Here we go...

Wow - my first blog. Why am I am doing it?

A few reasons really, but first a bit of background for anyone who might have popped in.

I am due to be made redundent from my workplace in around 35 weeks (can you see where the title came from....?!). While I confident of my ability to get another job, I have an opportunity to try to break free from the wage slave existence and put to use some of biz ops I have laying around. Instead of single handedly supporting the industry, its time for payback.

This blog will show my progress. If I can do it, anyone should be able to. This blogs acts as diary so I can remember what I have done and also commits me to action. With an "audience" I can't really procrastinate or put things off. This should keep me honest and motivated if I have an "off day".

At the very least I will be able to publish an ebook showing my way to success (or "How not to Achieve Financial Independence" if it goes wrong).

It will be a bit of a slog but I'm hoping the work I put in should pay off.

Okay, thats it for today. Tomorrow - the plan.
