Do it till it's done

I'm missing being home. We've been driving back and forth to Salt Lake city (a 4 hour drive from Saint George) every week! We're crashing at friends homes (thank you so much Carvalho's and Olevao's!). I miss my bed. I miss my kitties and puppy. I miss my little community of friends. I miss home. But it's worth it.
We're helping one family at a time to change their lives for the better. The current economic downturn has made people realize that their jobs and their financial positions are not as strong as they'd thought. I love educating families about how money works and how doing things as simple as getting out of debt, protecting their families with life insurance, and saving for retirement and other goals will pay off. I think that this saturday night live video clip is hilarious but so true for Americans. Hope you laugh, but take this seriously.
Sometimes, life changing events come from the simplest things. Here's what I'm preaching & probably what your grandma taught ya too: get out of debt, protect your family, save money.
If you want to live the life others don't, do the things others won't. We know that we're exchanging/sacrificing little things now so that we can have a lifestyle that most people don't have. We're evolving and having a wonderful time doing this together. We find that those who mocked us a year ago are now congratulating us on opening a northern Utah office. I think that with the more success you have the more critics you'll have as well. I admire all of you who are successful. Who broke free from the "normal" pack and made the decision to change.
We have a friend who signed a 100 million dollar contract with 41 million dollars to be guaranteed. For the average normal (broke) person, that'd be like hitting the lottery five times and accomplishing their dreams. For him it was an amazing accomplishment to reach his goal, but now he's re-evaluated and set his new goals to be even higher in achievement, not just finances.
Set your goals high. Do what it takes to win. Do what others are not willing to do. Winners do it until its done, and then they do it again. Be educated. Consider the risks, and then act quickly. Do you want the next five years to be like the last five years? If not, change. We'll support you. We know it's scary, but its way more exciting to worry about the little obstacles along the way. No one ever makes a difference or becomes successful from not saying anything or doing anything. God created us to make a positive difference in our lives and the lives of others. I look forward to seeing you at our first business overview in Lehi and hearing your success stories. What did you do or what are you doing to reach your goals and dreams?
Here's that funny Saturday Night Video Clip:
