My Personal Growth and Development – A Declaration, $500K /90 Day /$50K to Charity
Let me declare something up front, I’m very uncomfortable doing a public declaration for my personal growth and development. This is why I’m going to do it. 2010 is my year for no ego… so anything that makes me uncomfortable, I want to do. I’m been around personal growth and development my whole life, however, it’s always been a private conversation…. not any more!
I get comments all the time, “how successful you are Philip” or “I saw your commercial on TV, you must be making a fortune.” Newsflash: I’m not.
For the past two years I have pulled money out of my savings as I attempted to “figure out” how to be a thought leader around credit. As many of you know, I’m very passionate about credit. After reviewing tens of thousands of credit reports, I’m convinced that the system is unfairly set up against the average American.
Am I making money? Yes. But not enough to cover my expenses. Am I still earning money form the loan business I’ve been in for 13 years? Yes. But not enough to cover my expenses. Each month I’m pulling out of savings and it is very unsettling.
I ask myself – should I just quit? Should I do something else? I ask myself that every day. What type of Husband and Father am I if I cannot provide for my family? What type of Husband or Father am I if I take money out of savings every month?
Last week I attended a four day business retreat, and I left there moved and inspired. It talked about being aligned with my goals, goals that feel right. About choosing Big Noble Goals.
Here is mine for the next 90 days:
Earn $500,000 in 90 Days, with $50,000 being donated to charity when I achieve it.
How will I make this happen, I have no idea. What I do know, it will not be the way I have been doing it… it just doesn’t feel right.
Each day I’m going to report my excitement level and my progress on my personal growth and development. Today my excitement level is a 10.

Px, As long as I have known you…you have been a man of passion and conviction. It took courage to post what you just did as I know that you and vulnerability have been strangers in the past (smile). It is good to see you this way and I know, with every fiber of my being…that you will meet this new challenge. You CAN do it, you always have.
