Got to start somewhere

My Name is James I'm 30 years old and I live in Colorado. I went to school to be an Automotive Technician  I graduated in the top of my class from two different schools. I worked as a transmission tech for a Chevy and Caddy dealership. I realized I couldn't make the kind of money I wanted working for someone else. I had the opportunity to open my own shop at 24 years old. I jumped at that opportunity and built a business from nothing. I had a very successful 5 years doing that. My business grew, and so did the stress and work load. It was getting harder and I was working more and more. I sold the business a year ago. I have enjoyed an awesome year of freedom. I took several vacations, went hiking/backpacking for 3 months straight. I've been working a lot on health, fitness and personal development.

During my 3 month hike I had a lot of alone time with no one to talk to but myself... I tried to develop a split personality so I could talk to myself like Gollum and Smeagol from Lord of the rings haha. It never worked out. I guess I'm not crazy enough. So instead I thought of things I can get abscessed about when I get home. One of those things was another blog. I enjoyed the blog I did for my hike, Sharing my experiences with others and having a way to look back at what I have accomplished. I want to do the same thing with this one. But grow the concept Go zero to HERO into something more than just a blog. I don't exactly know what that is yet, but I'm working on it. For now this Blog is about me, and what I plan to accomplish and how I did it. Maybe a motivational tool of sorts.

Did you know if your not actively doing things to affect your life in a positive way. It's going down in a negative way? It's true, there is no staying the same. Everything you do in your everyday day to day activities either affects you negatively or positively. That's the Slight edge principle. I read the book it was incredible. "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olsen is about simple daily disciplines that equal massive success. I brought that up cause it's a huge part of how I intend to achieve success. I highly recommend this book.

One of my zero to HERO projects I'm really excited about is becoming a pro archer. Thanks to a friend of mine (Thank you Dale) who brought a decent kids compound bow camping with us something amazing happened. I was actually able to hit the target. Which was a first time ever. I want to see if I can get good enough in a really short time to go pro or maybe win some local competitions and compete in some national events. I'm only limited by how far I want to take it.
