I've always lived a very fast life. From childhood something from inside always pushed me into the FAST TRACK. Although I was above average in many areas, I made up for the difference through my determined spirit, will to succeed and sheer tenacity. I was an early graduate and an over achiever, a lable I was very comfortable with...

My mantra is "You can have anything you want. You just need to be willing to pay the price. Everything is possible." 

In my mid twenties things would change. I would be confronted with a life threatening illness that would move me from "most promising" to "barely surviving". Learning to let go and living each day one at a time was a new challenge and a new obsession. Planning for tomorrow wasn't even an option.

My thirties would be spent paying off major medical bills. I was emotionally, spiritually and financially responsible, but this left me with very little to show for all that I had gone through. Paying off Medical bills responsibly and clothing myself through the local Salvation army outlet's isnt a signature of success, but allowed me the dignity of owning an awesome credit report---something not readily seen.

Living with "illness" and living with fear became my excuse  of why I never achieved what should have been achieved by my mid to late thirties. Planning for a future full of abundance , or at least a retirement, was not a possibility considering that I could barely provide for each day. Those difficult days, gave me skills that would benefit me later.

I am now in my early 40's. My medical bills are paid in full. The money I would be spending towards paying off medical bills is now being applied towards investing in me and my future. Although being able to save is a good thing... learning how to invest is even better, since it means you BELIEVE in life.

I have NO EXCUSES and NO REGRETS... Although I have had no exposure to money, finance and business...it is now time to teach myself what my family and friends did not understand and could not help me with. I only have myself  to blame if I dont achieve what I know I am capable.

My first step began back in December of 2006. Through the help of books written for "DUMMIES" and the "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" series, my walk began with the first step of setting up an IRA for a life I thought would never be.

This is HUGE, since it means that despite of illness I acknowledge a future... and am willing to invest in an imperfect life.

ALthough my life took a detour in the 20's and 30's...to learn lessons about my Soul and Spirit. I am now back on track to OWNING WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE.

Finance and Investing are my next steps into owning what is rightfully mine. Although I am limited in my understanding today (concerning money and business) this is changing rapidly. As I study, read, plan and make goals that coincide with my desires my VISION is clear. Its just a matter of time.
