I sent out a press release last night titled "Student entrepreneur launches A Millionaire's Journal to Rescue Mother from Poverty." My best friend helped me with the title, so I give all the credit to her. If you ever find someone that will stick with you through tough situations, know that you are blessed. The message brought hundreds of people from all around the world to my site. Still no sales yet. I'm guessing that they're taking their time to create their logo image. They'll purchase it tomorrow; I have faith they will.

Tomorrow I'm making plans to use the viral marketing aspect of sending the message about this site. I'm planning on telling people about what I am doing trying to accomplish, and have them tell everyone they know, and so on. It's going to take a large portion of my day, but I feel that it will help bring notice to A Millionaire’s Journal.

If everything does not go as planned, I will have to start knocking on doors again to try to bring in more funds to the business. Everyone's journey is different. This is the route that I must take to obtain my success. I must hustle... my mother's well-being depends on it.

The past two weeks have been extremely hectic! This past Sunday the interview with the South Florida Business Report aired on CBS. I received a lot of new visitors in response to the show. This proved that media coverage does send people to the site. A business owner emailed me after the show and asked me if I could do his website for him. I told him that my main focus was to first finish this project. If you're currently working on a business or venture, remember to always stay focused. If you don't, things that are not in your original plan will veer you off in a different direction of where you wanted to go.

Later on that afternoon I was invited to a Haitian Caribbean event. The event was televised live, and to my surprise the director told me to speak about my project!  I must admit, I was pretty nervous because most of the question that I was asked, I never thought about before. One must always be ready when an opportunity comes, no matter what. That interview also brought new visitors to the site, which was awesome!

I had my first live interview yesterday with ABC News. It went pretty well. I put several YouTube videos to show you how it went. This actually gave me an idea. To gain more popularity to the site, I'm going to have videos embedded all over A Millionaire's Journal. This will surely bring more excitement to my site. Once people see in real life, what I’m currently going through in real life... they'll be back for more.

This whole website business idea will not just happen out of no where. Everything must be well planned. This truly is a millionaire's journal, and once people see my accomplishment, they'll look back at this journal and say "wow, that kid was actually serious."

I have two major (events) happening this upcoming weekend. My interview with David Weir will be airing on Sunday at 8:30AM. This should give me a little buzz from the local community. I'm not sure if I will make too many sales after this show, but we'll see what will happen.

Following that I plan on sending a third press release. The plan is to keep the momentum going, bringing people from all around the world to the site (all at the same time). The second release that was sent brought me one response from a blogger. Oh yeah did I forget to mention that I haven't paid the grand that I owe yet?! It’s a chance that I took, but I’m glad I tried it anyways. It's a horrible thing to live life thinking "what if." For this third release, I created a title that should catch the eye of many readers.

Hmmm. What can I say? Where do I start off? First of all, mentally I've managed to look at situations from a different point of view. Things that don't go as planned, don't stress me out anymore. When you have been through so much already, the little things seem... too small to even worry about anymore.

I've been up to so much within the past 2 1/2 weeks. Due to some server problems all of the updates I made for my site (including my blogs) for April were erased. I had to switch to a different hosting company and ask for my refund back, due to the fact it was their fault. Whenever you have situations which you can’t control, it is best not to worry too much it. Just make the necessary corrections and move on.

I have some great news! My PR Agency informed me yesterday that they’ve set up two potential interviews for the next coming weeks. Next Wednesday I should have an interview with David Weir of the South Florida Business Report show, and reporter from the New York Times wanted to include me in a section of her working story. I was ecstatic when I heard the news! I can’t wait to pour my heart out to the people who will watch and read the two interviews. My excitement will drive new potential customers to the site, which will in result bring more visitors to read this book.

For the past two weeks I’ve been working on a few deals. I want you to know I haven’t been lazy or given up. These journal entries may seem like I’m down sometimes, but I want you to know that I will NEVER quit. I choose to let you know how I honestly feel about this venture, because I believe that you will go through the same thing; that is, if you decide to take a journey to becoming successful yourself. Everyone who has obtained some level of success has gone through this. What separates successful people and everyone else is that the successful individual decided to not give up for one extra day.

I came up with some new ideas for the site. I’m going to add Google AdSense to my pages to allow a continuous revenue stream to the company. I figured that it would be perfect because…it fits perfectly into this project. The longer you stick with your idea, the more you can perfect it. It is inevitable. I’ve also made the decision to redesign the layout of the site to look more professional. It looks good now, but I guess I’m a perfectionist.

