Hey Kokomo

Firstly, thanks for your interest in the site, contact me in June and hopefully I will have enough knowledge to help you as you learn too so maybe we can start creating the site sooner.

As for the comment about trade and such, I do have a plan, I'm just not sharing it all here because that would take far too long. Also, not sure if you understood parts of this post, I don't want financial success. I just want enough to survive, not even to prosper yet, because I want the world to prosper with me. Financial success nowadays means financial downfalls of others which leads to all of the world's problems, the symptoms of the monetary system.

As for reading self dev books- I do occasionally, although I find lectures and more up to date articles online, much more interesting and rich in content. At the moment I'm reading "How to gain friends and influence people" and already like you said and as suggested in the preface to the book, I'm making notes and even highlighting certain parts of the book and going over them again before I read on.

In regards to your last comment, I agree with you that we should always take some time from the day to leave work but I believe that entertainment that let's us escape reality is perfectly fine as long as we know that the game is just a game. I self-reflect and meditate as part of a daily routine too and agree everyone should do the same :P

Thanks for commenting bro :D

Being driven to your goals is good, but we are not machines. We can't keep working non stop like 24 hours. It is important that you take some time from the day and pull yourself outside and go for a walk with nature, and just reflect on life. I feel so many of us are just thirsting for those moments of self reflection, but we are starving ourselves more by living in this fabricated twisted escape reality of games, tv shows, movies, and stuff, which is good and all, but just don't lose your touch with the world.

I highly recommend reading self development books in your spare time instead of playing video games. Read books like Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins, and Eckhart Tolle power of now. Become aware of what is more important and most valuable for you at this present moment and draw your energy to working on completing those desired tasks. Understand your values. 

When I am reading a very good self development book the information is very extensive, so it is good idea to read just like one chapter and take some time to think over the principals and then read some more. Anyways success starts at your home. Become more self aware, and don't rush reading through a whole book. Try and squeeze and gain as much information possible in small chunks, so it stays with you longer.

Hey Tom

I want to work with you with a creation of this website. I have a great idea, but I don't have the technical skills required to start website, but I think I will work on them after school finishes. Got 4 months to learn. If I am focused I can learn everything in 1 month, and then another month I can figure out how to create website and learn more programming. At the end of June I will contact you again if you are interested in working with me in the creation of a website like no other... 

Gives us July and August to work on the website. Completely free website. I am not thinking about it in terms of profit, but more in terms of a learning experience as of now. 

-As for having no trades, no skills, no access to education, this is what I suggest. Save your money and make smart investments by putting your money into things you see will be profitable for you in the future. Have like a destined amount of money you want to make by a certain deadline and save your money, watch your spending, and give up on some fun for now, so you can have success in the future. The way of financial success is complex, so I suggest reading books, modelling other people, and just improving on your business knowledge. Once you have desired amount of money you will be able to go to university, but remember to pick a career path that is going to benefit you realistically in the future. Don't waste your time and money on career path, which has no benefit. I suggest if you like something with a passion, but it is not profitable then keep it as a hobby unless your willing to risk it all and love that passion to the bottom of your heart.

@Maikel

How far in and how long for? xD I don't have time to listen to that when I'm trying to watch the TROM documentaries and TED lectures and the defining peace lectures by Peter Joseph (the zeitgeist movement founder)

@kokomo

I don't really see how a timeline could help or exist with these goals, especially considering the current "job market" for someone my age (20) in the UK with no trade skills, no access to education (I'd need to quit work to be able to attend but then I couldn't afford the fees) and no higher education access (no access to state financial aid for reasons outlined in previous posts)

With learning web design, basically I'll learn as fast as possible and then learn to create timelines in which I work out how long it should take me to create websites or content.

With getting into university, it's either find some sort of loophole in the legislation that decide who gets financial aid, legally disown my parents to become legally independent, wait until I'm 25 (legally independent) or once I move out find a way to convince the government that I am independent if not yet legally.

I tried the link but the podcast I move to seems to be some strange discussion by some people who use natural drugs to enhance themselves...

here is an interesting podcast with the "leader"of the zeitgeist movement wich gives a really detailed  view on what the movement is about.

I suggest you check out unlimited power by Tony Robbins. It is good you have written down these goals, but you have to create a time line
