My Story
Years ago, my career began in the finance and banking industry. It was there I gained an appreciation for money, finance and investing. But there was just something about working day in and day out from 9am – 5pm that frustrated me. I knew my pay was never going to increase until the next guy above me retired, got fired, or split. And I knew that wouldn't happen for a while.
I kept thinking and asking myself, “There has to be a better way!!” Working a salaried job, I knew that no matter how hard I worked my progress towards my desire for financial freedom was totally dependent on someone else's decision, despite my success and competency.
In college i'd seek advice from as many people as I could, and their answers were always the same. “That's just how it is.” They seemed to be stuck in the cultural mindset that you should “go to school, get a good education, so you can get a good job.” I just didn't like that idea and the time it would take to get there!
In my first couple years in the finance industry, I was working full time going to college. It was then I realized the power of passive income, and generating money on the side with little to no effort. I began learning about real estate through occasional visits to the book store and reading up on wealth and financial freedom. I made the decision to buy a house and rent out the other rooms to my buddies. Why not? I made decent money for a college student, and hey, their rent would cover my mortgage payment and then some!
I bought the house, lived in it for 3-4 years, rented it out to my friends while they paid down my mortgage for me. I soon moved out, got married, and sold it when the market was performing well. After only a few years and not much work, my net gain was around $35k. Not bad for a little work!
It was then that I began my extensive self study and research on how to create passive income, how to build a successful investment portfolio, and ultimately how to improve my financial situation to be in complete control of my future. I also began reading up on investments and compound interest, and how the wealthiest people in the world created their nest. Real Estate is just one example of how passive income can be created, and here you will learn many more.
This is just one example of how I have learned the ins and outs of creating passive income, investing in stocks, and building my own business. I continue to consistently use my entrepreneurial mindset and love learning and growing.
I don't claim to say any of my ideas are “get rich quick” strategies, as most of those are scams anyways. The truth is, if you're willing to work hard, follow proven strategies, and stay consistent, it's only a matter of time before you're in complete control financially.
Life shouldn't just be about working to live. It should be about doing what you most love, being with those you love, and learning and exploring the world around you while helping and sharing your knowledge with others! Often times the stresses a 9-5 job and the pressures of your boss will cloud the reasons of why we are here, and numb us to the great things going on around us.
Despite what your reason is for wanting to create your abundant lifestyle, I can PROMISE you that you will gain great insights and ideas to help you reach your desired net worth as you keep an open mindset and feed that entrepreneurial mind we all have within us.
Why I Want To Help People
I do my best to live my life in gratitude. Since I have been given much, I want to show as many people as I can what I know. From firsthand experience I have seen both failure and success, and I want to show others what I know and have learned.
I am committed to helping as many people as I can through giving of my time, money and resources to those in need. I sincerely hope I can be of help to many of you!
