope to build more as I get more time. I am building a business website and redoing my personal website. I have also built a decent network of other business owners in my niche. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I would look into this again if I found a group that had meetings with more attendees and a more focused agenda. This was more of a way to sell ideas to people without money. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Moved, change of scenery and priorities. I really just became to busy to deal with hang overs and wasted nights. Kind of like the fast food thing, you just have to change your every day habits and rituals. Read how I did it…
