Lifetime residual income is a passion of mine that began back in the winter of 2001, and led to my eventual pursuit of a home based business.
At that time I was a real estate agent, a career I choose because I thought it would offer me more freedom by not having to report to an employer. Instead, I worked when everyone else didn’t.
The broker owner of the real estate office could sense my entrepreneurial spirit, and being an avid believer in self help improvement, loaned me one of his books “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” by Robert Kiyosaki.
I read it on a plane ride home from my in-laws Thanksgiving weekend, and then made my husband read it. From that moment forward we could think of nothing else but getting into the “B” and “I” quadrants (If you’ve ever read the book, you know what I mean. If not, more blogs on this in the future.).
It set us on a path of independence, risk-taking, growth and personal professional development that I could never have imagined. It quite literally changed my husband and my lives.
While there have been many bumps along the road and lessons to learn, and while we’re still not at the ultimate goal of financial freedom, we know we’re not far off. And at least every day we’re doing one thing to put us one step closer to our goals.
I’ll always be grateful to the owner of that real estate office for giving me the book. Is there a book or person that changed your life, do tell?
