My apologies, it was a dumbass typo.
I didn't mean to infer you had money when you moved to Phoenix, that would be a ROYAL F*ckup, I agree.
Nothing about that move for you was easy, and I KNOW that.
I actually meant something far more complimentary and FAR more empathetic to your situation at that time.
What I meant to infer (though failed to do so) was that you had a mentality that was doing things (skillful) and when you did manage to get subsistance in the next several months you allowed the dream of Phoenix to take flight with that money and the website that you made into an asset during that time.
I hope I am not being too confusing when I say that the leverage you achieved in that timespan was skillful, and no matter how insignificant that money may be compared to what you have now it came from the line of thinking that makes money happen. You needed that cash to open your life up, and you made that happen.
You didn't sit around saying "money doesn't buy my happiness". You had (what I can only assume was) a "F*ck this has gotta get DONE" attitude, and you did it. The money leverage you created and that attitude of success allowed that little bit of cash to change your life.
I meant to infer the intensity. I meant to infer that all those conditions and contexts make that small amount of money you had, truly and profoundly important.
It doesn't matter the amount of money, but it matters the intent with which you use it, and with the intent you had and what you did make, you got that life change to take off.
I mean, its remarkeable. The attitude of pro biz independance NOT frugality, turned what you had into a tool for a significant life upgrade.
As unemotionally connected to that moment as I might seem to you, the truth is I empathise with the story you told.
Why?
Cuz I left my COUNTRY with 1500 or so dollars. I had to grind daily to make subsistance off my own businesses. I didn't have the same level of skill you did, I kept suffering on and on for almost 2 years, learning what I could about biz on the road before I finally created a BRAND that enables me to get up and out of the crap.
I feel I understand that story cuz I've lived enough of it to know how it feels.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the way I see it, is that your bearing towards success not towards mediocrity, allowed a path that WAS truly richer spiritually and financially.
I just think, "how can you say money isn't crucial to happiness, when the ability to create it, can change a guys life". I mean, how ignorant is it to say that you should have "not sought after money cuz it won't make you a happier person".
True it wasn't the money alone that did it, it was all you, but, that pursuit so free of nonsense allowed you to take freedoms and improve your outlook and happiness.
Would that have happened if you were afraid of succeeding?
It was fearlessness, an attitude that DID what it set out to, money making attitudes, not fear of making it that got you to that happier place, more in control of your destiny.
Hope that makes more sense.
Sorry for the typo, I know how irritating it can be to see that shit.
Summary:
I meant to say, that by transforming your financial situation, you allowed a move to work that did change your level of happiness.
Not "he had money, ho ho ho, look and it freely gave him the ability to move to phoenix cuz he had millions with a limo biz"
That would truly be retarded, if it were my point.
I got very quickly that you moved because shit was suffocating you where you were. Takes baaaaalls to do also.
Anyways, I didn't mean to be rude, sincerely.
