Taking a chance.

[ji1029]

Hi everyone. My name is Joey, I'm 37 and up to May of this year I was a Police Officer with the city of Chicago. I was with the department for just about 2 years. However one tour at around 3am as I'm sitting in the squad car overlooking the beautiful skyline it occurred to me...this was it. This was all my life will ever amount to. I literally could see myself slowly withering away into just another statistic. Just another person who never claimed life. I was overwhelmed with this feeling, maybe it was my FTE moment. I think it was.

So, I left. I went on a leave of absence. I didn't know what my next move would be. I was scared, sad disappointed but I also felt FREE. For the first time in my life, I felt absolutely unshackled from this idea that the script was already written before me. And it made me happy internally. It's such a weird dynamic to feel scared of the unknown however empowered by freedom simultaneously. Anyways, it's not ideal and I landed back at my parents place for now however I have some savings as well. I started reading TMF and it rocked my world. I truly do believe it is POSSIBLE, with all my heart. I have no debt, I don't party, so I'm grounded in this regard and would dedicate every waking hour and moment to growing a business. However I'm struggling with what may be the biggest hurdle, how to start. I spend a lot of time trying to think of solutions to problems which from what I'm learning is a solid approach.

How do I claim my roadmap and forge a path? The desire, fire and passion is there I just have to find my direction. My goal is to become financially free by 43 (I know I'm old)

Any advice or feedback anyone can supply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
