“I am new to the group and am struggling a bit to understand the language and essential skills. Could you tell me more about what you do and where I would use it?” Yes that is an email I received a few days ago. At first I let it go but as with most things I started thinking about it day later One of the weirdest conversations I have is when someone asks me what I do for a living. I could be at a party or at the mall or even just having dinner somewhere. Personally I don’t like too many people knowing what I do. When I do I get cornered and grilled about how they could improve or what I can teach them in the next 5 minutes. I have a pretty good life and it is all because of these skills. I honestly have the life that other people dream about. My friends are insanely jealous. They are stuck in the daily grind. Up at 6 am only to drag themselves to their car for a 45 minute drive, is traffic is light, into work. Then they work until 5 or 6 only to drag themselves back into their car for another 45 minute slow speed race home. They collapse on their couch. Then when the weekend finally gets there…they have to do all the stuff they did not have time to do all week Then they start all over again on Monday! My life is quite different. I can work from anywhere. I get up and listen to the traffic report from my back porch while having my morning coffee. I work out then commute to my office  that is ten feet away and work a few hours. Then I do what I want. Later in the day I do a few more hours work. If I want to go somewhere or do something I just do it. For instance today I am going to get my ski boat and jet ski ready to put into the water. Later this summer I will use them in the middle of the day while my friends are stuck in some cubical having fluorescent lights sucking the life out of them. My problem is finding other people to have fun with.  My friends are all busy chasing the dream while I am living it! Here is the funny part. I try to show them how they can live the way I did BUT THEY JUST DON’T LISTEN! They are so stuck in what they have been told is the IDEAL life that they can’t get their head around it. I began to think about it. I live the lifestyle of someone who has MILLIONS of dollars on the bank. There are people out there who spend 40 years doing the daily grind to save up enough money to “retire’ on. Then they are too old to really enjoy it! Look…you can live this way to. How? Use the skills that we teach in your everyday life. Read More→
