When I Fired My Boss, approximately 21 months ago, my first thought was on my immediate financial future. I was elated and overwhelmed with the fact that I had acheived my 2 year goal of replacing my income through investing. The strategies I learnt through the DVD with Jamie McIntyre certainly started me off and gave me the urgency to take immediate action. The one strategy that really stood out was: Renting Shares.
Renting Shares like a Sharelord
My first strategy was to be Renting Shares, just like a Sharelord. I’ll explain the term in the next post. Back to the story. I had quit my job. The pressure was now on. I had given up my JOB (Just Over Broke) and now had to step up to the plate. Everyone was watching. At least that was how it felt. One month into the job (or should I say: out of the job), I had nearly doubled my income again. I made over $18,000 in my first month as an unemployed bum! Look up the word happy in a dictionary and there was a picture of me! Smiling!
180% increase in 30 days
What had taken me 23 months to acheive (doubling my income by learning to invest), I had nearly acheived in 30 days once the shackles where off. I wanted to learn to be rich and in the process I had to develop a millionaire mindset. My mentor, Jamie McIntyre certainly had shown me how to do this. Putting it into action isn’t neccessarily all that easy, though. To create wealth you need another skill that takes a bit of time to aquire:
Emotional Intelligence is the key
What on earth is this, you may ask? Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manage a synergy of skills, such as money management when investing in the stock market or making decisions without emotional attachment. A good investor knows that emotions must stay out of the decision process. Investing is 10% strategy and 90% mindset. More about Emotional Intelligence later.
Financial Freedom isn’t far away
A few month later I had trippled my old daytime income. Needless to say, the pressure was off pretty quick. Financial Freedom is a now lot closer now than I ever hoped. I certainly have a lot to thank 21st Century Academy for. My mentor Jamie McIntyre has taught me a lot more than I ever expected. To think that I nearly didn’t even order his free DVD or read his ebook. I suppose, I wouldn’t have known any better if I hadn’t. The thought still scares me though.
To Your Continued Financial Success