Remember I won’t quit, so you don’t quit!

One winter, two men decided to go fishing on a pond that had been frozen. One man said to the other, "it’s safe to go to the center of the pond and fish." The other man listened and fearfully attempted to walk across the pond. He was half way towards to center, before he got scared, and staggered his way back to the shore. After seeing this, the first man grabbed his things, boldly walked towards the center of the pond, placed a bucket on the ground, made a hole on the ice, and started fishing.

My question to you is not which one of the two men had more confidence, but what did the courageous man have confidence in? The answer is… the ice. That individual believed that the ice would hold him up. Whenever you believe in something you must always head towards it with full force, with no looking back.

I have been going through so much within the past week. Due to lack of time, I will give you guys a brief overview of my journey and how I could help you out it in making your millions. Last Friday I went to a free marketing convention (usually you have to pay). A marketing convention is a place where small businesses meet up and see how they can help each other. I made sure that I spoke with everyone there. The only criteria they had to meet was that they had to be breathing. Out of the 40+ businesses, I came out there with three prospects. When I got home I sent an email to them, and to some business owners who seemed slightly interested, reminding them of who I was and how I knew that with working with me they would benefit greatly. I’ve been following up with them since.

Yesterday, I sent out a press release, nationally. This was the only way I could see the site progressing to where it needs to be in a couple of months. The plan is to have bloggers and the media talk about the site. I want them to mention how I am promoting the advertisers, giving away my money, and helping you guys become millionaires. I have so much faith that this is going to be my Big Break!

I am telling you the truth. I have been working so hard on making this dream become a reality. The current problems that I face now include paying for news releases, the PR firm, and gas, driving 45 minutes to the TED Center to get my business plan done, contacting new and potential advertisers (this often includes driving back on forth from place to place), updating my website, taking care of my little brother, helping my mother pay the house bills, going to work, and most importantly, writing this journal.

Through all of this I have to find time to sleep and stay positive. I’ve been going through this process for about three years now. The only reason why I do it is because I have faith in one Source. He told me I could, so I will keep going as if were impossible to fail.

I have so much to say to you in such a small time. If I intend on helping you become successful, I must give you every detail of my process. This book would be irrelevant if I chose not to. Last night I went to a business seminar with my mentor. She invited me because I told her I had been somewhat discouraged because everything had not been going as planned. At the time, I thought to myself “I’m doing everything right… why I am I not being exposed like I should be?” So went there expecting an answer.

The presenter gave a speech similar to what I have heard before. I have already written about it in my journal; you cannot manage time, just your priorities. In order to manage your priorities you must, must, must, have a planner. I have one, and if you don’t, go get one now. It does not have to be fancy at all. Just make sure you can write down your daily activities in it. One of the comments he mentioned that really stood out to me was to “never commit to memory that can be written down on paper.” I would advise you to use this piece of information wisely.

He also mentioned that he had never been late for anything for the last five years. He has accomplished this because he has his watch set five minutes early, and always arrives to his appointments at least five minutes before. The main message of the seminar was to prioritize your daily activities if you want to achieve any type of success.

The seminar was followed by worship service. This is where I got the encouragement I needed to hear to move forward. The messenger said to “Believe as if were impossible to fail!” He explained that what ever idea you were given in your mind, and you know that you were destined to accomplish it, do it. You must do everything humanly possible to accomplish it as if it were already there. The stress, money problems, and difficult business relationships that you go through in the process, should not affect your focus. He taught us that success means “having the determination to believe in what you are meant to be.” After hearing that I could not wait to conquer the world!

Today I spent all my time creating a thorough business plan for this company. Although I had already written a plan for the project, Dr. Jimmy believed that it would be best to do it in the form of a complete book. Since that is what he wanted, that was what I did. You must never argue with anyone who knows what they are doing, and are trying to help you.

I should be finished with the business plan by the end of this week. Jimmy said it usually takes two months; I told myself that I had to finish it in a week! If you have a business of any kind it is always best to have a well though out structure and organization down on paper. A dream that is not written down on paper is a vague fantasy that will never come to past.

Also, I forgot to mention that this past Friday I spoke with Dr. Gallon, the President of Palm Beach Community College. The meeting went well. He said that the college would definitely support A Millionaire’s Journal. He seemed like a very relaxed individual and had a good aura about him. It’s unfortunate that this week is Spring Break for the College, because I wanted the support as soon as possible. He said that the decision would be made next week, when we came back from the break. I am so glad I took Patrick’s advice to speak to him, or I probably would have never thought about it.

