Who knows what you'll learn in the program that soul help you in your business. 

There's a lot of shiny objects out there now that are luring people to ditch their 9-5 to become their own boss and find a lifestyle design model that they enjoy more than the one they're stuck in.Hey Odie, I’m not a lifestyle speaker so I can’t speak to that area.I’m someone that got fired from his corporate job in 2004 and have been self-employed ever since.I’ve had countless businesses that have failed 1) Safe and Sound pet care biz 2) Mobile Home King 3) Why Go Solo (tech company…what was I thinking) 4) Toolkit for Success 5) Note partnership (still love the lady I did this with) 6) Wallpix.I learned to take large amounts of stress and plow through the valley (as the bible touches on).3 businesses worked for me: Government Contracting, Landlording, and Note Investing…ALL THREE STILL PAY MORE MONTHLY.I attribute much of the success to the fact that I learned to be a business owner whereby I treated every endeavor like my next meal depended on it.Thinking about it now, I don’t recommend my course for anyone as there was a lot of pressure, soul searching, and lessons learned.On your topic, I think people should consider being more valuable to their employer to elevate their standing at work while building a side business.For me its about maximizing the number of income streams versus replacing one.The key to success (in my little mind) is to focus on building a business out of any venture you take on.I see a lot of failure because folks dabble versus assemble a business plan that they work daily.

Some of us try to save as many souls as we can, but it seems like everyone has to learn his/her own lesson unfortunately. 

I know this a lengthy post and I hope some brave souls muddled through what my teachers have told my individual way of telling things.

I managed to buy 12 homes with cash in 4-5 years as my full time job & don’t owe a soul.

That rant has made us all dumber, you are awarded no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

"Mentor" in real estate or business seems about as charged as "Soul Mate" in dating - it's a big word that implies a lot of responsibility and can scare people off if used too early (or even at all).What I usually recommend instead is that people just network with other investors of all levels, meeting beginning and more experienced investors one on one for coffee/tea/whatever, and maybe forming a small group of people about the same level to help each other, called a mastermind group.

• If you’re thinking about becoming an investor but need the sale proceeds to use for investing, you could always do a cash-out refi or a HELOC instead of selling.So, the answer to your question starts with soul-searching on your part to determine your goal.  

I would hate to see this poor soul go without basics.Seriously, I'm all for free healthcare as long as they give up all their comforts.

Ultimately complaining is the cancer of the soul.
