Starting Over from Scratch

Empty Pockets

I guess I've always had a dream of starting from nothing and then becoming wealthy and successful by building my own business. In my mind that's the real American Dream, and that's been my goal, at least subconsciously. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, I'm now poised to do exactly that.

I've got what I think is a great business concept for starting a company, and I'm ready to begin work on the business plan for it. The unfortunate part is that I am now completely broke. After borrowing a five dollar bill from my oldest son, I had enough cash left to pay my tithe on the last thing we sold before leaving Arizona (a child-sized violin for $125). I now have not a penny to my name. So begins my journey from penury to riches.

Success is a process, a quality of mind and way of being, an outgoing affirmation of life.
