As a fire fighter for 20 years, the thing I loved most about the job was helping people. Whether it was a "routine" medical emergency or a full blown structure fire, I enjoyed coming to the aid of my fellow human beings and helping with whatever their problem was at that time. I worked with some of the very best people that the world has to offer. The downside, was as a fire fighter, we spend 24 to 48 hours away from home. We work birthdays, holidays, family functions, etc. and I wanted to be home all the time and not miss anymore of my children's lives. So after 20 years, I retired. I feel very fortunate to have been able to fulfill my childhood dream.
Even though I am no longer a fire fighter I can continue to help people in other ways. By offering solutions to help people reach their goals and dreams that they thought they could never achieve, I can continue my service to humanity. If you find this of interest, I invite you to read on. If not, I thank you for your time and visiting my blog and I wish you a successful and prosperous life.
Before we go any further, I want to ask you some simple questions. What is it that you want out of life and how are you going to get there? Are you a working professional...doctor, lawyer, nurse, realtor, broker, etc., that makes a comfortable income, but you never seem to have the time to do the things you want? Are you in the service industry...hair stylist, salon owner, massage therapist, esthetician, personal trainer, etc., and you would like to find a way to replace your income and duplicate yourself so you aren't booked sun up to sundown? Are you a stay at home mom that wants to be there to raise your kids so they aren't raised by a stranger in a day care and would like a way to make some extra money to help with the household expenses? How are you going to get those things in life that you want? Will you be able to get where you want in the future continuing on your current path? What is your plan B and what is your exit strategy? Take a look at your parents and the parents of the people that you grew up with. Are they wealthy? Are they still working into their 60's, 70's, and 80's? If you don't want this to be you then you MUST do something different. As you will see in the video below, The Truth About Your Health And Wealth, 95% of Americans age 65 are either dead, broke, or still working. Financial literacy is not taught in schools or colleges and the old system of going to school, getting a job, and paying bills does not cut it! You will never make it working for someone else! The vast majority of the wealth in this country is held by business owners. Maybe it's time you start looking at a home based business and building a network of consumption and distribution.
I challenge you to explore new opportunities and educate yourself in the world of financial literacy. There are many resources out there and I have listed a few of my favorite books below. By keeping an open mind you will find new ways of reaching your goals and will grow personally as well. Stop saying "I can't afford it!" and start saying "How can I afford it?" If you don't empower yourself, someone will have power over you!
In closing, you may be asking yourself why my blog is titled the accelerated game of life? This is a business that will allow you to work hard, one time, be done, and go on living your life. It may take you 5 years or 10 years. That is solely up to you and how hard you work. Will your current job allow to walk away in 10 years with enough recurring income to retire on? If the answer is no, you owe it to yourself to look into this opportunity further.
Thank you!
Jerry Gomez
