A gringo after my own heart

January 12, 2008 · Filed Under Gringo observations

I came across a site today where some gringo has a goal of making $100,000 USD in one year. Apparently this goal was put out into the universe in July 2007.

I’m not sure where this gringo is with his goal, but a post on Jan. 2nd says:

I’m a graduate school student who is tired of spending my life meeting someone else’s deadline and doing someone else’s work. I started working for other people when I was 16 and I have to be honest: it’s not that exciting. Maybe I just haven’t met the right boss, but I don’t think that’s the case. I’ve had some pretty friendly bosses. There’s just something about working for yourself that makes the time fly by, and makes every ounce of “work” exciting.

This blog is dedicated to independence, financial independence, which is the highest form of freedom that exists in this day and age. With enough income you can live anywhere, do just about anything, and set your own hours. No salaried job in the world can offer you that no matter how much it pays you.

This blog will chronicle my short term goal method of achieving my dreams. Every month I will pick one business idea to plan and execute. I’ll keep you posted on the results on this blog.

This blog is an experiment in entrepreneurship, motivation, and most importantly, financial independence. As the months progress, I will show you step-by-step how to achieve it.

So, has he abandoned the dream? I mean, $100,000 USD would make him a peso millionaire for sure! Nah, he didn’t abandon it, he just kind of extended his timeline…

So I’m rebooting the goal. By January 6, 2009 I will make $100,000 (net) online.

So, there you have it. There just might be two peso millionaires on the web by the end of the year! Track the other gringo’s progress at One Year Goal.
