OfflineThese are the things I am going to do to get started on the right track:
1.Read
2.Study
3.Spend more time on DG.Com
4.Read more
5.Study more
6.Take action
So the thing I'm going to do today is start reading Dean's books again and post in my journal. Do the 30 day fast start audio and do the 15 min. of fulfillment. I'm also going to start doing online typing course, computers are the only thing that scares me as much as my ex-wives ha ha. I have almost 30 years experience in construction and no experience with computers, if I could work on computer with a hammer and a saw then I would be pretty good 
I also feel that fear is just excitement with the wrong label. Your body reacts to fear, excitement and anxiety, the same. Your heart rate goes up, you get nervous, so you just need to put the right label on it. I believe the only thing that can stop me or you from do anything is ourselves. I will try to post on my journal every day so I can watch my progress and be accountable for what I need to do.
I think this journal is one of the best ways to get started. Thanks for this site, I know every answer is here if I just look and read.
I Look forward to seeing your successes! I see you have the right mindset and you will go far in this business. Just stick to it and keep pushing forward......your time will come!
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop and look fear in the face. Do things you think you cannot do. Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Welcome to the Fam! I just noticed your post on my guestbook today (along with this thread for your journal). It's comforting to see another home boy join the group...makes make me feel right at home (not that the others here haven't)lol! I see you're in Alabaster...a "little" ride from Moody, huh?!
Chase is right; you seem to have a good attitude along with the right mindset. I like your remark about the hammer and saw. I feel that way, too at times. Your initial action steps are right on track. You have obviously been reading on this site and instantly earned credibility with your last sentence "I know every answer is here if I just look and read". If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask though. We'll jump in and help.
I sent you a PM so give me a call when you can.
Here's to your success!!!

Oh no....a bama family reunion and no invite? what the heck? LOL!!
Hey Klay...great action steps. Looks like you are right on track! Klay/John, both you guys have huge advantages with both your backgrounds and experience, coupled with your attitudes, desire and forward progressions.....no doubt to be major players!
Don't stress over the computer skills. It's all a learned skill too. None of us were born with a mouse in hand. Just remember the 'Back Button and Undo Button' are our friends! haha!
Keep up the great work! As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be of assistance!!!
Action cures fear!
Looks like you have things started in the forward direction with conviction.
Forward>>>>>>>>>>
Best wishes to you !!
