What is all this about...who is Sam Stone?

Greetings and welcome,

My name is Sam Stone, I'm 27 and live in Surfers Paradise, Australia. I started this blog as a journal of a journey to financial freedom I have set my self a goal to earn $15ooo a month from multiple sources in 12 months. The condition is that I want time freedom to be able to travel and be a full time parent when the time comes, so the income streams have to be passive, residual and virtual.

I am going to report on every step I take so you can follow me on all my ups and downs along the way as I unlock this Holy Grail of a lock to financial riches. It is going to be an amazing journey which I hope you join me so you can learn how to and see right before your eyes some one going from broke and in debt to earning $15000 a month from home. And this way I benefit because you can give me a push if you think I am not on track. I can be a bit lazy that is part of why I am doing this so you can hold me accountable. As my mentor (you will meet him soon) always says "You need to hold your self accountable, He also says leverage whatever you can and from my studies it is the easiest and quickest way to wealth." because I am a bit lazy I am going to use you as leverage to keep me on track to achieve my goal. I hope you don't mind?...

So who am I?

My name is Samuel Stone, I grew up in Melbourne and ever since I can remember I have always wanted to live a full life of freedom, where I call the shots and do what I want. Like most kids I wanted to be a rock star, the lifestyle of a king.
I grew up in a very optimistic and encouraging house hold. After high school I worked as a maintanence person for a nursery. In 2001 I got a job in direct sales, commission only, selling Home security door to door. After 2 years and record stats I open my own office in the company. I was loving it. I was 24, knew nothing about business but had a company and was earning more money than most people I knew. Three months later that company went out of business and because I spent all my money ( I had a great life style) I closed the doors with $10000 in debt from a car and credit card and got scared.
After that happened I felt like a failure and went and got a job. I knew I could make good money in sales and I needed to get out of debt and fast so I could start again. Shortly after I spoke to a good friend who I used to work with and said he was earning good money selling Timeshare in Fremantle. After he put in a good word they put me on a plane and off I went to Western Australia.
A year later I met my mentor, Paul and started laying the foundations, Thank You Paul I owe you so much. In march I came over to surfers paradise working for the same company.
That is where I am now. I am still $6000 in debt and am going to take you on a wonderful journey to earning $15000 per month . Watch it all unfold as I see it unfold.

In the next post I will lay out my plan and stategies I will be using to schieve my goal. Until then ...keep smiling.

Sam...
