This week my wife and I are moving to Portland Oregon. We’ve purchased a catering business and we’re on our way. No more rude Orange County attitudes and no more traffic at 2:00 a.m.

Well I think that I’m well on my way to achieving my goal of having a completely different life from last year. This week my wife and I will be moving to Portland Oregon and buying a catering business (something we’ve wanted to do for a while but not had the courage). Wish us luck!
It’s amazing that so often when people describe changing their life it’s primarily a physical concept. They discuss quitting their job to sail around the world, or they talk about wanting to have a child, or go back to school.
The changes that I’m experiencing at the moment are more internal and have to do with confidence and perspective. It’s been a long journey, but I’m finally starting to see myself as a trader and not as someone who desires to be a trader. I see this as a major milestone towards achieving the physical goals that I’ve set for myself.
So if you have the chance and haven’t already done so, I encourage you to think and dream towards your goals. I think you’ll find that this will make the physical accomplishment of those goals that much more accessible.
