The Lazarus Affair

I feel as good as dead. I have been frozen by fear and stuck with bad decisions for a long long time. I am in debt. I am out of shape. I want to be free. I am frustrated. I could give up, but that option is no good.

I know down deep inside that I can come back to life. I am surrounded by information and opportunity. Up until now I have chosen to ignore this. NO MORE. It is time for the dead to rise again.

So here is the challenge: I am going to have my health, financial, and business affairs turned around in 100 days. November 20th is my due date. In this span of time I intend to start my own business and gain control over my finances and begin training for my health.

Here are the positive things I have going at this point: I have a loving and supportive family. I have good friends who will stand beside me. I have a good job and I work hard at it. I am in better shape than I was 10 years ago, but not to the level I want to be at.

Here are the obstacles: There is too much month left at the end of the money. I have never worked for myself. I have spent too much time focusing on the immediate and have not planned for the future.

How I intend to proceed: I have set the due date. I am going to break the 100 days down into smaller increments with goals at each stage. I am going to log my progress here each day. I have set aside books from my library to read during this period of time. As I work on each goal I will blog about lessons I am gleaning from my hardbound mentors.

Even if no one ever reads these words, I am going to write. I want a record of the journey I take to success. It may be a messy affair, but Lazarus will rise again.
