LONG DAY

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Day two of four starts with an ugly 400am wake up, off to the airport to start another long day of flying. Four legs, seven hours and fifty minutes of flying, we finish up in Charleston SC at 400pm for the night. These early goes really wear on me, I usually will stay up late working on my business and then only get a few hours of sleep.

I get busy taking with people about my network business and emailing people that have contacted me that day requesting more information and I see that light of freedom flicker at the end of the tunnel and I am motivated to keep working until I have accomplished everything that I need to. I like to enjoy my time with family during my days off, so I try to make the most of my time while I am away on the road.

I know that we are busy, life is very busy and complicated now a days it seems. One would think that with technology being what it is today, that our lives would be much easier. I guess being so accessible 24/7 it makes life difficult for most people. A read a great book a few weeks back called the 4 hour work week, this guy really has delegation down to a science. With automation and the use of virtual assistants he has to spend very little time running his business but yet makes a great income.

I am not quite there yet, but it is definitely a goal of mine, work less, make more. That is just one of the many benefits from a network marketing business, you use others time and talents to help you grow your business and we all benefit when the team grows. As the team grows so does the volume, as the volume grows so does the commissions and bonuses. It is a great concept and it works if you will work it.

I meet people all of the time that have negative comments about the network marketing business and I have just learn to ignore their ignorance. These comments never come from people that are successful and living the life that I want, they always come from people that are struggling just to make ends meet, living pay check to pay check and when I begin to tell them there is a better way, they immediately respond with a negative attitude.

If people are not where they want to be in life and are unwilling to change, no one can help them, just move on. There are plenty of people that are searching for help and welcome the information that my team can provide to them that will show them a better way to make money instead of work that 9-5 JOB. I have never agreed with the saying ignorance is bliss, ignorance can cost you a lot of money and keep you working until you die. Get educated, get motivated and try to imagine a life without stress or money worries. It will not happen overnight, but it can happen.

Family Time

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Well once again my three days off come to an end and it is back to my JOB. I don’t know about you guys, but it seems to get more difficult every week coming back to work. I had family down from Michigan this week, my niece, nephew and their friend Joey. It was great to spend time with them, I do not get to see them very often. My JOB tends to get in the way of me doing exactly what I would like to do and when I would like to do it.

We spent a couple days just hanging out by the pool and relaxing. Yesterday we spent the day on the lake, it was a perfect Carolina day. Being that it was a Wednesday and the kids are back in school, the lake was like glass. After dropping anchor and swimming for awhile we hit the Rusty Rudder, a little bar restaurant on the water. They have good food, cold beer and live music. When we headed back to the dock the sun was setting, it was a great day and my little one ask if we could stay out here forever.

I would like to be able to accommodate him with his request, we do not get to spend the time that we would like on the lake due to work. Just one more reason why you should pursue an opportunity that will set you free from work forever. I know that it is hard to wrap your mind around that concept, but just try for a few moments.

Imagine what it would be like to have the money and the time to do exactly what you want and when you want to do it. That is my goal and my message to everyone, it will not happen overnight, but it will never happen if you do not take action. Learn to dream again, I get angry when I listen to people give me all of the excuses why they cannot break free from their current situation. Anyone can do it, if they want to. Stop making excuses why you cannot have the life you and your family deserve and take action today.

What a Glamorous Job!

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I hear this all of the time and I cannot help but laugh, this job is anything but glamorous. Take today for example, it is day one again for me and I begin my day at 6:00am. Not much sleep due to the late night thunder storms that rolled through. I rush to get out the door because I know that the morning traffic will be bad. The entire way to the airport it was pouring down rain and the traffic was stop and go.

Once at the airport, parking is always a challenge, you never know which lot is going to be open. After attempting to park in long term 1 and 2 I had to settle for the more expensive daily lot. I make it to the security check point only to be given grief by the TSA agent that said I cut in line. I avoided the winding borders and waited behind the only two people in this line, only to be scolded. Some of these guys are just on a power trip, they like being able to give the pilots grief and we have to just take it to a certain extent.

My first flight to work is full, so I run to my second choice, an American Eagle flight that is running late because the flight crew arrived late last night due to the weather. Great, now I call crew scheduling to tell them that I will not be able to make my sign in, but I should be able to make my departure time for my first leg, provided we do not run any later. Again, I catch grief for not catching an earlier flight. I have a long enough day already without getting up at 4:00am to catch the 7:00am departure. If I am lucky I will get into my overnight about 11:00pm. That is a long enough day already!

Tomorrow will begin early as well, an 8:00am departure. It is usually not too bad when I can at least sleep in a little bit on day 2 to recover from day 1, but that is not the case this week. Hopefully, I will at least have a good crew to fly with. This makes the week much more tolerable when you are flying with a crew that works well together and has a good attitude.

I have been working with many of my follow crew members to get them started in their own business. Many of us are not happy with our jobs, the pay is not what it should be and the hours are horrible. My web site www.healthandwealthforpilots.com is now live, check out the Nuriche tab. This is a new company that is really taking off, a friend and fellow Captain invited me to be a part of this company and I am so glad that he did. We are both interested in leaving this crazy airline business and with a company like Nuriche and the timing that we are getting involved it will be possible sooner than later. Take some time to check it out and email me or call with any questions that you may have.

Another Monday

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Today is actually Thursday for most, but I am commuting into Chicago for day one of another four day trip, so it is my Monday. Like most of you, I hate Mondays as well, no matter what day it falls on. I think about my family, my business and the goals that I have set for myself and it keeps me going.

My business is going very well, I cannot say enough about the team of people that I work with. Everyone is so motivated and determined to reach their goals, no matter what they may be.

We all have different goals and want different things in life and that is okay. I talk with a select few people that tell me that they like their job and do not want to leave, so they think that a business is not for them.

It is a good thing if you like your job, but there are so many advantages from having a side business, no matter what your situation may be.

You cannot pay off your debt too fast or pay that mortgage off too soon. Prices continue to increase and most peoples paychecks are not. We are also facing one of the largest tax increases that we have ever seen this coming January when the tax cuts implemented by President Bush expire and I do not think that the Obama administration is going to renew the tax cuts due to the amount of debt that our country facing.

The bottom line is that everyone needs to have a side business for one reason or another, unless you want to continue to give a very large portion of your paycheck away to the government. We already work almost half of the year just to pay taxes, to me that is unacceptable. Take some time to access your financial situation and set some goals or revisit your goals and see where you are in your life and then devise a plan that will get you where you want to be.

I would love to help you in your quest for financial freedom, just email me at mike@healthandwealthforpilots.com or visit my website for additional information on some of the opportunities that I am currently involved in.
