Leadership and Lifestyle

"Leadership is not personality, title or endowment. Leadership is a price and the price begins with ALONENESS." (Charlie "Tremendous" Jones) I love this quote because it reflects the way we often feel with our home business.

Matthew and I both have so much time and flexibility with our home business. However, the masses all work a 9-5 J.O.B’s and they spend their weekends rushing around with the crowds shopping, getting kids to weekend activities and loathing the Monday work week. The leadership we show is there is another way. You can enjoy your life and make a multiple 6 figure income as well.

Do you realize that success, and I am talking true success, only happens to 3-5% of the masses. Now some of you may say what is success? Well I like how Earl Nightingale puts it "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal". Our successful home business lifestyle allows us to go shopping in the middle of the day on a Monday, taking the kids to the fire hall for school field trips and spending 6 weeks on the beach in Baja in the middle of winter, come home from that and go to Australia and more, these are just some of the things we did this year alone! So the price we pay is small, because in return for this solitude is an attitude of gratitude and freedom. We are able to be present in our lives as well as the lives of our children's. Now if being present in your children's lives or living life on your terms is not a worthy ideal then what is? Live the life you want, that is your responsibility, and you can be the 3-5% if you choose to make the change.

Enjoy the video for our trip to the fire hall with our daughter's pre-school, this is how we spend our days!
