And a pause...

This weekend was great -- lots of needed family time. It is amazing how much you can love people, yet how they know exactly how to push your buttons. I guess it is a skill ;)

Today was rushing, rushing, rushing. I interviewed a woman to take my place, you could say, when I leave my current job. She had her stuff together, and said one thing which I thought was interesting, in terms of creating businesses and being financially independant.

In the context of the job, she said, "I know what it means to work for someone else" -- she wasn't implying anything other than she knows what a job would entail, but it solidified exactly what it is that I want to be doing -- creating my own empire, not toiling on someone else's pyramid. However, let me clarify to say that I believe that creating true wealth means working with others, and helping others.

What I am getting at is that I want to be in a place where I am helping someone, and also being helped to achieve my goals.

I will be at my current job for another 2 months or so -- but it already feels like the rush is coming, to get all the projects done before I leave, which leaves me feeling like I do not have enough time to put aside for RE research.

There are 3 houses which I am really interested in seeing this upcoming weekend -- I am planning on setting up at least 10 serious possibilities of properties to see.

We are planning on bringing up our bikes to bike the area, to get to know it better.

So tomorrow, I will be working on setting up appointments and getting the ball rolling. We will also be working on getting pre-approved for mortgages, so we have that in hand.
