liquidglass Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well well guys it's been a while since I've posted (have lurked some) but I might as well post here! The reason I've been increasingly absent for the last few years is due to working on my dreams. I eat, breath, and sleep them, because that's the only way I can achieve them. Sure there are headaches along the way, but if it was easy everyone would do it and the rewards wouldn't be worth it. Allow me to preface. I think dreams are great and goals are something everyone should have, because you can't get from A to B when you don't know what B is. I think you should be careful with the people you share them with. There will always be jealous people that will attempt to drag you down. Most will say "that's wonderful, good for you!" when you share your goal, but as you come closer to achieving it if that person hasn't achieved anything they will begin to criticize you and demean your goals, so just be careful. The best advice I can give is: Don't take advice from anyone you're not willing to switch places with. Make a clearly defined goal and work your ass off towards it. If it's not one path it's another. eg: I love it when people give me goal, business, or other advice when they themselves have been going in circles for 15-40 years. While I think valuable input can come from any direction, actionable advice normally does not. My Goals: I've been running a business for the last few years in the financial sector, after working my ass off and growing it from just two of us my goal for 2013 is to bring on 600 new people in different aspects of the business and expoentially increase the profitability of the business. I want to read 70 books on business and self improvement this year, I've got a lot of catching up to do with my mentor. As far as my financial goals I'd rather not list them because it can come off as cocky or impossible to some people so I don't want to hinder anyone elses dreams by posting mine as a bar to reach. I also have had a few inventions itching at my brain for the last few years, so as the business becomes self sustainable I am planning on patenting and licensing one of them to major retailers. (When that happens I'll give 20 people on here a free one!). Oh and I want to finish the first draft of my book. - and in case anyone is wondering, no I was not born into an adventageous situation, I was not given anything I didn't work for, I've had to sacrifice relationships on my journey, and being broke happens when you're going for something BIG (so suck it up if the goal is worth it.) To everyone else working on their goals no matter how small they may seem, it's all stepping stones. I encourage you to push on even when the going gets tough, it gets tough to stop everyone from reaching it, you just have to be willing to go through the valley to reach the mountain, then you have to make the climb to the summit. The view is great up top, so go for it. If anyone has any questions about their own venture I'll be happy to pass along things I've learned or at least point you in the right direction as best I can. I don't know everything, so don't think I'm implying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â€On Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 To figure out what the hell I want to do for a living. I literally just want to find a job that I'm going to be okay with working at until retirement. And I don't even have the slightest clue what it is. I'm quitting the job I'm at (I've been on my way out the door for months and months now, but it is a small field, so there isn't lots of people with expertise out there to replace me), and for the first time In my life I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'll be okay for money for a while, and I always have my Journeyman Interprovincial Plumbers ticket to fall back on, so I can play around with working wherever, trying to find something that fits, but I just feel like things would be much easier if I just knew. I feel like I'm 17 all over again, wondering "what am I going to do when I grow up?". Lots of people think I'm crazy for leaving the job I'm at, a high paying desk job that I'm talented at, but it seems with every passing week and every passing day, I loathe coming in to work even more. Sure, it gives me the opportunity to pursue things many wouldn't be able to, but I feel like I'm killing all the drive and creativity I have by staying here.

You just gotta find what makes you happy. I hope you find it soon, dude. I'm sure you will. :) Also, I need to move to Canada... Job prospects here suck.

CO_hookah Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I just want to open a kosher bbq joint. I want beef ribs, dammit! Ooh! Can I join this endeavor???? I know a shochet, so we just need to provide the cows Oh, and Chreees, is it safe to say you also want to move to Canada because the U.S. is way too socialist for your liking and Canada is the logical place to move to? ;) Edited February 22, 2013 by CO_hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Maybe I'm just not seeing your sarcasm in that post, but how the hell is the U.S socialist? And how can you say that Canada is LESS socialist than the U.S? Canada is far from being socialist, but it's still a lot closer to it than the states are (with concerns to social programs such as healthcare, pensions, etc). People throw around words like socialism and communism and, really, they don't apply at all. They certainly don't apply in countries that are based in capitalism and a free-market economy. That's part of why I have never understood the whole 1% movement against rich people; the U.S is, and has always been, a capitalist economy that has never been geared towards diversity (cultural melting pot vs. canada's "cultural potpourri") or helping out the poor. People complain about socialism and socialist movements, and then turn around and say "why can't somebody help us out?!". It's ridiculous, and just shows how backwards and misinformed all these notions are. But yes, Canada is awesome, and Chris you should move here because, despite it being cold for half the year, it's still awesome. One of the reviews for this movie called it "a love letter to Canada", you should check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7wN4ogONxE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you. i just quit a good desk job because I had the same feelings you did towards the job. I still worked at a restaurant serving and bartending and I'm happy doing that for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 People don't know what socialism and communism actually MEAN. I took a sociology class so I know a little bit about it, but half the time it isn't even worth explaining to folks. Especially certain folks. They just will not understand, mostly because they refuse to. I dare say that Canada and many other countries are progressing forward and the United States is being left in the dust.
