I am a father of 2 and a husband of 1. I focus my energy and my ambition towards improving my family's life and working towards the goals we have as a family.
I have spent 10+ years in the high-tech industry climbing the corporate ladder just to find out that not only was it on the wrong wall, but that the view will never change. I have re-focused my energy towards things that actually work; things that move me towards the goals I have for myself and the goals we have as a family. I have found the only way to do that is to solve the money question through business projects. Once one has the money problem solved, one can go live his/her life as one sees fit.

From what I have seen, the former leads to potential successes and the latter prevents success. Life is a series of decisions. You are where you are based on the decisions that you have made in your life. There are certain times that there is a crossroad; where something significant is either happening ...
