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.

Hello friend, it has been a while since I last wrote in this journal. For those of you who have been reading these words and keeping up with me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I apologize for the delay, for it has been over a year since my last journal entry! I tend to forget that these words are not for my benefit but yours. For some of you, my journal will go far beyond the pixels on your screen or the ink blocks on your page. These words will dive into the depths of your souls, and will change your current life until your mind permits. All in all, I apologize once more, and hope that you will forgive me.
Now, to give you every detail of the past year in the next few minutes would be improbable for me. First of all, I don't remember everything, Secondly, I honestly would not choose spend all my time in doing so. It’s not that I do not care, it because I have other priorities. I'll just give you a quick update on what has been going on. The past year has really been a year of completion for me. I guess the biggest accomplishment for me was graduating with my AS degree in Computer Science. Remember... "the millionaire" told me that to be successful you must me a master of your field. I am currently enrolled at Florida Atlantic University finishing up my Bachelors in Computer Programming. Most of my time last year was spent studying and working; nothing really exciting. I guess it probably was a good thing that I didn’t write anything, because you’d probably be bored reading, and believe me that is not my intention.
This year was I’ve been blessed to have found a company to do my internship with. Thanks to my academic advisor, I was able to find them. Some people are placed in your life to help you, and it is up to you to realize who they are and how they can help you reach your goals. Campus Management is a medium-sized software company that provides products for secondary education. They are currently the second largest software company in Boca Raton. They are also conveniently located near FAU campus. I work in the Integrations Department, and report Dan Mongeluzi who is the Integration Services Manager. He has experience in the Computer Science field, and from my observation, is a great leader. The question you might ask is “Who cares?!” Now what are the chances of me finding a well developed company, working with people in my field, and getting paid while doing it? Remember, my goal is to create a great software company that will make an imprint in the world. This blessing (or internship) is helping me come one step closer to my destiny. The point is anything that will help obtain your purpose you should go after. Just to let you know this semester I decided to purchase a bike, ride the bus, and take the train to travel back and forth from Lake Worth to Boca. I’m trying to save some money to buy a new car for my family. This year I plan on creating several sources of income from different locations. I will keep you updated on how I plan to do so. But for know I must go...

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.
