Chapter 21 First Steps

Chapter 21 First Steps

First I am going to recount everything that happened in the last few days. I started writing on Friday. I started keeping a journal on Sunday.

Monday 10/23

“The next three days are going to be completely devoted to finishing this book. And by writing everything down now, I am reviewing everything over and over again in great detail. I am serious about this. Nothing else is as important as this work. The next 9 months I am going to work harder then I have ever worked before. I need to do this, one-step at a time. By Friday 10/27, I want to have already looked at houses. I need to learn so much in a very short time.”

Tuesday 10/24

“I went and looked at some houses today. The first one I looked at was $169,900 and 3,200 sft. 2 units, 1 bedroom I bath, living and kitchen $650/m. 2^nd 4 bedroom, I bath, living and kitchen $1,500/m.

This is what they told me when I called. I already knew what they were talking about because I have been doing so much research lately on the subject. I did find out a lot from only a few phone conversations.”

Wednesday and Thursday, 10/25-10/26

Goal now is to finish this book.

Think about it 1.01 needs to be ready for printing ASAP.

Daily notes include full list of revisions.

Time, space, and money. Every thing in the universe can be thought about in terms of time and space. With humans added to the context, you must add money to the equation.

Future: the present leads to the future. Therefore, what you are thinking about now will come to you in the future. So how far into the future do you want to think? Right now, I am focused on:

Now leading into the immediate future.

The immediate future leading to the next 20 years. Revise in 20 years.

I am thinking about objects in the future. Only time will tell if they will ever be in my present.

This book has been produced by the ideas of the future. By focusing on these ideas and objects, I intend to see it happen that way.

Section Three of this book is going to be everything I learn along the way on my journey. I do not know how to do a lot of this stuff now, but with the passage of time, continued thinking and wanting and doing, I will receive it. I will learn very much. The following editions of this book will be everything I learn from now.

Journal of events. I need to record everything that happens from now on.

10/27/06 I talked to many people today. I was overflowing with energy. This is really working, thinking about positive energy all day has brought me much success today. I went to my senior seminar class (race and work) today and psychology of human sexuality (Lesbian gay Trans bi quest lecture). Anyways I had a long a long conversation today with Sam. We talked about writing and the power of thought. I printed out Think about it version 1.02 today. I am very excited about it. I also went and met with a realtor today, Joann. She showed me a house and I told her what I was planning to do. I dressed nice (sports jacket) and I was very confident in everything I said. I knew just what I wanted, and I most definitely got what I wanted. She told me, after hearing my story that she most defiantly wants to help me. She took my email and said we have to stay in touch, she said that I could call her for any house I want to look at. She had a print out of all the full details of the house, and her business card. I think that it is starting to happen. My business is starting to happen. All because it is all I think about all day. This is what I want to do. Miss Joann has now been added to my network. Today was a good day. My goal right now is to revise the book a little more to get it more ready for the final printing of the first Edition. Due date: Must be in the mail Monday morning.

Who to mail it too? Mom and Paul, must get it asap because I am going home on Nov. 3^rd. Richter wants the first edition sent by email. John’s should be sent soon, I want to send one to Will, because I have not sent anything in a while to him. My dad can wait for the second edition. I have to go now, because it is Friday night and I have worked on this all week. I have a couple of parties to go to and a girlfriend to see. I will continue this after work tomorrow morning. I am still going to work at Primerica. Saturday at 7 am. Compliance training.

I have just thought of a few more ideas. First, I like working for my self so far. Meeting with Joann today, really contrasts to what it is like to work for a wage. Also, furniture idea. Everyone has computer theses days. Build computer desk for all apartments, and provide wireless internet.

I also just realized what it is to be progressive. Starting a business now is not like it was 40 years ago. Times have changed and businesses have to change too. People’s needs have changed and I plan on anticipating theses new needs. This is what my business is going to specialize in. Rooms that you do not have to worry about anything. And in the future people are going to be even more busy then they are today (if that’s possible). You know what it is like to never have free time. Couldn’t we all use full room services, I mean who has time to do laundry. And if one or two people do it full time, they can do that work that everyone wants economically. This is what it is to be progressive.
