Although 2017 is not yet finished, as it comes to a close I reflect and compare what a year it has been. It started out fully believing this will be the year I go all out and really see what kind of success I can achieve. That mind-set is really what made the difference.
I turned 21 this year and I've brought my stock portfolio to 33% increase, I've put nearly a fifth of my income into savings, I completely rebuilt my dirt-bike engine without any experience, I completely built my own desktop computer without any experience, I continued my weight loss journey and reached a total of -50lbs, I purchased my 21st car and sold it two weeks later for a 110% ROI, My wage at work has increased about 65% while also building a video production/ photography business on the side. I made a business partnership with my best friend and started a website based on my enthusiasm for outdoors ( www.VenturaOutfitters.com ) I've restored my faith in love and believe I've met the woman I'll marry, I traveled off the continent for the first time and also visited 4 new states multiple times. I learned how to ride a snowboard and experienced 5 different resorts and even some back- country at Lolo pass, Montana.
You may just be skimming through this thinking "wow this guy is really full of himself" or that my year hasn't been that impressive But what I'm really sharing this for is those of you that have BIG DREAMS but small ambition. It may seem impossible to achieve all of those big goals and dreams, but don't let that discourage you. I'm here to say the cliche reminder that anything is possible. It really comes down to passion. Not just finding something you enjoy doing but DISCOVERING PASSION FOR GROWTH AND SUCCESS!!!!

"Without passion, you don't have energy; without energy, you have nothing. Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion!" Donald Trump

Haha you are the first person I've ever heard quote donald trump positivly!! Thank you so much for sharing. Other than the man having a bad reputation or public image, I'm thankful for what he is doing .

;). He didnt before he ran for office. Pretty strange how the elites have pooh poohed him.

Some of his books have some priceless information.

I'll be sure to look into his books! What gets me is how so many people claim he's such an idiot while at the same time, he one of the most successful well known people in our country. but you know how that old saying goes " haters gon' hate"

Hes a genius. Just look how he termed "fake news" and changed the tides. Hes doing alot of stuff he wrote in his books. Im not too political or government loving but i see what i see. And yes as far as success goes, some of his books are on youtube as well. Crap the way your going you might be president lol.
