01/06: From Nothing to Riches in a Few Steps
Some of you who find your way here will recognise me from The Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek. That is still my site and a blog that I invest a lot of work into.
However, I have hit upon an idea so breath taking in it's ordasity and so stupendous in it's scope that if I even partly succeed I will have changed my life forever. I may, in the process, have an impact on some other people.
The name of this site "more turf" was chosen from the collection of domain names I have on ice (ready for such mad-cap ideas) because it embodies part of the aim - to take something and make it more.
In this case the site will give me more space to write.
More cyberturf to play on.
More name-space to build a bigger empire for my children.
More Turf.
Without the turf war.
Now what I plan to do is simple.
Find a penny and turn it into a million pounds.
Yes that is my plan.
I am going to do it in 32 steps. Those 32 steps include getting my site ready to talk about doing it too.
Each step has a limit. If I generate more money than the limit in the process of increase I will be removing that extra and some I might keep but much I will give away.
I have added further rules for myself - no trade can take place exclusively within my own household. This means that unless I can attract people into my home to trade with I must go out into the world.
While this means little to most people who go outside most days it is a big deal to me. I often might not leave my home for weeks at a time. Not laziness but commitment to my work which I do from home.
It will also help me loose the extra girth around my midsection and at the same tie help me to get a life back.
I started to do this today and found a penny while I was putting my shoes on. It might have been mine or my wife's or even it could have come from the children. It was my penny found in the corner.
My next step is to make it into 2p.
