Mind the Beginner

A bit of a chaotic post today. You might recall me writing about Project Mojave in my post on Monday and my writing about it stating that I hope it really does work while at the same time trying to kick everyone who believed in such things and keeps reading without acting upon it. After that ass-kicking blogpost on Monday and the long post on hormones last Wednesday I though I’d go in a different direction today.

I want the globe to be my playground

Project Mojave  opened up to new subscribers last Tuesday 4.30pm PST. At which time it was 1:30 am where my bed and computer are located at the moment so I was sound asleep seeing as I had to get up at 5 am the following day.

Now this is where Carl (Slacker Reform) comes into the picture. This guy really is amazing as I’ve said before. He gave me a heads-up on the project back in April and I’ve been hearing about his adventures on the project for the last month. He got so excited about it all that he really wanted to have me on the project too.

So how do you do that? Remember I was asleep at the time the project went live. I could of course sign in on at a later time but perhaps I would miss out on all the nice bonus material. I could also just wait for the next run of the program but who knows when that one would be. I went to sleep with some thoughts about that and thinking about an offer Carl made me…

In the mean time

…He signed me up and made all the arrangements! There was a mail in my mailbox the next morning with my login details stating that everything was payed for. Although this was the offer Carl made me while we were talking over twitter I never imagined him doing this for real. I’ve known Carl now for little over a month and we have only talked using twitter and through blog comments, and now this. I knew we were roughly on the same wavelength now and then but this is absolutely crazy. I guess he really wants me on the project and I’m very happy to be on it!

Sorry for the rant-like blogpost but it’s hard to write properly when you’re this excited. So for the next three months I’ll be simultaneously doing three things aside from my every day life:

• Run this blog like I have these past months and reach my goal of 500 views a day, followed by transferring this blog to it’s own domain
• Working with Project Mojave to create a freedom business, perhaps I can combine this blog and the project here and there. You’ll notice soon enough
• Preparing for university which starts this September but for which I still have to do a math test or more accurately a test in proposition and predicate logic.They want to see if I can wrap my head around that kind of thinking

So what is the future holding for me?

• A successful blog, where I can vent my creativity and generate a small side income
• An income through online entrepreneurship aka running a freedom business which will make me location independent
• A degree in information science which if the first two things don’t work out will be my “backup” to a normal job, with more than enough possibilities there to either earn enough to be financially independent or become an entrepreneur using what I’ve learned at uni. I’ll be learning some major computing skills there and whichever way my life goes this will come in handy

All things considering one of my biggest life goals is Financial Independence to do all the things I’ve been dreaming of. To summarize: I want the globe to be my playground as a zen inspired vagabond/digital nomad and I will achieve that, one way or the other.
