Every other day will be fine..........

It seems like I get sidetracked and never make it back on the day I have specified for my next post. So...from now on....it will be whenever I can make it!
I started this morning as I will from this point on...with my daily declarations. These declarations are to be repeated each morning upon awakening and each evening just before bed as well. What are they? Glad you asked! Daily declarations are structured statements which are to guide you from "failure consciousness" into the realm of "success consciousness".
Sometime after the Depression, Napoleon Hill wrote a book entitled "Think and Grow Rich". He expounded on Andrew Carnegie's recipe for wealth and in doing so outlined what I have titled my daily declarations. In 1973, a former used car salesman, Joe Karbo, wrote a book entitled "The Lazy Man's Way to Riches". I had read Joe's book, long before becoming aware of Napoleon Hill and was shocked to discover that the structure behind each was identical. Joe did become rich!
After my daily declarations, I spent a few hours studying the ways of the Internet. March is to be "attack month". It is my intention to begin to put the knowledge I have been storing into effect. During that time, I will reveal my mentor and give all who want an opportunity to share in the "hold grail of Internet knowledge".
Until next time.................

It's Monday...one week later

I guess I got busy and haven't made it back here to catch up on retiring. I did have some fun last week and need to share that before outlining the preparations I've made today toward leaving the corporate world behind.
Last Thursday and Friday, NASCAR did some testing at our local track (California Speedway). We have season NASCAR tickets and were gifted a parking pass and seating on top of the suites since we have already purchased for the year. Due to work schedules of a couple of the others attending, we were only able to go on Friday. We were very upclose and personal, seeing the drivers and their cars from only a few feet away. I took about 80 pictures and enjoyed the morning session. We then retired to the (infield) parking lot for a tailgate lunch.
Some of the teams had called it quits for the day and were on their way back to their respective locations back east. I wasn't paying much attention to the smaller cars that were leaving, choosing to check out only the haulers when they passed.
I should mention here that I am a big Carl Edwards (99) fan and was wearing not one, but two of his fan shirts. The outer one was very colorful but the inner had long sleeves and it was chilly. Well, I'm sitting in my big folding chair with a tray table next to me with my sandwich and chips on the left and a cocktail in the other hand. All of a sudden, my attention was drawn to a SUV driving past by the driver waving at me. I looked up and much to my enjoyment, I was face to face with Carl himself. His team had ended their testing and I guess he was driving himself to the airport. Apparently, he saw his shirt and made my day by waving.
I did do a little preparation last week but not like today. I spent all morning and a good part of the afternoon preparing for my first earning website. I have been analyzing keywords and possible domain names for the site. I will start with my mental preparations tomorrow morning and will share some of that tomorrow. I will also identify some of the techniques for narrowing keywords down to the ones that have merit toward the subject of the site.
See you tomorrow.
