I have a dream, finally. Most people know what they want to do with their lives sometime during high school or part of the way through college. Most of the people my age have graduated college and are getting ready to go back for their masters or whatever. I, on the other hand, didn't really have that big of a dream. I had a lot of things that I liked, but not enough to really make it happen.
Now, I still want to write, take lots of pictures, and homeschool my child. But this is a goal that I will work hard towards and will help me to direct my energies so that I don't keep starting projects and leaving them unfinished. Who am I kidding, I'll probably still do that, but I won't do it as often. My new dream, and don't laugh to hard, is to become Donald Trump of Alaska.
Here's how it works in my brain: 1) Pay off all of our debt (my husband and myself) while I am learning to keep up with my responsibilities now. 2) Save up money while buying most of our things locally grown or made. 3) Learn as much as possible about the farming, baking, and cooking going on in my town. 4) Figure out what my community needs; for example, someone who can grow a crop not yet produced locally. Then, start a small business that fills that need. 5) Repeat step 4 until I am happy with the community that I live in.
See? If I do this, I'll be like the Donald Trump of my community. I'd be even more like him if those companies that I started grew to help the whole state. I love this idea and I am extremely excited. It will take a long time, but we, my husband and myself, can make this happen.
