Ok, the answers:

1) I started my own law practice a year and a half ago, so now I'm looking for more and better clients;

2) Business owners in Mexico do not have, in general, a preventive legal culture, most of them only call a lawyer when they have the problem already, and the other one is that everyone always wants to negotiate cheaper rates;

3) My first monetary goal is to reach a steady USD $5k monthly income and I'd love to reach around USD $8k monthly income level;

4) The first accomplishment was to actually decide to leave my 9 to 5 job… then, all the things I've learned about maketing, administration, copywriting, customer service and blogging; in addition, serving clients and being sure they feel good about the service and results I provide;

5) Definitely… I think it is necessary and motivational to hear other stories and to learn from each other.

Thanks a lot and we'll keep in touch!

2.) My biggest roadblock has been the internet. I'm not much of a keyboard warrior. I'm an ex-infantry guy, I mean, c'mon. I box and stuff. Haha, but I'm a geek so I'm loving learning about it all, but seriously putting together something that even REMOTELY resembles a website has been a chore for me. Plug and pray, plug and pray… 20/4 – Work/Sleep schedule.

3.) Haha. I'm so not the type to put my hopes out there. I either deliver or don't! (So when I fail no one knows but me). But okay… I would like to make $500 profit a month from my site. Up to 20k/mo before I'll complain, though.

4.) 4k visitors in a week of the site being up, without even attempting to spam it out anywhere. I'm not even READY over there, I've got dummy content and image resize issues and missing ads and…haha, hiccups 'n stuff. But seriously other than a chunk of visitors that I didn't expect and is still climbing, not too much to get excited about over here. I've just been laid off three months ago and I'm still shooting from the hip, here.

5.) I gotta come back to this one. I've been up since some time yesterday and I got confused when I hit 'mastermind.'

Your post kind of “talked” to me. Good questions.. I don't know if have answered them before for myself, so this is a good opportunity:

1. I started my own blog to share my thoughts, learn through writing and becoming more aware of what I want to do. And, to learn more about my muse.
2. My own belief (working on that )
3. For the remains 2010 , considering I just started, 15k for my own business, without rat-race-goodies
4. I spent 3 months in Australia, where I met the woman I love, travelled together to Japan, Germany and France. Oh, and not to forget, I start not only to become a bit more confident that I can achieve something but also that I am doing my best to find out what my passion is.
5. Yes it will. I am already exchanging information with people alike that is starting to build up their own business, but not yet people who have done it!

Best regards,

1. Set up a blog to get in touch with and eventually create a personal development and movement (acrobatics, circus, dance, fitness, etc.) community. Creating my first information product and working on affiliate marketing. I also joined the circus and working on creating my own troupe

2. Learning the process of internet marketing. Figuring out the technical aspects of web design without losing time on actually working on my product

3. minimum net 10K per month with the next two years. Be location independent.

4. I moved to Seattle to join the circus! I actually took action and created a blog and another website for my product. Each week I am taking definite action that brings me closer to my 10K/month goal.

5. A mastermind mind group would be absolutely wonderful! I know I wouldn't be the only one to benefit from it.

2. Figuring out a way to accelerate my knowledge of internet marketing. One important aspect of my product will be teaching staff at a medical practice the skills needed to promote their services online. I need to figure out how to become an expert in this area before I launch the product. Where can I find ways to gain experience? Where can I find a mentor?

3. Net 50K per month within two years. This would mean about 200 subscribing practices.

4. I have learned WordPress and Xsitepro, created a blog (kind of similar to this one, except more about documenting my way out of the 9-5 as I do it), learned how to use Awebber, learned about affiliate marketing, learned basic html and css. More importantly, I have come up with a plan to escape corporate America and put goals in place to help me do it.

5. Absolutely! Anyone on this site knows that no matter what we are trying to acheive, we are all going to need help along the way. Getting a group of like minded people together with different skill sets would great.
