The purpose of UpThinker.com and the UpThinker blog is to help us all keep our heads in the clouds where our goals, ambitions, ideals, and visions are clearest.
I have a passion for helping others reach their goals and a strong interest in the full circle of going from an initial idea to watching that idea materialize. I do like to do other things as well; I like messing with gadgets, playing video games, and having a good time, but most of those things don’t give me that feel good warmth in the base of my soul. I want that feel good; I want to help others.
Another thing that I’d like to do is start a business built around the idea of helping others reach their goals and dreams. I’d like to not only do what gives me that warm feeling, but also pay the bills doing it as well. Of course, even though I’d like to start a business around the idea of helping others, I have no idea how to do that. The only thing I could previously think of as a starting point was to look up how to start a business on the cheap. As you can imagine, all kinds of articles came up but a few of them caught my interest. Out of those articles, nothing really hit the spot for me. Much later I incidentally ran across this article which talked about launching your business with a blog. That article hit the spot for me, and was part of the motivation to start this particular blog and this site.
As of right now, I have a day job where I do some 3d design, roll around in Microsoft office a bit, run a few numbers through a calculator every now and then, and have a good laugh-fest with my co-workers. I like my job, and it doesn’t give me that warm feel good feeling I get from knowing that I had a hand/finger/influence in helping someone along the path to their dreams/goals/whichever. Occasionally I get to watch my attitude rub off on others, but at my day job, it’s not really something I’m focusing on. In other words, I’m not really in the mix as I’d like to be. That’s why I created this site! Now, I can keep my day job and have a really awesome and fulfilling business on the side.
With this site, I want to focus less on talking about gadgets I have/want, memory tricks, how my day at work was, random ramblings, what I think about the weather, and focus more on positive thinking, setting and reaching goals, uplifting stories, and the like – basically I would like this web space to function as a resource for uplifting and tid-bits of encouragement along with some advice/tips/tricks along the way. This, in itself, is something that I like to do anyway person-to-person so I think UpThinker will ultimately be a win-win for anyone interested.
The purpose of UpThinker.com is to help myself and others keep our heads in the clouds where our goals, ambitions, ideals, and visions are clearest; and to provide uplifting and encouraging thoughts, ideas, stories, videos, and the like.
