Who Is Rich Niccolls?

If you want to know more about me, then just read through the blog.  I’ve been working on a series for several months now about the “Joy In the Journey.” That will begin to tell me story.  But, here is a brief overview for those who don’t want to ready every blog post:

• Living with my wife and 3 kids in the Dallas, Texas area.
• I’ve been working from home full-time since August, 2004.
• I’m a Christian and try to have that faith prevail in everything I do.
• I’m all about sports, both playing and watching.
• I’m not one who likes to play follow-the-leader. I would rather go down the road less traveled or create my own path.
• I enjoy a good pile of meat, along with some cheese, BBQ sauce, and a tall Mt. Dew.

Most of all, I like the story or analogy of how a pilot who is navigating his jet from one city to the next is constantly having to make course corrections in order to reach his destination.  I find that to be very true in my life. I need to make course corrections as the Holy Spirit leads, as I evaluate my life and business, and as I seek to lead and journey with my family through this life.

If I was on an island, I wouldn’t really care if I had a computer or not.  I enjoy computers and I make my living by using one, but I wouldn’t mind a more simple life. I would, however, like to have my family with me, my collection of Rich Mullins CD’s, about a dozen good books (like my Bible, some John Grisham, Andy Stanley, and maybe a Harry Potter book or two), and a few other things.

But, I’m not an island… so I must keep moving foward.

My goal from here is to move toward investing in real estate. My online affiliate work will only last so long. I’m not that naive.  I want to invest in single family homes and apartments and move away from my reliance on the internet. I want the freedom to travel on mission trips, longer vacations, to be able to give more, live more and be more of the man that God wants me to be.

I also wouldn’t mind spending a little more time fishing so I could catch another pike like this one, land my first 10 pound bass, shoot a round of golf under 90, buy my wife more nice things, go back to East Africa, and drive my 66 Mustang again.

I have a good life.  Not perfect by any means, but a good life.

Such is the journey.
