After some long conversations with my wife, as well as some long thoughts and prayers, I have decide to change the focus of this blog to incorporate the direction that my business, and therefore my brand, is going.  I will be working for the next several months exclusively on passive income generation (aside from my day job, which I love!).  This will include things like niche sites, authority sites, affiliate marketing, product sales, and many other kinds of passive income.

The why behind the change

While there are many reasons behind this change in direction for matthewrpritchett.com, the main reasons is that my wife and I would like to travel more and get out of debt quicker.  We are firm believers in getting out of debt and staying that way. We don’t use credit cards, pay cash for cars, and would like to pay cash for our first home.  With all this in mind, we have a long way to go before achieving all of that.  So we are looking to diversify our income streams and really create a better future for both ourselves and our children.

Things we will be talking about

We will be talking about how we are progressing a lot in the coming days.  You will probably see some posts from Cindi, my wife, in the coming days as she seeks to share her side of this new journey we are embarking upon.  We also hope to share our travels, as they begin to occur.  One big dream that we have is to travel all the way around the world stopping in such cities as London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Frankfurt, Venice, Bangkok,  Sydney, and somewhere in Fiji.  The tickets we have been pricing start around $4000, and we would need two.  But we also are committed to getting out of debt and building at least 6 months savings before we start spending money on wants and travelling.

What about you?  What are your goals financially and in the business world this year?  Know any good deals on around-the-world flights?
