My name is Jerry Mathurin. I have created this website to document my steps to becoming a millionaire before actually achieving my goal.
Majority of people write books after they have 'Made It' but my objective is quite different. I am currently writing my journey to help those who decide to take a similar path in becoming a historic figure in life.
I invite anyone and everyone to join me in my efforts. My hope is that words will give you incouragement in your daily journey towards your success.

I'm tired from working sixteen hours a day. I am okay with it because I am learning how an empire is built from the beginning. It is a process that is exceedingly detailed. I made a deal with the Millionaire that I work for him if he paid me. I have not been getting paid so far because he said that I'm still in training. This is not good for me because I have no other means of income right now. I guess, as long as I am gaining more knowledge my situation is not too bad.
I'm going back to school now, not because I have lost hope or anything; but primarily to allow myself to become a master of my field of interest. You must become a master of whatever it is you are doing so you won't be taken advantage of. I must educate myself in everything I need to know in order to achieve great works.

My eyes have been opened. It took me a while, but I think I'm starting to understand. All this time I have been searching to find some way of becoming a millionaire, but that is not where my focus should have been. Back in Tallahassee, I was trying to find many ways to make a little money. It's been a real long journey for me, but I've finally figured out what I will concentrate on: computer programming. It took some guidance, but the question is what I am going to do with the information that I just received.
Money is not real. The only reason it's real is because we put a value on it. From the beginning when I told myself that I needed to make a certain amount of money, meant I was headed in the wrong direction. It is not the intent of making a certain amount that matters, rather it's the point of serving people that does. If an individual designs a plan that will help serve people, then people will pay for that service. If you do something you love and you create a concept to help others, the money will eventually come. This is a very important lesson that I have learned and it is one of the major keys in becoming prosperous. It is critical that you review what I have just written here.
Another thing that I've learned is if you are trying to get to the next level, you need to write things down, or you will fail no matter what. How can you trace in the dark if you do not have a flashlight to guide you? This is the same concept I must use in business in order to reach a certain level or amount. You must write every bit of information in a clear and tangible way in order to guide you in each step you take. You must have short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals written down, that you must follow through with each day.
When most people see a millionaire, what they usually say to themselves is that he or she must be very smart to have accomplished so much. On the contrary, the reason for their accomplishment is not based on how smart he or she was, but on how they disciplined themselves. The way millionaires achieved their goals was by having a plan and following through with it. Discipline is what I must have if I am planning on accomplishing my aspirations.

I've learned so much since last Wednesday. I spoke with my two partners last night and we agreed to go our separate ways for business and personal reasons. I've finally realized what it is that I must do. I have learned that the true reason of going to school is not to get good grades and get a job, but to create a concept of how to make money while educating yourself. The reason why I took so long to figure out how to run the business was because my partners and I were never able to control the management part of the company. I sort of knew in the back of my mind that this needed to be done. My new mentor, the Millionaire, told me if I could not control what I was doing, then I should not do it. I have also learned to observe every little detail in business: listen closely, watch my surroundings, and watch what I say when talking to people. While speaking, never say more than you have to. This information is vital for business but only those who search for this knowledge can find it.
