The important thing is to start. Even though you will never truly finish...

Today is one of the best days of my life.
A few years ago I was in a hole. One I dug myself into, and at the time, thought I may not be able to get out of. A lot of things went down at that time, and it doesn't really matter what events took place to create such
a large chasm.
But, thankfully, with the support of family and friends, I did begin the climb. The best part of that ascension was that I had a goal. An unwavering, singularly focused goal. A goal that would not only allow me to rise even with my previous "pre-hole" self,
but also to give me focus for years to come.
Today I began my company, Jalido.
On my climb, I learned to take the baby steps. I learned how to be patient with the process, and enjoy the ride. I changed my old lifestyle. Goodbye television, Hello extra time. When I come home from my current (and hopefully last) "day job", I start my "life job". Yes, the one I will be at for the rest of my life.
I am writing this today, to say thank you to all of the online "guidance counselors" that had a hand in what I have accomplished so far. Thank you for giving me a base from which I will be set for the rest of my years. The people listed below don't even know they helped me, because we have never met. All of them made a real difference in my progression.
NOTE: These are real people. Real people can be raw and brutally honest, which means there may be naughty language in these links.
Click the names to see, hear or read why these people are awesome.
I have learned so much from everyone,
Thank you for keeping me continuously motivated day after day. I would not have been able to do this without you!
Thank you.
-Joe
