Back to my story…
I came up for air in early May of 2020 after going down entirely too many different rabbit holes, and when I finally took a breath I decided to go back to what has always fascinated me… making money. I’ve always been insanely driven…maybe a little too driven sometimes, but what frustrated me the most during my brief career in corporate America were the limits that came with a salaried day job.
Salary - a guaranteed amount of income for a specified amount of work. On the surface it sounds great, but what’s hidden underneath are the golden handcuffs that nobody tells you about.
Big corporations will pay you just enough to keep you working for them, but never what you’re truly worth. And if you fall into the trap of keeping up with the Jones’, financing your life to high heaven, and never actually learning how our financial system works, you’ll be a slave to the almighty dollar… FOREVER. And that’s exactly what they want us to be… slaves.
I figured this much out in my early 20’s and thankfully when given the chance, I took the road less traveled. My first venture into the world of entrepreneurship was a side business that I started when I was 23 years old in the network marketing space.
