The Theme of Prosperity

One of the problems with blog and online diaries in general is that a lot of people don't think much about their purpose and goals. Why do you keep a blog? Is it a semi-private diary? Is it a place to connect with people you know in real life? Is it a potentially money-making venture? Is it a place to find validation of your worth as a human being through virtual connection with others? And what's the end result? Cash? Love? Readers?

I'm not a marketer. My efforts on my first (and to date only) book bear that out. I don't know how to get people to come here and make the effort to read this -- apart from maybe writing well and being interesting. I don't know how people are going to discover that I exist. But it's OK because that's not my primary goal here.

For the record:

The purpose of Grow * Prosper * Thrive is to explore the concept of prosperity as a list of practically applicable steps as well as an overall world view.

The goal of Grow * Prosper * Thrive is a) for my family to become more prosperous and b) for the content here to coalesce into workable material for a future book.

And I can see that both those happening already. The keys to prosperity seem to be tying together into both a contiguous mental framework as well as a practical todo list. Though my posting speed has slowed a bit, I'm excited by this fact. I can learn to think this way! I can do these things!

Next up, the final keys to prosperity as well as a the beginnings of a guide or manifesto that ties them all together...
