the matthew Z project

cute Packer's fans

Hi, I’m matthew Z.  Nothing special about me.  I have a beautiful wife, Melisa, and two wonderful daughters named Lauren and Lindsay.  That is Lauren in the picture with me.  As you can tell we’re Greenbay Packer’s fanatics.  Although she didn’t have a choice, she’s embraced it well! We live in small town USA, average to say the least.  Melisa is a stay at home mother (more than full time) and I am a blue collar, drive 20 minutes each way, wannabe middle manager who is looking for that “Ah-ha!” moment.  Sadly I’ll tell you I haven’t found it yet. But I will keep you posted.

What do I hope to achieve over the next year? I’d like to offer anything that I feel will help anyone better themselves.  I’ll try to give better ideas, better gadget advice, better strategies for happiness, just anything better! I want to help better you, and perhaps in doing that I will help better myself.

First off…health.  Anything I find that may make you (and I) healthier, I’ll share.  Hopefully this won’t be as painful as I think. Health and Happiness…happiness and health. I may be on to something.

Secondly…wealth.  This can be approached in so many ways.  This one I will only offer opinions and self examples, but will in no way try to sell you anything, or offer get rich quick schemes.  I WON’T! Correcting financial issues, especially in our rat race, instantaneous click here to fix, lifes, it will take time.  So be patient and disciplined.  Good things come to those who stick to the key values outlined and don’t let bad situations change them.  Don’t let financial hard-times alter your goal or strategy.  Doing so will only make things worse.  In our debt = money environments, it’s often good to go back to the basics.  We’ll touch on this more later.

 I think lastly I would like to help you (and I) create an environment of happiness.  With friends, family, and perhaps even co-workers.  I want to be happier and I want you to be happier  (please note I am currently happy with the exception of worrying about material bull-malarky - bills, bills, bills, job security, bills, and normal fatherly responsibilities). I want to be free and clear of negative thoughts and feelings and I want you this for you too.  Positive things happen to positive thinkers (thanks Mom), so off I go! This is going to be a fun, long, and genuine ride.

I hope you’ll enjoy the journey I have ahead.  Feel free to let me know any suggestions you may have.  Thanks for reading. matthew Z
