WOW~ This book is AWESOME! I wish that I would have read it 10 years ago! The hardest thing that I am going to have to over come is the fear that people are going to judge me by our house and our cars! It doesn't bother me to down size at ALL! It just bothers me that people judge others by their so called "assets". Zane and I are on a mission to retire way before most people our age!
So far there are two statements in this book that just made me realize that I am doing the right thing by starting my own business! 1) The fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their financial problems. 2) A job is only a short-term solution to a long-term problem. When people look at my business and tell me that they are not interested it just blows my mind! To me they are basically saying..."I love my job and I want to work forever" or "I have all the time in the world to worry about retirement" or "I don't have time to work a part time business because I would rather watch TV when I get home from work"
Maybe this is the coach coming out in me....but I just don't get people's way of thinking sometimes! Why are we helping others reach their financial goals? When did we stop dreaming financially? Why do we think that our jobs are always going to be there? Retirement...will there be such a thing 30 years from now! I just want people to look at their next pay check and ask themselves...."Is this all I am worth?"

- I am so thankful for the wonderful family that God has allowed me to have! Zane and I met in Lubbock at SAM'S CLUB! We dated for a year and then we were engaged for a year! We married on June 21, 2003. Our oldest son, Corbin, was born on June 27, 2006, and our newest addition to the family was born on June 13, 2008. SERIOUSLY, DO YOU THINK WE CAN ADD SOME MORE EVENTS IN JUNE!
