Have you wondered if there’s MORE to life?
There is something BIG out there waiting for you or do YOU have something burning inside of you to inspire and make an impact in this world?
That was us, wondering what happened when the US Space Program had its downturn after the Shuttle Program. I did not work directly with the shuttle but I was on of the individuals that supported the power that fed the individual launch pads. Working for the US Space Program had been a dream of mine since watching Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon on a black and white TV in 1969. Shortly after the downturn, the bottom fell out of the housing industry and we were one of the ones that was caught up in the housing bubble. Everything that Donna and I had been taught in life; go to school, get a college degree, and get a good job had just been totally shattered. One tends to ignore the signs and believe that this can never happen to us, but it did. We felt betrayed by everything we had been told for all these years, not to mention the student loan debt. After losing our home to a short sale and having to move, We decided that there had to be something better out there, where we are in control of our life and not someone else.
We read a book be Robert Kyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, it changed our life and the way we thought about money. The book totally opened our minds to new possibilities that we had never imagined. Is it possible for an average person to actually become financially independent and not live paycheck to paycheck? Why, did they not teach us this in college? Come to find out, entrepreneurship is now finally being taught as a elective in some colleges, but when we were in school this was not an option. We began to dive into entrepreneurial books to learn everything that we had never been taught. We read personal development books all the time, we now find the wisdom contained within to be essential to our every day life. A whole new exciting world has been opened up to us!
The world of Entrepreneurship found us while we were searching for an opportunity to control our life. We didn’t know much about it, but what struck us was that we would be paid on performance and not by just trading time for money. We were sick and tired of working paycheck to paycheck, living on the edge of the financial cliff. Lose your job, that’s it. We had allowed someone else determine where we can live in life and at what level. In my personal opinion, that is just another form of slavery, we are all slaves to our jobs.
We learned that we need to shift the paradigm that has been taught for many years, to one that we too can have freedom if we are willing to work for it. Entrepreneurship is the vehicle where anyone, that is willing to work can become free from trading time for money, where one can have more money than time. The road to freedom is not an easy one, but the adventure is well worth the effort. Entrepreneurship takes work, it is not a get rich quick scheme and anyone who tells you this does not know what they are talking about. If it were easy, then everyone would be rich, but life does not work that way.
One of our favorite quotes is “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect” Mark Twain. We look at successful people that are Entrepreneurs, they have lifestyles that are incredible. What is interesting, they have helped many others become free in the process, now that is true freedom! Dare to dream again!

This gives you an insight as to who we are and how we now look at the world. Life is too short to work for someone else for 40 years then retire on 1/2 of what you were making and never experiencing the joy of traveling around the world. Retirement is supposed to to be our “golden years”, but the majority wind up struggling to make it day to day. Spending time with our spouse and kids should be a priority in life. If one looks at it, we spend the majority of our life at the job away from our families, then one wonders why we do not know our kids and our spouses. Dare to dream again, have you even tried to become what you dreamed about as a kid or have you given up on life and resigned yourself to mediocrity? Come with us, let us restore that light that once burned in you……..
