Maybe, but that depends on how I go about it all. I have a lot of things on my plate no doubt. Last time I posted an update it was trading stocks, a business plan, and internet ideas. There is more to it now. I really don’t stop… ever. Even when I die, I want the things I set up in life to keep on churning.
So lets recap: Day 1 – 4/25 – I pointedly did nothing at all that day. Nothing at all. I went out to lunch, went out to dinner, but apart from that I just relaxed. It was my birthday. It was the first day before a whole slew of obligations for the following 364 days; don’t want to burn myself out too quickly. Right?
Wish I could say I have done a lot since then, but that would be a lie.
However, my plate: stocks, business plan, internet information product, charity help, actual small time business? That last one is a maybe, the other four are reality. Damn, where did my life go. Its okay, I think all I really need for this next year is food, girls and the daily grind. Really though, how can I do all those things, and actually well… do them properly. I am not talking about lit 300 paper finished the night before type of done, I am talking about make me money and function in a real world sort of way done. Thats a bit harder. Its something not a lot of people know about, deffinately not while they are in school.
I think I need a schedule. I also need to prioritize. Luckily, I have already done both. To make a million dollars in one year you have to really really kick ass at one thing and get lucky, really kick ass at two things and get lucky, or just get really really damn lucky. I’d like to increase my chances by taking all three. Here is what I mean:
I have to focus upon one thing as my primary means of making this happen, but have other things going for on the side. My main focus – that has to happen in a big way for me to have any chance at this. At the same time, having a second stream of income kick in after a little while would be a huge relief and ease a bit of the expectation of the primary goal. Given that, I will be focusing on trading stocks 5 days a week. In the mornings. West coast time 6:30 am to 1:00 pm. This leaves me the afternoons to work upon my other projects. Which project though? I have a whole slew of them. I know that tomorrow I will be writing my first section to my business plan, remember? Thursdays too. I don’t plan on taking my entire afternoon to do this, but I will do what I have to do to get it done. Still working on that website for that non-profit but I am currently waiting on more information to get it really done proper so I don’t have to worry about that quite yet. Internet information product, since I yet to find anything else I can provide other than my stock trading knowledge, I will be eventually provide some sort of product in regards to trading stocks. Not likely to be some ’secret way to make lots of money’ as much as a step by step way to get yourself trading stocks. Why this? I will be showing people how I trade on a regular basis already through my other blog. I will be sharing my knowledge already which doesn’t leave me with a lot to sell, ya know? I have a couple other ideas with what to sell for this once things get going, but until then, I won’t worry about it a whole lot. I have to get the traffic flowing there first. I blog for this mostly during the trading day when my mind is already focused on stocks. Spend a little time in the afternoons when good thoughts come up. The research for how to make it hopefully profitable I do outside of trading hours as well. I feel like that was a huge ramble, but thats it for now. Interesting maybe? Probably not, but thats where I stand for now. Later.

I like the way you’ve divided up your day, but if there’s anything I could recommend -
Do the hard work, the creative work, in the morning. Get it out of the way early in the day, like Leo Babauta would say. Then your afternoons can be for the grind of trading stocks, because no one should have to do real work in the afternoons.

Then I should move over to Europe where the trading day is in the afternoon.
