Coy's Story

Life Life has been interesting to say the least. A few years ago I got really tired of working 60+ hours a week and having little time with my family. I had never thought about starting a business and when I finally did think about it, I never thought I could do it. Today I own multiple businesses and I owe it to a group of Private Business Business owners who helped me realize that anyone can succeed if they choose to. It does take work and sacrifice but, there is a whole different way of life on the other side. I've come to realize why most people will never succeed. It takes guts which most do not have. Most people thrive on security and where there is a floor, there is always a ceiling. I realized I was put on this earth to do more than just work a 40+ hour week and give what is left to my family. I think about it, and what would our for-fathers say about the society that exists today? Where is the element of risk, what breaths excitement into the heart of a warrior. Benjamin Franklin said it best, most people are mentally dead by the age of 22; they just have to wait until their body catches up. Some people leave a mark in life, some people leave a stain. A question I like to ask people is are they living a life of symbolism or significance. Do they define themselves by what they do as a profession or who they are. I now help people do what I did. Why, it's just the right thing to do. I know what the current system produces. Why is it that most people can't retire at age 67? You don't have to look far to figure out that people are hurting out there. Still, most people are like Pavlov's dog and stay in their comfort zone because they fear the unknown. The sad part is, most people aren't honest with themselves and reject that what is known is not working but refuse to change. It's called mediocrity and it has saturated society. I know this sounds like a soap box, but anyone who is reading this, and it's making you think; good! Think f...Expand for more
or a change. What is success? How many people are better off because of you. I've seen too much to realize what people can achieve with the help of people who know how to do it. The hardest part about becoming wealthy, truly wealthy, is finding someone who is and that's willing to teach you. Wealth not just monitarily, but wealth of character. Ever met someone who retires at the ages of 20 to 35? I have and it blows my mind how many people think it's a pipe dream. I have many friends that have done it and it is truly a different life. They are retired from a job, but not from life. They speak around the globe, inspiring others to do the same. There is a disease out there now and it's called being busy, not necessarily productive. Was I skeptical, yes! I just figured that skepticism for intelligent people meant that I had to gather the facts. Just because someone reached out their hand and offered advice and help and willingness to help me; how could I not have at least found out what they were talking about. I am glad I did. Isn't that what people should do anyway. I know there are alot of scams out there but the biggest scam of all, is the lack of respect that people have for themselves not to evaluate what could be true and have the backbone to say "no". Most people when offered and opportunity say "no" first before gathering all the facts. That's like eating a berry in the woods, not knowing what it was, until theyr'e pumping your stomach in a hospital. I hope people read this. I wish people would reflect on what it is we fight for every day and every year, and the years gone by.........freedom. When your'e controlled by another man, are you really free? Do you even want to be? There are prisoners out there and there are slaves. Slaves are comfortable with the security of their boss or master, prisoners look for a way to be their own master. If that's you, then find a way. It is out there. You just have to look. Who controls you?
