HI, James. I think you’ll be able to relate to my blog post, “Spitting Into the Wind”: http://bolstablog.wordpress.com/2013/12/08/spitting-into-the-wind/

Kiyosaki even gave 5 years only for changing the mindset from employee to B quadrant.
At that point he must not even expect income.
I say your 5k hrs is even conservative

I found your blog just now and I daresay at a time i need it the most. This is not a comment for this post alone. This is a comment for a series of posts that I have been reading over the past 1 hr or so.

Hi I have a question. I find it hard to learn from reading things. How do you go about memorising and learning the stuff you read in the more technical books?

Yes, the first step is to realize you own your life in fee simple absolute. Your life is a series of games where your wife is your queen, your children are your rooks, your business associates are your bishops, your family are your knights, and your work and ideas are your pawns.

Your life becomes whatever you think about and focus on the most. The 3 keys to success are practice, practice, and practice.

As you are already a national master, continue on until you become a life master and even a Kasparov on your own terms according to your personal values and ego.

I am at 1475 rating and extremely happy, since I struggled most of my life to attain even a 1200 rating.

Congratulations on your first year, James! I think your experiment with brutal frankness is a success. Your blog belies the fear that if we are honest and open about ourselves, everyone will rightfully despise us. I’m very grateful for your willingness to expose and analyze your own weaknesses and mistakes. It benefits me not only by affording me the opportunity to recognize and perhaps bypass some pitfalls in my own life, but also allows me to see and know another human being on a very honest, personal level. Being privileged with knowing someone like that is a very rare gift. Thank you for giving that in your blog. I look forward to your posts in year two! :-)
