Is your day job killing you financially?

Got you stuck treading water…?

If you find yourself swimming in this swimming pool, you're in with quite a large school of fish.

“The trouble is my outgo (expenses) is more than my incoming salary,” Jerry says. His emotion totally nails it. Summing it up in a recent email: I’m supporting a wife and kids at home, a new grand child I didn’t expect it. My daughter has moved in with us. I’m supporting their dog as well…”
As a dog lover I want to do more than empathize. And not stop there.

“At first it was fine,” Jerry admits, “The job allowed me to get to where I was getting to.”

Where did the dream go?
Where Jerry was getting to was the dream; we all have it-- investment in a home, a family, to gain some stability. Over time Jerry’s heavy mortgage and pressures of a growing family are busting Jerry out into the garage and spilling out into his driveway. Expenses mount. His pay check shrinks. So what’s the option? Another job? Jerry’s predicament anything but new…


Stumbling toward brave new reality
What you'ld love me to say in this blog post is how it all made sense then. Jerry hopped on board. How I so wanted it to be that way for Jerry. But it just didn't happen like that friends.

What Jerry did is take the first step like many do to fix what was bothering him. He opted out not for another job but to truly fix the source of the problem keeping him awake at night.

What was sadder later was how Jerry allowed himself to get stuck.

What he realized was a mathematical certainty How he was spending time every day at his 40 hour a week job is killing his finances, putting Jerry in a hole financially falling behind. What he decided was to put off the next step.

What happened?


Can you really afford to work your job?
We got down to brass tacks. Rolled up our sleeves together to the first point of any real power toward change--Jerry’s mind. Wrapped up in a practical first step was how much time and money Jerry had to work with. We were on the path to power, After what can truly change his reality forever. And forever is still a long time.

“I want to have more control over my life…to be able to do my own thing, and call my own shots. His reason for doing a business.

Jerry must have been on the right track. No sooner were his words out of his mouth then the seeds of doubt came drifting as they always do to settle in beside the very thing Jerry wants.

Procrastination set up stakes in Jerry's fish pond. Seeds of doubt took root. Jerry jumped from the boat.

If you want to be rich(er), learn to build and succeed in home business. says Donald Trump and in order to do that you'll have to keep yourself in the game.

The road to riches is a foot path. Not a superhighway. The path is unfortunately still used by so few. The best thing you can do for your job is learn someday how you would be able to leave it.

According to Robert Kiyosaki the best way for you is to Build yourself an asset like a business. An asset is something that will continue to pay, something a job just cannot do.

Procrastination and lack of action are the number one killer for any business.

So what if you stumble, get back in the boat
Procrastination and lack of action are the number one killer in any business.If you want things to be different you have to be different. The important thing is that you're moving forward. When you move closer to what it is you want you have options that many others don't have.

You can't get there from here....

What makes this time different?

You've been here before at this feeling. At this same dull ache.

You want to have more of that Financial Freedom. The ability to call your own shots.

What that is for each one of us might be slightly different but the feeling is always the same: its a bit of a vague feeling that comes on after lunch at the office. It tells us we want to really be doing something else. A tiny bit of upset. Like a sinus infection--it's a while before you realize that cold's turned into a chronic dull ache.

You said, "I really want to do something different in my life. Meaningful, you know?"

Have that horse farm, run a catering company, you say, heck, I just want to do my own thing....make some decent money, have a business, have some change.

Why, when we think about doing what it is we love, why does it sometimes feel bad? Why does connecting with the freedom we want and deserve, make us scared or what we long for---like we have to run for cover in an opposite direction?

What I'm talking about is that same indescribable feeling that gets lost somewhere on the way going back to the office. And horses? With that gigantic pile of email to sort through, forget it. Horses are for other luckier people. A dream feels so far away.

Gulping down another cup of coffee works a good distraction. Somehow liquid turns to ether You're not sure where your mind it is today but you know where it is not and it is certainly not at work.

It's the tiny choices we make every day that end up defining our experiences.

We've decided to put off our choices until tomorrow, until, the fall, until next year, until by 5 o'clock on the drive home you've hedged your bets. Carved out your niche.

You've changed your mind again. You settled down on the things you can control for the afternoon. Your job. Sitting at your desk. It's really not so bad. It works for now. For a little while. You can get though that pile make your dent. Control your piece of the dent. After all, nothing is perfect you say.


Your little piece. In your next twenty minutes. If life is a series of lost chances and stolen moments what we do with them is important and can change things.

It's not always the tramatic things in life that create long term meaningful change. It's not win, loose, all or nothing but a slow gradual change and commitment to ourselves that changes our experience. What we really end up having in life.

If you want to have different you need to do different.

Learn how to take that first step toward financial freedom.

You don't have to be a brain surgeon. A rocket scientist, someone with tons of money and loads of fabulous education. What you need to begin with is desire in your heart a willingness to move forward. To to keep moving forward.

If you've never thought you could do a business but always wanted to. If you've always wanted to do your own thing but weren't really certain how to start, or what do do, or if you don''t know what is available, you've come to the best place to start.
