Wow. I've been really lazy… Not really, but it has been way too long and I need to be better. 

The initial goal of this blog was to improve my writing skills and be able to articulate my thoughts in writing better. By not writing I am hurting myself and not improving vital skills in business and in life. 

I will write for 55 consecutive days ending on August 5th. Today counts as day 1. I might lose some readers, but I might also gain some since I will be actually creating new content. 

The posts will be about my current endeavors and my takeaways from them. They include, my start-up Elementz Nutrition, real estate projects that I am involved in, consulting, and other minor projects. 

This will do for now. 

Enjoy these great Mark Twain Quotes:

"An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before."

and

"Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time."

I just started reading Ramits book "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" on managing and automating your finances. He gives tips on how to get most out the services that you use, and if they are wrong for you to ditch them and find the best available alternative service. The books title may sound like a scam but he is very clear on what you need to do and what approach you should take. 

Take a look at this video and check out his website.
