How do you answer that question? There must be many answers that you have. This is not a question to get into your personal life about your
spouse or partner…or with your kids…or with your family members…or with your neighbors or friends…that is absolutely your personal
business and I will not go there. What I am asking you is a fundamental basic question about how your BUSINESS and INCOME LIFE is proceeding.
Are You Happy With Your Business and Income life?
I am writing to connect in this blog with those who can usually earn $30,000 to $100,000+ when they have the opportunity. And I qualify this by saying “usually earn” because these are not usual times. Our economy and country are upside down in my humble opinion…and we have nothing that even resembles “usual opportunity”. I am sure that Jack and George and Sue and Kim and Robert will not all say yes to the question “I am happy” with my business life. More than likely all of these are thinking of some ways to do something about it.
And with that backdrop…let me get to my points about “Are You Happy In Your Business Life?”
My first question to you is…”are you (and your spouse or partner) earning enough income to set aside all of the pieces of money” that 1) buys the groceries, 2) pays the mortgage or rent, 3) pays the utility bills, 4) pays for all the protection risks that you have, 5) pays for the automobile(s), 6 ) buys the gas at whatever prices the Far East decides you should pay…(seems to me that we should have a major say in what we pay), 6) pays for your kids education now or sets aside money for future education (if you should be fortunate enough to have any), 7) allows for your family vacations, 8) provides for personal and family nights out to enjoy life, and most importantly 9) you have a cash reserve of 3-6 months of necessary expenses…most people have a hard time with this one…it is so important to financial independence.
If you cannot answer yes to all of the above questions. and your answers concern you, then you really need to consider effective options as to how you can “be happy with your answers”.
We have so many millions of people that are in need of the “American Dream” solutions that we once knew…then I ask you personally and individually to get in contact with me to talk about your future. I have tremendous respect for our veterans and those who have given so much of themselves for our country. It would really be wonderful to hear from any of you.