I am dealing with so much mental stress. The cash flow I was expecting for the first two months did not go as I planned. My expenses have drastically surpassed my revenue. For those of you who do not know, your expenses are money coming out and revenue is money coming into your pocket. To stay afloat in business you must either be at a break even point (revenue = expenses) or making a profit (revenue > expenses). Currently, I’m on the first class bus heading towards Debt City.

It’s a constant struggle, but you must always remember not to let your mind play tricks on you. EVERYONE who is in business is taking a risk. Nothing is ever guaranteed. Remember, when a situation comes up, that makes you feel like giving up, DON’T!!!!! Do not give up! If you are having a hard time encouraging yourself, find someone who will. It helps out so much when you have someone who cares for you and wants to see you succeed when you are down. I want you to know that I want you to succeed. That is why I have written these words. Anyone who was just encouraged by my writings, I believe that you were predestined to receive them. I believe that you will become a prominent figure in the future because of these simple words of support. If I can do it, you definitely can too.

Today was an extremely busy day for me. I had quite a few diverse experiences with three companies: The Urban League of Palm Beach County, The Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, and The Center for Technology, Enterprise & Development (TED) Center. In all the meetings I made sure that I spoke either the President of the organizations, or the person that could best help me. That is one of the tricks I learned when working with the Millionaire, no matter what always speak to the person who controls the people.

My journey today started with contacting Patrick J. Franklin, the president of the Urban League. This was my third trip to the office, because every time I went there he had already left to one of his meetings. Although the receptionist said she had no idea when he would return, I told I wouldn’t mind staying all day waiting until he had walked in.

He eventually came in, and not only did he help me, he gave me good advice on where he thought I would get aid in my project. He advised me to go meet the presidents of the Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. He said they held a directory of all the business owners of Palm Beach county; meaning all the businesses go to them to advertise their company.  He said it would also be a good idea to keep in contact with Andrew, the owner of the company I met earlier this week. At the time when I first met him, I did not realize, until now, how valuable this man was. He founder of a business that is extremely similar to mine. I know now that I must be mentored by him if I desire to be a step closer to my goal.

After that meeting, I took a trip to the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce. My first impression of the President, Dennis Grady, was a person with a dark heart. It seemed like he didn’t really care about people of my kind. I am not saying that he is that kind of person, but I did have a negative vibe about him. The more I poured my heart out about my project to him the more negative and uninterested he became. He even went as far to say that he would never invest in anything that had no value.  Whenever you meet someone like that it means a combination or one of three things: he or she has never tried to create anything on his or her own before, he or she knows nothing about what you are trying to do, or he or she does not want you to succeed.  It was a big discouragement to me, but I just brushed my shoulders off, picked up a free directory, and went on my way to the TED Center.

I thank God with all my heart that He has literally placed people in the path of this lonely road less traveled. The TED Center is not only exactly what I’ve been looking for my whole journey, the people there are whom I’ve been searching for my whole life. They are mentors and coaches who train small businesses get up and running.

The highlight of my visit is when I met Dr. James (Jimmy) Klaber. This man is an angel wrapped up in human flesh. Jimmy gave me so much hope, advice, and words of wisdom, I honestly could not believe at the time that he was sitting there in front of me. Not only does this man have a great educational background, he knows the ins and outs about starting a business from the ground up. Of the many things he spoke about, the main thing that stuck with me was to think BIG!  He said if I wanted to reach towards the city limits of Delray Beach, I might fall within Lake Worth, if I reach for the state of Florida, I might fall within Palm Beach County, if I reach for International limits, I might fall within the United States, if I reach for the world, I might fall within the atmosphere, if I reach for the solar system, I might fall within the planets, reach for the universe, and fall within the galaxies. My new goal for this book is not only to finish it, but to turn my story into a movie. I will have nothing less.

The past couple of days have been extremely busy and exciting. I’m ecstatic to see that A Millionaire’s Journal is finally progressing forward. All I have to do is keep setting up meetings with different companies, and selling them ad spots. I do not plan to this throughout this whole journey.

I have already set up a system that will allow thousands of advertisers to purchase Adverts when the time is ready. I have set a goal of presenting to forty businesses and making at least twenty sales per month. Focus, focus, focus.

I’m here at Denny’s with my best friend. We woke up at 4:00AM to study to start off our busy day. Both of us are very determined individuals. She’s majoring in business finance at FAU, and I know she will become a highly successful individual in the near future.

