New Years Resolution

I have one new years resolution and one new years resolution only. And that is to be about the $$$. In 2009 I blew money and that was fun - buying rounds of drinks, buying a new laptop, little luxuries, spending 200$ on hair, etc. Thats nice but now is time to step out of the playpen. In 2010 its all about CASH. Assets, politics, money, and power. I dream about this stuff! Power is something I'm actually passionate about. I love power, I love having it, I love people with it, any kind of power I just love it. Thats how I know I would make a good lawyer.

I know how to tell people what they want. And I know I can convince people to see things my way <--- I do that all the time. I know what it takes to be influential. So like I need to apply all of that!

Step One AGGRESSIVE PAYS THE BILLS

When it comes to opportunities I typically have been very passive. I need to be more direct and not take the answer I dont want for an answer. The next time my grandmother says that she thinks its not really a good idea for me to get a job, I'm going to tell her I already decided to get one and she is going to like it. I don't care lol. If I want to go on a trip then I am going and I don't care what anyone has to say about it.

Bottom line, I can't be passive. I get this passivity from the way I was raised in my early years. But I know I have an aggressive streak. Today Bean asked me why I'm always yelling at them, and I snapped "because I get irritated easily". It was an offhand answer, but looking back it was pure honesty. I do get irritated all the time and I actually have an attitude problem but no one knows by the way I hide it. I learned how to just be nice and pleasant all the time but nice and pleasant isn't going to pay the bills.

Step Two BE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

I have to be commited and willing to get down and dirty. Like you know how I won't do something if it will inconvenience me. But I have to make sacrifices to get things. No more being squeamish. I'm making sacrifices. I'm going to drive if I have to, even (gag) catch the bus if I have to. I'm going to go to social events that I don't feel like going to if it will get me ahead. What if I need to be a stripper to support myself? Then I have to be prepared to do that. That was an extreme example but I'm saying I need to stop being a little prissy princess and roll up my sleeves and hop into the pig pen. If I'm going to be rich one day its going to take sacrifices. Matter of fact I'm going to watch the Players Club and learn all about true sacrifices.

So my new years resolution is?

World here I come! Give me your $$$ and all the nice things!
