Big Whale – Big Challenge – Big Dream – Big Mission

Big Whale

Just realized that a big whale is now joining me in the big ocean. Well. I should say that the big corporation just join the race with a much bigger wagon with 160 more horses. I guess I am on the right track at the right moment. I think I pick the right niche, market to work with.

Now the challenge is much bigger now. I am not just racing against those bloody sharks in the ocean. I am fighting against the biggest whale in the ocean. Can I survive in the big ocean? That’s is not the question I have for myself. My question is this.

Not a while ago on my 40th birthday, I set my big goal to achieve really big dream in one year. It’s a big challenge that many people think I am crazy and stupid. They thought that I am going to make the same mistake like many other “get rich quick” losers. I never say it’s going to be easy. I am not siting on my butt and explain why I won’t be one of them. I have a plan. I take action!

I have been working very hard on it, making great progress and pretty much put my blogs behind. I felt sorry for those who come by and trying to find some new stuff. I still reading my favorites blogs everyday and getting motivation from those great blogs about life, business and entrepreneurship. I have learned so much from those blogs.

I recently read one articles about business with an intriguing title. I left comments on the blog about my personal experience. I did not mean to hurt anyone’s feeling with my comment. Obviously, everyone read my comment differently. I was flamed by the writer accusing me for insulting her, who I respect for a long long time. I felt very sorry about hurting her feelings. I did not mean to become a BS axx hole.

My last weekend confession was almost two months ago. It was about where I was and where I will be going. Things have changed a little bit here. What has not changed is the same goal to set myself free from the day to day job and become a life style entrepreneur.

I set my goals two years ago to run my own online e-commerce business to support my life style. I have to admit that it is running OK, but it is not generating the expected income. It did pay off all the expenses that I throw into the business operation except my own time. It’s not generating the revenue that I expect two years ago. There are many reasons that I did not reach my milestones.

While enjoying my labor day long weekend at resort in Tucson, AZ, I saw the Untold Wealth Serial TV show on CNBC. I felt that I am one of them – the middle class millionaire. The poor people in the millionaire club.

Enough is never enough!

If you have not seen the untold wealth videos, you should take a look at them. It’s very interesting and very motivational to me. According to the report, there are more than 9 million millionaires in the USA. 49,000 U.S. households have a net worth between $50 million and $500 million. However, many of them don’t feel rich at all.
