Here is one of the most impactful poems I have ever read. It comes from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It has influenced me for decades. Life has a lot to offer if you have the audacity to claim it.

I bargained with Life for a penny
And Life would pay no more.
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.

Recently, I went as a chaperone for my son’s choir trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. What made this especially significant for me was that I was the only dad that went. I was able to go because of the freedom I enjoy.

I was able to spend quality time with my oldest son at the “happiest place on Earth.” We created memories that will last a lifetime. He is a junior in high school and in just over a year, will begin his adult life. I think this trip will turn out to be one of the most important things that I did this year.

Other parents expressed their regret at not being able to go, citing work related reasons. Some had been laid off, and some were experiencing work loads that did not allow them to take a few days off.

Being able to share quantity time with my boys allows me to experience tons of those priceless gems of memories with them. They are only young once.

Do you have a plan to get your freedom? Or do you just accept it as that’s just the way it is? A home based network marketing business can give you the lifestyle freedom you deserve.

Time change twice a year is one of the few things that really cause people problems. I hear more complaints about adjusting to the time change than any other single thing. Getting shaken up from your routine is a good thing.

Take this change to re-evaluate your situation. Are you doing what you want to be doing? Are you making what you want to be making? When you get in your car tomorrow morning, just as you turn the key in the ignition, ask yourself this, “Is this where I really want to be going, right now?”

Next time you get a paycheck or pay notification, rub the paper between your fingers, hold it up to the light to see if there are any watermarks and ask, “Is this all I’m worth?”

I enjoy what I do and I am in a situation that I determine how much I receive. I give thanks for this every day. It allows me to spend time with my family.

I invite you to join me. Check out DiscoverYourOwnFreedom.com today!

The job market for college seniors is pretty tight. There was an article in the news that talked about how the economy was making the job market for college seniors pretty bleak. Many will decide to return for that graduate degree which in effect is saying, we’ll try again later. Many will take jobs in the food industry just to bring in some money and many will just quit.

What I’m seeing is a group of people who are giving up their power and depending on outside circumstances to decide their fate. Some of those people will realize that they control their lives and will take matters into their own hands.

Starting a network marketing business is something that can be done even before they graduate. They can work 5-10 hours per week to build their business on a part time income. What’s in their favor is that network marketing actually does better when the economy downturns!

As they become successful, their income can continue to grow. Within 5 years of graduation, their residual income can reach a point that they can ‘retire’. Imagine a 5 year career with the rest of their life to do what they want.

This 5 year career is not limited to college students, but is open to anyone who wants to take control of their lives at any age.
