This is the year. The year that I do something!
This year I’m trying to improve on my weaknesses as a person. I’m determined to move ahead in life. I’m tired of slaving away in factories for chump change. The question has always been how?
I have good ideas. I have good insights. So what? Unless I act upon them, then they’re useless.
My problem is that I get easily paralyzed by indecision. There’s so many ways to do things that I’ll try to evaluate all options, mainly as a form of procrastination, until the urge to create has left me. Then I’m just filled with self-loathing until the next opportunity comes along, then the cycle starts again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I spend a LOT of time researching ways, tools, systems for making money, and I have thousands of bookmarks spread across multiple computers - none of which fit in to the big social bookmarking sites. I can’t believe that I’m the only person that is in this position.
The article Ten Differences Between Wanna-Be’s And Entrepreneurs at 365 to Freedom really lit a fire under me, and helped me to squash my ego a bit at a time when a lot of little things began to coalesce at once.
BookmarkMoney.com is the end result of two or three ideas that I’ve had floating around for a while, coming together at once in a blinding flash of inspiration. The core of the site is going to be Digg style website powered by Pligg. As much as I enjoy the general social bookmarking sites, most of them are just catch-all’s, most of which don’t have any categories for certain types of bookmarks that I want to upload.
I plan on posting here when I see things that I think are new or notable. Site announcements will be made here too. There are some really big things in the pipeline right now, but since I’m only one guy, they may take a while, and I’m not going to drop any hints until I actually have something concrete to present to the internet.
Thanks Walt for the shove I needed. Best of luck.
Here’s looking forward to a bright year!
