That’s the title of the book I’m currently reading and it’s written by Wil Schroter (Go Big or Go Home by Wil Schroter). I was actually given a free copy by Wil so I can give him some feedback on it. I’m actually in the middle of it right now and I must say it’s a great read. If you’ve ever wondered how companies like Google and MySpace have made it so big in such a short amount of time, this is the book to read. It provides great insight as to how it is the perfect time for a start up if you position yourself right and grow appropriately with the correct business model. It’s all about scalability and profitability accompanied with growth. I highly recommend his work as even if you don’t plan to start anything it still lets you in on what makes companies like Google so successful in such a short period of time.

In other news, I cashed in all my change from my change jar from the previous school year and landed a fresh $20 bill straight from the bank. Of course, that $20 is going straight to the oil companies as I fill up my gas guzzling V6 at $3 a gallon. Still worth it, I think (both the saving up change and the car). I really do suggest keeping a change jar as it really does add up. No way was I expecting $20, more like 9 or 10. Try dumping change you have in your pockets at any given moment into your change jar, and it should really add up.

Finally, I want to mention that I do want to make this an interactive blog. I appreciate all the early support I’ve been getting from readers all over the world and I certainly do appreciate any comments you leave as I would love to hear what you think about my journey to financial freedom. Feel free to make suggestions as to what you want to hear more of in my posts and what not. Let me know and keep those comments comin’.
