And so it starts...

... the year in which I take back what always belonged to me...
But I digress.
Creative writing, while being something I thoroughly enjoy on a personal level, is definitely not what I want to use this blog for. I want to use it to track my own progress in setting up shop as an internet based business, or any other possible permutation that can come out from the original project of setting up an internet business.
I always wanted to set up my own business ( and a couple of times I did) but I have long since realized that my motivation was wrong. Every time I have entered a business venture with the sole purpose of making money I have failed. Thankfully I have learnt a few lessons on what not to do on my next venture but most importantly, I now have the right motivation.
I have taken first steps to be ready for what´s to come. 3 years worth of Baby account at hostgator with a 75% discount ( bought on black friday), three domains that go for three different things, the new computer which is on its way now together with the necessary accesories.

I am trying to sort out the ideal situation in which to get the money I am entitled to by the government for this venture, which is causing me a bit of a headache because my current circumstances mean that I cannot plan in advance until things that are out of my control start happening ( a piece of paperwork that has a serious delay, which I need in order to be classified as a specific business type that has access to more grants and tax breaks), the time in which my current employment contract finishes ( as it´s a substitution contract and I know nothing of the other guy´s date of return) and the location from which I will start work ( I don´t own a place and I have a couple of family alternatives plus the option to live on my own, more expensive but possibly worth it in terms of time commitment), so it looks like I start the year making decisions. No rest. Ever. Who needs it anyway...

Just don't stress. Take things slow and easy. Plan each day. Make wise decissions. Then... you will beat the system.
Set some goals for each day. "I am going to get this Gov. paper work done today. Not tomorrow. Make the calls... break some balls... and get "R" Done.
