After recently coming back from Las Vegas to Michigan, I’ve decided to stay. I just recently made this big decision to make Michigan my home once again. I’ve always planned to move to Manhattan, NYC next, and I still do, but I’ve now decided to defer that move and stay here in Michigan for at least the next year or two. So I am now going to be living fulltime again in the city where I was born and raised. If you know me well, then you know that this is a big decision that is very contradictory to my traditional mindset towards living in here in Michigan. I normally hated living here primarily because of the cold weather & lack of significance. Now, I love the thought of living here! So, why the change of heart?

The decision to live here in Michigan again was one that happened in less than a second, just like my decision to skip college. The vision of living a certain lifestyle here in Michigan just popped into my head recently out of thin air. I knew that my mind was completely made up the moment that I had this vision and that I was staying put here in Michigan for the next year or two before moving to New York City to establish my world business headquarters. However, it felt kind of strange for a while since I didn’t have the full logic for this decision and was operating on a lot of intuition at the time. I just knew that the vision superseded my other current ones for lifestyle in the next year or two and integrated extremely well with my goals of achievement. This lifestyle vision is what makes me love the town I once hated.

After thinking about this decision on and off for another week or so, I discovered the logic for why I wanted and am going to be living here in Michigan for at least the next year or two. So the reason why I am going to live here in Michigan for the next year or two and not a big city comes down to the two following primary reasons…

1) Michigan is insignificant. I grew up here and have seen everything around here worth seeing. It is not a major hotspot like all of the places I wanted to be in. It is dumb, boring, old, and ugly. This is the perfect combination of characteristics that I am looking for! I thought it was crazy too until I figured this out… I missed my millionaire goal in both 2006 & 2007. I’ve been too focused on achieving bigger feats and too bound by my four major constraints at the same time. So I figured out that living in a big city only drives me to want to produce nothing less than extreme results but doesn’t change my constraints. That mindset without further resources and/or leverage causes me to spin my wheels and not produce near as much as I should be. Therefore, being in the one place that is the complete opposite, where I grew up in Michigan, is the best place right now for maintaining an effective mindset for becoming a millionaire. Michigan is dull, so I find becoming a millionaire exciting enough while I’m here. In a big hotspot, it isn’t usually isn’t enough for the mindset I am in there. With my current constraints, I’m not going to make good on the extreme goals right now. This is why I’ve decided to first focus on passing a net worth of one million and customize my environment to doing just that. Right now, that means living in the dull city that I grew up in, here in Michigan.

2) I’ve never really taken full consistent ownership of my lifestyle in the way I would like to. I’ve done a lot of fun things with some fun people, but I haven’t created a completely custom lifestyle to as deep of a level that I know I can at this position in my life. This is what the vision I had for living in Michigan really captured for me. To achieve this lifestyle while living here in Michigan throughout the next year or two, I will need to acquire some more notable resources in order to pull it off. Otherwise, my lifestyle fulfillment will probably remain near past levels. The core resources that I will need to acquire are another few hundred thousand dollars in cash and a certain number and type of people to consistently keep company with in my life here. The purpose of this custom lifestyle is to produce a huge amount of happiness & momentum, and a custom tailored mindset for achievement so I can efficiently & effortlessly transition into the next major chapter of my life in Manhattan, NYC after Michigan. What best causes these awesome feelings and effects within me is when I experience feelings of ample significance + connection within my life. This lifestyle will cause me to feel that to a large degree once I am living it here in Michigan. First, I need to build up those specific base resources of more money & people. The reason Michigan is tied into this is primarily due to the cost of lifestyle. I could and would do all of this in a major hotspot if I had ample funds to do so. However, it might cost 10X as much in a hotspot to produce the same effects. My current strategies have a lot of leverage in them for quickly generating this few hundred thousand dollars that I need. I’m extremely excited to build this deeply customized lifestyle here in Michigan with loads of significance + connection in it!

So there it is! I’m back in the city I grew up in and I am staying put for the next one to two years as long something extremely significant doesn’t come into my life during this time. Once I become a in a super powerful financial position and feel that it is the right time, I’ll make the move to Manhattan, NYC to establish my world business headquarters. In the meantime, I will become a big fish in a small pond and totally dominate the scene here in Michigan. This should help create some awesome content for my website!
