Make 2017 Amazing & Start Living Your Life On Purpose

Set Your Intentions & Live Your Life On Purpose.

Normal 1483724114 Capture

Have you consistently found yourself making resolutions year after year in hopes that you will stick to a new plan to improve a certain facet of your life?

I have a secret for you…The resolutions are not the problem – the lack of planning and setting clear intentions with attainable goals is the problem – But not to worry, I wouldn’t point out a problem without offering some attainable solutions!

Here are the most common resolutions that people often make:

Stay fit and healthy

Lose weight

Enjoy life to the fullest

Spend less, save more

Spend more time with family and friends

IT’S ABOUT TIME (and strategy)…

The underlying theme in all of these resolutions above is that people feel like they don’t have the time to achieve these things in the life that they currently live. They want to improve things but generally have not set clear intentions or goals on how to actually make that happen.

It’s easy to say I would like to ‘find more time to time to live life to the fullest’ and to ‘spend more time with family’ But without an actual strategy, these plans are never easily achieved.

Having a goal without a plan is just a wish.

TIME IS MONEY (It’s true!)

Whether we want to believe it or not, time is money. We are all given the same amount of hours in a day to live our lives. How do some people manage to do so much more? The reason is because those who seem to get more time and freedom created a plan for a life that would allow them to make more money with less time time invested.

That’s the simple bottom line – That’s the solution: Decrease the time you spend to make the money you need to support the life you want. Let’s repeat that….Decrease the time you spend to make the money you need to support the life you want. Remember this, because we will go over it again. It is the primary key to freedom.

So now that we know that is the solution, I want to tell you the plan to implement the this in your life – But first, let’s look athow I did it mine…

TAKE ME FOR EXAMPLE:

I am a wife, mother, business owner and coach. I have family needs, a home to maintain, kids in sports and activities, I go to the gym, I eat healthy, I travel and I socialize with friends and family.

How do I find the time? Because I have created a real estate business plan that allows for passive income. I earn money in my sleep. I don’t trade my time for dollars.

When I was working my job in finance ( Monday to Friday, 9-5) I was trading my time for dollars – I was only earning money while I was physically working. I wasn’t able to go to the gym during the day, or take a 3 week vacation whenever I wanted to, wasn’t able to drive my kids to school and so many other little things that I felt I was missing out on.

I made great money – but I was limited on time. I found that money was no longer my only motivator. It meant nothing if I didn’t have the freedom to live the life that I wanted.

I was able to pay the bills for house that I was rarely able to relax and enjoy, I was able to afford to put my kids in activities that I wasn’t often there to see, I didn’t have the time to take care of myself or my social relationships. I was always in a rush and felt like I was going in circles. I needed to replace my income and create more time.

LIFE IS SHORT – I WANTED MORE TIME

Real Estate Investing. This is where it all changed for me. I invested in coaching and learned exactly how to invest in properties without using my own money. I know that sounds crazy and unrealistic to those that don’t know about joint ventures – but it’s 100% true. I learned to put deals together, find the properties and pull in the investors – It was a complete win/win for everyone!

Because I invested in the education, I am earning passive income – with no cash out of my pocket AND money partners come to me looking for real estate deals they can invest in.

I started with ONE property, 9 years ago. I now hold over 40 million worth of property investments. This is my new reality. I earn money day after day, in my sleep on these properties. I took the education, I got a mentor, I made a plan and it happened.

It’s not because I am luckier, wealthier or smarter than anyone. This is not a matter of happenstance – this is a matter of me clearly planning what I wanted and taking the steps to get there.

I now take my greatest professional pleasure from helping others create and implement the plans they need to live their lives on purpose.
