Hello guys,
MJ, you are the man. I knew about you from the rich dad forum back in 2005; Your story inspired me, although I have not achieve the dream of financial independce, I strive for it day after day. Well alittle about me, I work at a day job which I "hate." I'm over- work and underpaid and underapprceiated. It's like no matter how hard I try, my boss always gets on my case. I can never do anything right. But nontheless, the income is okay.. Good enough to pay the bills, and afte the bills, I have some money left over for my online business. Well, I wanted to ask you guys who have reached the goal of being out of the rat race and freed from the corporate world this question: "What were some of the sacrfice you had to make to get to where you are at? The reason I asked that is because right now, I am at a cross road. My girl wants us to take a trip to Italy for a week vacation... I on the other hand, although I want to go, I just don't think that taking a trip out now to Italy is a smart decision especially, blowing the earned income that I worked blood and tears for. I would rather use that money and put it back into my business, but she doesnt seem to understand. When I tried to explain to her how I am close to making this business workout, she tells me"that is what you have being saying for the last year and half... She is loosing believe in me. Right now although the business generates some revenue, it is still not that strong enough for me to leave my day job. At this time, I am just thinking about kicking her to the curb, and letting her go, but she has stood by me for some time now. So what were some of the sacrifice that you guys had to make where you knew that if you didn't make those sacrifce it would have killed or slow down being able to achieve and obtain financial freedom. Honestly I really want to let her go because she and I think opposite. She doesn't understand the value of a dollar or what it means to delay gratification. For her, it's all about live for today. But she has stood beside me now for some time and she is a smoking hot... If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you take the trip to Italy, knowing that it can slow down the business you are trying to build, but eventually please your love one? Or would you just let her go and focus on the business.... I am curious to know your opinions. Thanks...
