I wrote most of this book by iPhone on a plane to Los Angeles, sitting next to my husband and two kids. Often there was little time in my life to commit to writing. As I looked at my little ones, then ages 4 and 6, I knew I had to make the commitment. Although we were on a pleasure trip, financial commitments loomed and the idea of trading hours for dollars has long been unappealing. Those little faces and visions of the life I truly wanted, coupled with four hours of flight time, were precisely the motivation I needed.
Who I was, mixed with who I was destined to be hung in the balance. Fourth-three, a loving husband, three great kids, an MBA, coupled with years of experience. But was this all? Really, is this all to the next phase of my life? I wanted sustainable financial freedom. I wanted to work when I wanted, from where I wanted, all while making as much money or more in my passive state as my active state. It was time to jump all in. Fearfully? Yes! But I focused all of that fear and committed myself to 90 days of the hardest work I had performed. That, coupled with all the knowledge from all the books I’d read and all the experience I had accumulated over the past 25 years of my life culminated to create a series of entrepreneur portfolio books (you're reading the first one), coaching, online courses, consulting and training. All the things that I loved, all the things that I made companies that I worked for a fortune doing, but had only half-heartedly committed to for my own wealth-building and financial independence.
The time was now! No, not tomorrow. Not when the kids are older. Not once I finish this project at work, NOW! I HAD to commit to the next 90 days and the proven principles that I'd made Fortune 500 companies even richer doing. Just 90 days and my life would never be the same.
