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!

How much money will you need and are you on the right track?
Here are some simple formulas that you can use to determine if you are building wealth and how much money you will need to retire on. You can find more complex and to the penny formulas and calculations, but this will you give you a quick way to see where you are at now.
Your age times your pretax annual household income from all sources minus any inheritances. Divide by ten and this is what your net worth should be now.
40 year old making $70,000/year in annual household income=$2,800,000, divided by 10=$280,000. This is what his net worth should be right now. Most people aren't even close to this figure.
How much money will you need invested and saved to live on in retirement? You will need approximately 25 times your future annual income requirements saved before you retire. That is approximately $2,500,000 for every $100,000 you want to retire on in pre-tax income. Above and beyond any social security or pensions you expect to receive.
As you can see, unless you want to work until you die, you can't get there working for someone else. You need to develop recurring income streams to help you get there. How many part-time jobs can someone work? When will you say enough is enough and stop the insanity and start looking for other solutions to your problems?

Key points about the opportunity
Here are 5 key points that I want to reiterate about the Nu Skin opportunity:
1. Do you have an open mind and are you willing to explore new business opportunities? Without this, it won't be worth your time to explore this any further. Go back to the recommended reading list and read Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book should help open your mind to new possibilities of building wealth.
Once you have done this and you are now primed for exploring the opportunity, define your goals and set a time line for achieving them. What is it that you want? More time to spend with your family and do the things that you want, rather than working all the time? More money for paying off debt? Money to set up a college savings account for your children? Money to set up a retirement account for yourself? Money to purchase a new car? They have to be unique to you and your situation. The goals that I have set for myself aren't necessarily the same goals that you want.
2. What are the market demands and where is the money flowing in the economy? People are always trying to find ways to look and feel younger. With obesity rates continuing to skyrocket in this country, consumers want a solution to their weight management problems. Consumers are already spending hard earned dollars on these issues. Now is the time to position yourself in front of these huge global trends.
3. Are the products unique and can they satisfy the consumer demands? With 30 years and over one billion dollars invested in product development, Nu Skin continues to innovate and bring products to the market place that no other company has. While other companies treat the signs and symptoms of aging, Nu Skin is going to the sources of aging and weight management, your genes. The products that Nu Skin brings to the table are unique and patented and can satisfy the consumer demands and offer solutions. Ask yourself, does a company that has revenue over 3 billion dollars produce products that don't work?
4. Who is your partner? Nu Skin is a 30 year old, multi-billion dollar, publicly traded company. Operating in 53 countries and going by the ticker symbol NUS. While many network marketing companies build their business on hype and false information, you can feel confident that the information and sales figures Nu Skin releases are accurate and transparent. Because they are publicly traded, they are required to comply with the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. I encourage you to find out for yourself. Go to this link and type Nu Skin in the search. There you will find all of the SEC filings.

5. Will this be worth your time, effort, and energy to build this business? Nu Skin's goal is to have the highest paid distributors out of all the network marketing companies. With over 1000 million dollar lifetime earners and making a new millionaire every 4 days, this is definitely something that the average person like yourself can achieve. How can you accomplish this? Nu Skin has a training and mentoring system in place that you can plug into to help you get started and teach you how to become successful in this business. By positioning yourself in front of the growth trends, you can set yourself up for future financial success.
In closing, I ask you to go back to your goals and what is most important to you. Will you get there by continuing to do what you are doing right now? What are the next steps for you? Would you like more information about the technologies so you can fully understand them better? Would you like product recommendations so you can have your own product experience? Would you like to learn how you can start your own business? Feel free to contact me and let me know how I can help. Thank you!