It’s hard to find individuals who will continue to travel this lonesome rocky road. Many people get distracted by the gravel on the ground, and forget to stay focused on reaching their final destination.

I finally have the time to write in this book. I had no idea that this journey would evolve so much. I was talking to my best friend the other day about how I thought this website was going to be a big hit once it was released. Little did I know that each day would be a constant struggle to try to convince people in believing in me and giving me support.

I had a thought today... I am better off now than I would be if I had decided to continue the safe route; finishing my first degree. If I had decided on finishing my degree in architecture, I would have probably been stuck in a system of working for a paycheck thinking "what if?" "What if I continued on the journey… where would I be now?" I am happy to say that I don’t believe that my old colleagues who used to ridicule me are being talked about in their local newspaper.

I had another successful day. I had a meeting with a Marketing Director of [what I believe is] a well established company. I think the business meeting went well. I again focused on how I knew my company would help give maximum exposure to the business. He said that the probability of their company working with me was ninety percent. I’m pretty confident that we will be working together in the near future.

Earlier today I went to Palm Beach Urban League to find new business contacts. If I am planning on making twenty sales for this month I better have at least forty businesses to pitch my idea to. The real goal is to have advertisers purchase ads themselves, but for the time being I must hustle towards making my goals.

Anyways, the receptionist of the organization gave me a book of local businesses and the contact information of the Director before I left. I am going to try to get in touch with him later help me reach the forty contacts I’m searching for.

I‘ve finally completed the upgrades to the site. The past two weeks have been the most exhausting weeks of my life. I cannot remember the last time I felt so drained. I still have a lot more to accomplish on the site, but I will now focus on making sells for the next couple of weeks. It’s hard, but I cannot stop. Tomorrow is appointment day. I have to at least sell twenty ads for the month of February; I have no choice but to.  I have several appointments to make for tomorrow, and I will make a sale. Everything depends on it.

It has been very discouraging not seeing any productivity. No visitors, no customers. I’ll put an end to that. I believe if one keeps trying no matter what, he or she will reach his or her destination.

Things have been going good for me for the past couple of days. Since the release of the news articles I’ve had several people come and tell me how they liked my idea. Most importantly, my mother can now brag about me to her co-workers. Now that the first stage of the project is completed (people buzzing about me), I’m currently working on the redesign of the website. I have also been working non-stop since last Tuesday updating the new prices. Since January 29th I’ve slept at FAU’s study lounge three times. Remember I live about forty minutes away. The reason for this is to give myself the quiet time I need to execute this project.

No one becomes a millionaire by accident. There is always a struggle or obstacle that one had to go through before reaching that status. For instance, the reason I will succeed is because I have a product and service that will soon become very desirable in the future.

The service that I am offering is directed for the business owners. I’m giving them a chance to be seen by potentially millions of visitors who will come to the site. The product that I am offering is my mind to you. I am not a millionaire yet, but once I have achieved this goal, these words will become very valuable to you.

Today has been an exciting day! I’ve read the two articles written about me in the Palm Beach Post and University Press. Both stories were pretty good, explaining the story about my website. Now my team and I must reach for higher goals for the month of February.

I’m still working on the new design and programming for A Millionaire’s Journal. That’s mainly the reason why I haven’t really been writing down my entries for the past couple of days. I think I have slept only fifteen hours total for the past three days.  The other eighty-one hours have been spent going to work, classes, making business appointments, and most importantly programming.

The day is still young. I’ve written down my plan for today. Whenever one wakes up in the morning and does not know what he or she is going to do for that day, it has already begun to waste. This is something that I was taught early on in my journey.

I just got up from my power nap. I decided to sleep over at FAU to maximize the use of my time. It’s the only way I can get my work done before Wednesday. Why spend time, money, and gas by driving all the way back home, when I can stay here, take a little nap, and then get straight back to work. The chairs weren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I got most of the site design done earlier this morning (around 1:30ish) and I now feel confident that I might be able to finish at least 60% of this project by the end of the day.

Sleeping late and waking up early is something that I am used to. If you are passionate about something you should be willing and able to work for it. You don’t just wake up one morning and say "Hey I’m a millionaire!" As I’ve stated many times before success is a process. If you want to reach a certain goal you must be extremely focused, persistent, and work smart.

