Hey, everyone!

I'm Craig, an entrepreneur & consultant living in Vancouver, Canada.

I found TMF last night while reading a comment on a blog post by the Tropical MBA.

I woke up this morning, as per usual at 5:30 am to head into my consulting contract.

As I walked out the door, my 5-year-old son stopped me to ask;

"Dad! When are we going to build that Lego monster? You said you would a couple of days ago but you are so busy."

I told him we would try tonight after I got home and he said ok and have a great day dad.

I got into the car and started my hour long journey to my client's office and all I could think about was my son saying: but dad, you said you would a couple of days ago but you are so busy."

It hurt my heart so much and even got angry as to how much time my consulting work takes me away from my 3 kids and wife.

This is my WHY.


Why I want to create financial freedom and time to enjoy it. I don't want a Lamborghini or flashy million dollar lifestyle.

I want more time to play Lego with my kids. It's simple but highly motivating and why I'm here.

I started listing to TMF on Audible this morning and ready to learn new ideas, make some needed changes to crack the wealth code.

I'm an online entrepreneur and blog about it here. I've started several side hustles and read like a madman all working to create wealth. I'm having some success but are just not quite there in replacing my 6 figure consulting income.

I'm hoping to learn new knowledge, share my learnings and want to help others reach their goals too.

Have a question, need help or want to work together, please reach out.

Looking forward to learning more and meeting other entrepreneurs hustling to meet their life goals.

Cheers

Craig
