21 WEEKS - A journey of CHANGE, Self-Improvement and Money Making.

22 replies
Hey guys,
Something happened this weeks and I wanted to share it with you.

I'm 19 y/o and I've been one way or the other involved in Internet Marketing for 2 years now. I've had a lot of websites and blogs, and I can say I've had some success in this field. But that's not enough, I want to take it to the next level.

I've been in college studying business and economics for a while now, but it somehow wasn't living up to my expectations. I know a college education is something that shouldn't be taken for granted, specially not today. But, I thought I had a lot more to give than that.

They gave me the change to freeze the year and start once again in August. of course, several people didn't want this for me. Up to date, everyone around me has been making the choices for me, as if they knew better than me, what I wanted to get out of life. Not any more.

So after several meetings, hard thinking and swimming against the current, I made a decision. I thought there were wiser ways of spending my time that are much more fulfilling in my opinion than going to college and doing the same as everybody else, so I said yes.

I think that spending time doing something you don't enjoy is pointless. So I'm giving myself a shot. For once in my life, I'm going to believe in myself and finally trust my gut. There's something telling me there's a big world waiting out there, and no matter how much I read about it, or how much they teach me about it, I have to go out there and experience it for myself.

From this week, number 11 (March 14th - March 20th) until week 31st (August 1st - August 7th) I have 21 weeks to change my life around.

I owe myself these 21 weeks. 21 weeks to change, live life, and why not, make money. I have several things I want to do and projects I want to develop, but none of them are coming true unless I want them to.

We're in a time that action is necessary in order to get what we want. Things won't come to us unless we want them to. Things are not going to come to us unless we get off our comfort zone and take action.

We're in a time were the only thing that's constant is change. But, change won't come easy, we have to make decisions and choose right.

We have to let go of everything we believe in and just trust that we're making the right choice, the right move. There's no other way to be happy.

I have a lot of expectations for this life, and I hope I can live up to them. So in these 21 weeks, I hope to develop myself as an individual and make changes in order to get what I want. I'm going to launch my first product (the 19 and Rich Program 2011), I'm creating new websites, jumping into WSO's with both feet, entering and discovering new niches, and going to the gym.

Worst case scenario: I'm back in college late this year, but I least I took the time, looked forward and decided to make a change in my life. Most people never take the time to think about what they want. I encourage you guys to do the same

Finally, I want to share my progress with you. If you guys want to. I'll keep you posted every week and tell you how's it going. What do you think? I can't wait to hear your comments.

Remember: Aim for happiness as if your life depends on it, because it does.

        A really nice idea
        I also had some time off my university and I've never regretted it.

        Do you have any specific goals for the end of the 21 weeks? Or will you try to achieve as much as you can?

          I'm going to take it one week at a time. Setting specific guidance goals for each week, in order to give my actions direction.

          I have some general goals, such as taking off in the product launching (in terms of money making), starting some blogs to help people and things like that.

          I also want to keep a log of my progress, and a log on this forum seems like a pretty good idea. I think it will encourage others to do the same.

          In a nutshell, i'm doing my best to become the perfect version of myself, in order for me to look back in a few years and have no regrets.

    Awesome, Max! Just one little idea:

    You might want to specify and share your exact goals here to get even more leverage. Besides, I'm very interested in what you want to achieve in a more concrete manner:

    some blogs -> how many?
    help people -> which people? how do you want to help them?

    looking foward to hearing from you

    I definitely want to follow your journey ..maybe you should create a blog and post updates?

    A word of advice from someone who was 19 a looooooooooooooooooong time ago

    Stay true to yourself
    Be who and what you are always
    Stay, and be honest in all your dealings
    Never compromise or "sell" your integrity
    Be patient
    Care about your fellow human and animals
    Never become to busy to help another in need
    Always give back whenever you can
    Respect yourself and others

    Follow these basic guidelines and regardless of whether you become a mga millionaire or not, you'll become a person people like, respect, and honored to call friend

    You are so wise for someone your age - much wiser than I was back in the day. I would love to see how the next 21 weeks work out for you. Your words are quite a pep talk for me even at my "elder" age. There is still time for me to achieve what I want. Even your quote is appropriate and just what I needed to hear tonight!!!

    Hi Max.

    If I can, I'll "support" you every step you take.

    Remember, there's no such thing as failure. Either you accomplish something, or you learn something that will help you next time. Either way, you win.

    Haha I actually chuckled at this because it sounds JUST like me! I too was a business major and after 29 or so credit hours I dropped out to pursue better things in life. At the beginning of this year I made an outrageous commitment to myself... literally it is kind of BIG (I will tell you in PM, don't wanna publicize otherwise no one would take me seriously), and because of that commitment I feel like I am in a EXPRESS lane right now.

    I mean honestly, part of achieving that goal requires an objective that a lot of people would scoff at, but I am well on my way to making it happen and I'm documenting the entire journey for a case study product with complete instruction.

    What I'm doing now is a 0k to 5k/mo business in 4 weeks. Yep, and I know exactly how to do it and am on track to getting it done. I really applaud your focus and your desire to make your life better and wish you blessings for whatever you do.

    I myself am working on a couple BIG TIME projects (reason why I need 5k/mo in such a short time is so I can begin my next phase of the plan to hit my overall achievement. That's just a milestone kinda thing) and that's why I felt obligated to comment this thread. I see you are a focused individual, maybe we can get acquainted and help one another get things done. Get BIG things done.