I’ve finally come up with a new design for the site. I kept dreaming thoughts about how I think the site should look without bombarding my readers (yes you) with ads while still maintaining the pleasant look for the site. It’s hard thinking of ways to please my readers, advertisers, and the media, but I enjoy it. I’ve have now set up the site so that I can be easy for anyone to buy ads! The pricing is now universal to small, medium, and big corporate size businesses. I am not just targeting the big companies that have gigantic bank accounts: a Millionaires Journal is now good for everyone!

The reason I write these journal entries is not to boast or to sound like I’m arrogant. These words should be an encouragement to all those who are currently working towards their purpose and dreams. If you are working on something and you are at a slump right now, I’m telling you to get up and do something about it. I have met too many people who just sit around and do nothing. That is not the way you should live your life. If you are reading my words now and you can relate to this, that message was especially for you.

I just came from class, not too long ago. My mind wasn’t really focused on what the professor was lecturing about because my mind was elsewhere. I’ve been doing some serious thinking… if I really want this project to succeed; I might have to rework the pricing of my ads. The numbers might be too high for my advertisers. Even though the pricing is a good deal in the long run, the businesses are looking at the upfront fee today. With all the presentations I’ve had so far, the most difficult part has been closing the deal.

I’ve made the decision to offer the Adverts at a lower fee to give the website more momentum. That means I must rework the numbers completely to generate the same profit. My deadline is to reconstruct the website in five days, that’s just enough time before the news goes out next week. Throughout the whole day I’ve been revising the numbers, trying to come up with a more creating approach in solving my dilemma. I should be able to figure it out by tonight… God willing.

The mind of an entrepreneur is always at work. I could have easily given up or kept everything like it was after seeing much progress. But seeing that the price I set wasn’t working for my customers I knew that I either had to change it or use a different approach. If you are currently an entrepreneur (or plan to be one in the future) who is going through a similar situation, don’t be afraid to attack your problem using a different approach. Remember not everything that you plan will go accordingly, or should be set in stone.

A brand new morning. The next couple of weeks are going to be fast pace and exciting. I have a lot of things in relations with the news stories happening next week.  I can use this new coverage as leverage to present to the new business owners that people are (or will be) coming to the website. With the money I generate from the blogs section of the site I can create a buzz in the media, stating that I am actually accomplishing my goals a little bit at a time. I must stay persistent for now.  Although I have not made that much progress are the site has generated 2556 hits so far. This number is mainly from my family, friends, friends’ friends, and from a couple of blogs on the internet. Not that many business owners know about it. That is what I hope the story will do: generate a lot of new visitors to A Millionaire’s Journal website. But all I have to do is have faith and keep the vision.

Oh yeah, today I have a meeting with a Palm Beach Post photographer. And I have a few more appointments to set up for next week.

I just came from a meeting with a company called Graphic-n-Signs. I presented him with the idea to have his Advert placed on my site. I made sure that I gave him a beautiful presentation of how I believed that his company would benefit greatly if he decided to place his ad on the site. I set a deal with him so that I would set his advertisement after the news article goes out on the FAU’s University and the Press Palm Beach Post next Wednesday and Thursday respectively! I thank God that I’m able to go through this process.

Oh my goodness!!!! I got it!!!!!!!!!!! I know a way to help make this site more popular!!!!!!! I will set up a blog to allow everyone to see what I’m currently going through now. And I will sell less expensive advertisements on the blog to help generate no money. The main obstacle I’ve had closing the business meetings so far has been the pricing. Selling the ads on the blog will help generate funding for the local businesses. I am currently targeting them until big businesses make the big purchases! Jackpot!!

I’ve have been so busy this past week. Yesterday I had a two big meetings one being Palm Beach Post staff writer and the other a business owner. I need you to understand that I am still currently enrolled at the community college and I work at least twenty-four hours each week. This schedule will change once things start picking up :). I had a meeting with the journalist at the Computer Lab where I currently work. I think the meeting went very well: I was passionate about what I was saying, answered her questions with honesty, and my boss came by and said good things about me. The writer told me that her photographer would be taking my picture next week, and I would be on the Post the following week.

Following the interview, I went straight to the appointed business meeting I had with the owner of Nitro Toyz Hobby Shop. This meeting was much better than my previous ones. I wrote up a couple of templates to give to the owners after each meeting and a thank you letter as a follow-up to confirm the deal. During the meeting I made sure that I focused mainly on how I believed that my business would help him become known worldwide. He said he thought I did a good job.  After the meeting I went to class to get more knowledge in my area of study. The reason why I’m mentioning all of this is to show you that I am still working towards my goals no matter how hard it may be.

