I remember saying to coworkers in my cabinet shop that I want to retire by 40 yrs of age, I was about 26 years old at the time. I didn’t know how I would get there, but I did want to retire by 40. The big reason I wanted to retire is because I hated my job. I’m 37 now and I actually can retire by 40 years of age. That is an amazing feat, and I am very proud of myself for what I have accomplished.

But, I have to tell you how many obstacles I have come across getting to where I am. From switching careers, to get laid off every 6 months (because of dotcom crash), to learning new software, pay per click marketing, search engine marketing and learning real estate investing. It has been a crazy ride, but I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

The amount I have learned about life and myself in the last 8.5 years is incredible to me. I am the person I was meant to be now. When I was working as a cabinet maker, I knew there was more out there, instead of the 9-5 daily grind in a low paying job.

I thank myself, my family and the law of attraction for giving me what I want. I wrote down my goals and they gravitated towards me like a magnet.I always looked ahead and I saw the big picture. You can do what you want, just believe in yourself….
