Welcome to my little home on the web.

In 2026, I plan to stop playing and establish a real online business while working a full-time job! I work retail, so my schedule will vary. Depending upon what traffic wants to do, I am an average 45-60 minutes away from work. When I close, the average is 30-35 minutes.

Where I live, they are still building, and the infrastructure is trying to catch up, but that will still be a few years down the road to get finalized, if ever. And if I stay in this area, I want to be working from home before traffic gets worse. Right now, it can take an extra 15-20 minutes to get to the freeway. School breaks are the only relief.

Some days I miss being 10-15 minutes away from work!

On work days, I plan to work 2-3 hours in my business. When I’m off, if nothing else is planned, I want to do 4-6 hours and eventually get up to 8-10 plus.

I have been trying on and off (mostly off) to create a business. In my early 20s, my main goal was to earn additional income, and as I got older, it became replacing it and working for myself.

Like many of you, I had S.O.S. and became more of a collector and less of a doer, but that changes! So many never-started Projects and half-started Projects. Looking at my purchase history, there were days when I purchased a course and then immediately purchased another!

FOMO was ruling me way too often, and that has to stop.

I am 6 years away from early retirement, but I want to retire from the 9-5 before then! I do not want to continue to work when I should be retired and wait until full retirement, especially since I’d receive more today if I were disabled than I would when I can retire early. I would have to wait until 70 to reach around that same income level..

So this journey will be to reach financial independence. First, I want to pay off all debt and then purchase my first home.

I recently had to purchase a car that I’m not 100% in love with, but it’s doing the job I need it to do for now. I want to trade it in within the next 6 months. I know it’s not financially sound, but I want to have a car that I like better.

I’m currently living with a friend, but by the end of the year, I want to be in my own home. And be able to quit my job by year’s end as well.

There will be a mixture of case studies and updates on other projects that I am working on.

My first goal is to net a minimum of an extra $1,500 a month. This will allow me to ensure some circulations are covered and have some additional walking-around money.

I am also working on getting back to my ideal weight, so I will be posting about that as well.

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me!