I have a few more things to accomplish before this week is up. I got a call earlier this week from an editor from the UP (University Press). The UP is Florida Atlantic University’s student newspaper. She told me that she spoke with her staff, and they all agreed to make A Millionaire’s Journal on the front page of the release next Thursday. I have a photo shoot tomorrow.  It took a while but my story is finally going to be published on a newspaper!

This past week has been very exciting. The PR Agency that I hired managed to send out my press release to thirty different news distributions: including Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, and AOL Money & Finance. The most exciting part is that two different bloggers picked up on the story and wrote about me in their blog! It was so moving to see that someone was actually writing about me. If you can imagine that up until now, I have been working towards my goals in secret for a very long time. It was refreshing to see that someone was giving notice to one of my projects. While the PR Agency is working on getting me on the news, I can be working on giving presentations to potential advertisers about the site, convincing them to purchase some ads.

I’ve done my research on all the companies that I will be presenting A Millionaire’s Journal to this coming week.  All that is left to do is to call them up and set up meetings. I don’t know why I didn’t think about using The Yellow Pages the first time I started. Anyways, later today I plan on going to the library to create templates of what to say to them, so I don’t stutter when trying to getting my idea across.

I’m over here in the Swap Shop. I’m taking a break from helping my mom sell her merchandise to write to you. At the young age of fifty-two, she’s been doing this for almost twenty years now. I think part of the reason why I was born was to be a blessing to her. She has lived a long, stressful, and unhappy life as a single mother. She was the one who helped me pay off the creditors when I got in dept with the first business. As soon as I have the opportunity to bless her financially I will.

The only time success comes before tenacity is in Webster's Dictionary. Up to this point I have successfully found and hired a PR firm to help me promote A Millionaire’s Journal. The difficult part is finding the first initial advertisers to purchase an advert from the website. EVERYONE (specifically the Advertisers) thinks the website is a good idea, and that it has the potential to work, but no one really wants to put their money where their mouth is.

I’m talking with a company owner right now and I honestly believe that we were meant to do business with each other. He does not see how his company will benefit through advertising with A Millionaire’s Journal. He will be missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime if he chooses not to. I didn’t tell him that I will be very influential the future and that is what makes the book so valuable. Anyways, all that means is that I will just have to look for other potential advertisers to purchase the adverts. In order for this project to be successful I will spend all of next week giving PowerPoint presentations to probable advertisers who really need it. When I go home I’m going to use Google to search for them.

Yesterday I had a meeting with TransMedia Group. They’re the PR Agency that I hired to help A Millionaire’s Journal become known worldwide. After thorough research I decided that they would be perfect for the job. They are currently the number one PR Firm in Palm Beach County and they’ve been in business for over 25 years. They concluded that it wouldn’t be hard for story to be picked up by the media, and they would brainstorm several ideas to make the site grab the attention it needed to become successful.

As of right now there have been 2053 visitors who have come to the website. Most of them have been my friends and family. As the news about the site continues to grow I’m expecting at least one million hits per month for the site. Now there is no doubt in my mind that I will accomplish in due time.

I’ve already started creating the other website. If you read A Millionaire’s Journal you may have remembered that it was the soon to be business that I put aside to work on the eBook website. The design of the site was created in the middle of 2006 while I was working with “the Millionaire.” I started the coding last night because I’m preparing for the launch of the company late 2008.

I launched the site last Friday. I’ve been working hard getting people to believe in my vision. I’m convinced that this website will definitely bring me millions at the young age of twenty-four.

I had to make the initial step of going to small businesses to sell the first Adverts to them. Without them, the bigger companies I plan on buying these Adverts won’t believe in my concept. The smaller companies I’m dealing with now are either skeptical or don’t have enough funds to support my project. It’s hard to actually make deals with some of them. I’m willing to do anything to give others faith in this project. If future copycats only knew what I had to go through to get this idea started, they probably wouldn’t even attempt to imitate my idea.

Of the companies I presented to today, one of the CEOs gave me an option to join an investment group. His company was actually partnered with them. I still need to do further research on how this investment group makes money, but I think this will be a good opportunity for me to make more money in the future. All in all, the business deal was successful because the CEO of the company guaranteed me his support, by buying an Advert on my website.

In my mind I made my first million that day in November when I told myself that I would never give up until I was successful. I have now made a new goal. This journal will be different. I will aim higher. With my Lord’s help I will be who he put me on this earth to be, and I will do what he put me on this earth to do.
