remember it like it was yesterday.  I was sitting on my couch in my tiny one bedroom apartment in New Hampshire that I was about to be kicked out of.  In front of me on my coffee table were a stack of credit card bills totaling over $30,000.00 that I had no way of paying. And outside sat my car that was just a few weeks away from being repossessed.

And for the cherry on top, I owed thousands of dollars more because of a real estate deal I attempted a few months prior failed.

How did I get myself into this mess?

While I sat there writing out all of my bills in a notebook trying to figure out a plan, I nearly lost it. I asked myself…

Why did this keep happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why is everything such a struggle?

You see, over the course of about eight years I bounced around from job-to-job over 30 times.  Yes, thirty times!  I had attempted nearly every business opportunity I could find.  And I had nothing to show for it besides of a pile of unpaid bills, less than $100 to my name, and no job.

This is not where you want to be when you are twenty-four years old.  I had no college education and my job-hopping days were at a stand still because my “resume doctoring” techniques had caught up with me.

I can honestly say that on that very day, I wanted to give up. I wanted to give up on my pursuit of success and freedom. I had worked so hard to try to find a way to have true financial and time freedom and I was left empty handed. I had been cheated.

I wondered why couldn’t I be happy like everyone else I knew working a 9 to 5 job. Why couldn’t I be happy living pay-check-to-paycheck like so many other people in the world have settled with? Why do I keep pushing myself so hard when all I do is end up further and further in the hole?

It was only a few years earlier that I had gotten myself into over $30,000.00 in credit card debt and somehow was able to pay that off over time. (Sticking it out with a job you truly despise, driving 10 year-old cars, and never leaving your house helps pay credit card bills I learned.)

Even though I wanted to give up and find another job where I’d be miserable at, something wouldn’t let me. Even though I truly wanted to give up on this whole “success thing” in my mind… my heart kept pushing me. It told me to keep going and to keep moving forward. I had never felt so trapped in my life - and it was in a world that I alone created for myself.

Everything kept going further and futher downhill for me until I received…  Click here to contine...
