2008 was year of "Transition"! Quick Recap:
- Summer 2007: My daughter is born and a desire to create wealth rapidly while having the freedom to spend my time with her begins. I had already began to scale back on my marketing agency duties to make time for short leave of absense.
- Fall 2007: See a consistent theme across millionaire mentality books. The way to wealth is through business ownership and real estate investing.
- Spring 2008: Begin searching for real estate investing education resources. Join Nouveau Riche and begin brainstorming my career change.
- June 2008: Launch TheRealEstateNewbie.com as a way to learn, share what I am learning, and network with other real estate investors as I learn. News8Austin features me on their story for The Central Texas Foreclosure Tour as a homebuyer/real estate investor.
- July 2008: Put together the first "No Money No Credit" Austin Bus Tour for local real estate investors about the investing strategy- Subject-To.
- August 2008: Interviewed for "Football Wives Who Win" Online Radio Show about "How to Score a Real Estate Touchdown".
- September 2008: Interview Sally Brown, wife of UT- Longhorns Mack Brown (and fellow Coach's wife) for my Podcast about Land Development. (Dream realized!)

- Winter 2008: Announce my vision to launch in 2009 Sara's Home: Home Mortgage Relief Fund for Cancer Patients. A large and very personal undertaking.
2009 is a year of "Prosperity"! Goals:
- Sara's Home: Save 100 cancer patients' homes from foreclosure. Raise $500k to fund the non-profit organization.
- TheRealEstateNewbie.com: Continue to build this site as a wealth of information for real estate investing newbies. Provide quality content through bringing on more contributors, quality podcast guests, and more. Be ranked in the Top 200k by Alexa.com.
- As a Real Estate Investor: Purchase first two investment properties. Do multiple deals a month. Continue learning. Bring in an income that will enable me to give $50k from my personal income to Sara's Home.
- Personal: Spend more than 65% of my time with my daughter. Reach optimum health. Grow Spiritually. Be surrounded at all times with friends and loved ones. Love what I do. Keep learning.
