I can do that and life would be so much easier, but at the end of the day, it’s not about having an easy life. It’s about having a life lived well.  I believe that my blessings aren’t given to me just for my own benefit and that’s why I do everything I can to share what I know and help people retire earlier and more comfortably.  Watch this episode to learn more about my reasons for being here for you, what I want to change, and how your life can be changed in the process too!  Key Talking Points of the Episode [00:00] Introduction [01:33] Why do I do what I do?

If you’ve got one, you’ve got a traditional mainstream advisor, fire them.” “In their little retirement brains, they can’t even think of retiring early. They can’t think of retiring in the next 5 or 10 years.” “If you keep doing the same old traditional stuff, you’re gonna get the same old ordinary results.” “It requires effort. It requires you to think differently and do things differently.”
