How hard would you work for the next 3 years, so you can spend the rest of your life doing whatever you want?
I haven’t been writing blogs because I’ve been busy setting up my business. I’m a new UnFranchise owner of Market America. www.MarketAmerica.com/Hoboken
It’s funny – I’ve been asking for praying for guidance for years. It goes something like this – Please help me find a way to become financially free. I don’t want my husband to work himself into the grave. I want us to have the freedom to live life now! I don’t want the ratrace. I want a way to start now! Through a funny series of coincidences I was lead to reread a book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In it – Robert Kiyosake says that network markteting is a way to receive great training from successful people and a way to earn permanent residual income.
Then my old acquaintance’s name Sue kept popping up in my head. I emailed her (actually I facebooked her) for the first time in four years and asked her how she was doing with Market America. She had introduced me to the company four years ago when she started. She replies that she just took the last year off because she’s financially free now, went to Israel for three months, and had a third child.
Well, I told her I wanted in! I had just told Dave that my biggest concerns about having a second child were over money and childcare! Whatever I had to overcome I would overcome! I’m tired of fearing about my financial future. I’m tired of budgeting all the time and still not saving what I “should” be. I’m tired of not having the standard of living that I want! It was tiring enough to juggle work, my daughter, and life. And then at the end of the day – not even having enough money to cover all the things we need to. We have two destination weddings in the next year that I’ve been stressing over ever since we got the save the date!
I set up a meeting with Sue and evaluated the business plan with my husband. Then I really got excited! It was good. I mean it was really good! My gut told me with all the conviction in the world to do it! My gut has only done that on a few occasions – when I signed up for my first Landmark Education course and when I married my husband.
I can feel it. I know this is it. I finally found a clear path that will lead me to my goals of financial freedom. I mean – in 2-3 years I’ll be making $3600/week! It’s a proven business model that worked for Sue – and tens of thousands of other people across the planet!
AND I want to help everyone I love reach that same goal! I think trading time for money is a damn shame. To work and slave 40-50 hours a week till you’re 65 years old. Or to watch my husband do that and work himself into the ground only to get a reprieve on those few holidays and yearly vacations. Screw all that! My husband is so tired when he comes home every night it saddens my heart. I am willing to go for it and work hard for 3 years to free myself from our “probable predictable-certain future.” There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain! And I don’t have to quit tutoring to do it – it’s designed for the part-timer. I have been having no trouble juggling this and work and Mikayla. Some of my family members already cast their skeptical doubt clouds over me. They aren’t listening, but it doesn’t matter. I will show them by doing it myself first. Then I’ll bring them with me!
I am playing this game for my life and everyone I love. I just want to know – “Who’s coming with me!”
I’ve started eating raw food again. I did it last year too when I had more time to cook or rather prepare foods. I easily lost extra weight and kicked caffeine. Last time I had tried to kick caffeine – I was a zombie for a week. This time I felt ok within 2 days. When Dave and I moved back to Hoboken, I started working more and it became difficult for me to prepare the foods. I fell back into eating meat and dairy b/c it was easy to cook and get at local restaurants. The only raw/vegan foods available are at FarmBoy and I didn’t want to eat the same things everyday, so I gave in to pizza and chinese food.
