Wealth. What does it mean

In the next 731 days I'm going to try and accumulate a substantial amount of wealth. How am I going to do it. Simple. Yeah right. I'm going to blog about my success. That is the first step. Every day posting something new about the steps I'm taking to making myself wealthy. Books I'm reading and the progress I'm making. First step, get out of debt. No clue how to do this. I've gotten myself into it. Some 30k in debt. College loans, credit card debt and business debt. Now I have to pay that off and still make 1,000,000.00 dollars.

How am I ever going to do this. I have no idea. First step I'm going to read http://ping.fm/vgKKH "That's, Think and Grow Rich"

I figure if I'm going to grow rich I had better start thinking rich. Or in this case wealthy... But anyways, my goal is figure out a way to create a massive amount of wealth by harvesting what I already know to achieve it.

What I currently have to help me reach my goal

1. Supportive family (no money) but supportive
2. Education. (B.S. University of Utah, Psychology major, Esthetician license state of Utah, soon Wyoming, Professional Auctioneer certificate)
3. Great computer skills
4. A nice place to live
5. A car that runs
6. Access to interview people who have already made millions. Well not a lot, but a few.
7. Great books, Like, The Art of the Deal, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
8. A great idea 731 days to financial Freedom, or so we will call it many things.
9. Ping.fm to share all my thoughts will all my social network accounts.

So now that I've kind of explained what I'm going to do. Here is how I'm going to transform my life. Every day I'm going to read in a Wealth building book, report back to you, what I've read. Then if you find it interesting you can comment and I will try to reply.

Why I'm doing this. Well lets face it, I'm not the only person out there looking to live the American dream. Get out of debt, have a nice home, live comfortably, have lots of friends and take vacations once in a while with a loving wife and family.

Yes I know it's a lot to achieve in a such a short period of time. But I think anything is possible if we set our minds to it. For now I'm going to blog about my progress and what I'm doing throughout my day. You can track me to see my progress.

I will be updating financial information to show you my progress. How I'm making money, where it's coming from and how close I'm getting to my goal of 1,000,000 dollars in 731 days.

Impossible, I hope not.

Also bare with me on the reading of this blog. I'm sure as time goes on my writing will improve.

Thank you for reading this far if you have. I'm sure I will have more to say as time goes on. For now this is all new to me. I just hope that through my trials and error there is a means to an outcome for this social experiment.

For now. Thanks for reading Brandon Barclays 731 day experiment to becoming financially independent.
