My why....

Posted

Ever since I was younger I have strived for my independence. I began working at 15 to earn some money to buy clothes and food and save up for my first car.

Throughout the years I have worked in sales, customer service, military, dental field... I have never loved a job. I enjoyed them as they were new and challenging at first but then I quickly got bored. I still did not have independence. I slaved away for someone else at a fixed rate.

I recently ran my own fitness coaching business, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was independent. It was all on my terms, I called the shots. I was able to work as much or as little as I wanted, I was able to earn as much or as little money as I wanted. I helped change people's lives for the better. I learned that being an entrepreneur is awesome. I fell in love with the thrill, The hustle, the concept that the limit is sky high. I am passionate about helping others, and I see buying homes to help people get out of financial burdens and fixing them to sell to a family who is looking for the perfect home is helping multiple people at once.

I want to be able to help build a life for our family with my husband. I want us to be financially free. I want to be able to donate money to charities. I want our family to be able to build memories on family vacations, often. I want financial wealth.
