Who I Am
Hey there! I’m sure we will get to know one another better as we hang out and discuss all the ways we can finance the future; but for now, here is a little more about me. My name is Russell and I am a husband and father. I live in Texas with my wife, my daughter, my dog named Matilda and my cat named Oreo. Over the course of my life, I have been in the grocery industry, banking, nursery and landscape industry, the corporate world, and most recently in full time vocational ministry as a pastor for the past 17 years. I am also a former firefighter and medic. In short, I have had some amazing adventures over the course of my time on the planet.
What I’m Trying to Accomplish
I’m on a mission now to acquire and maintain a higher level of financial freedom that will allow me to care for my family and to be able to spend more of my most precious commodity – TIME – with them. Additionally, I want the freedom to be able to travel more and eventually start a non-profit. In order to live into my calling and dreams, to be able to afford retirement, and help my daughter get off on the right foot, I am doing everything I can to finance the future.
What I’m Sharing with You and Why
This blog is all about my journey to become completely debt free, save for the things listed above, and have a sustainable income streams from a variety of sources that will provide for the future I’ve envisioned for me and my family.
The reason why I am sharing this journey with you, is that I hope to help you to finance your future too. I have always heard that if you want to keep something, you have to give it away; so that is exactly what I am doing. I’m sharing my experience with you absolutely free!
My hope is that you can learn from both my successes and my failures. I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I did. So I am willing to share it all; the good, the bad, and the ugly. For example, I recently began publishing on KDP and after 45 days, I have finally sold my first 4 books. Because I made some early mistakes, I want to share what I learned so that you can get your first sales that much quicker.
In addition to the above information, I will also be sharing about my life, the cool or useful things we find on Amazon and much, much more. Everything will be categorized, so if you’re only after the Amazon deals, you can go straight to that section and ignore the rest! Or if you are only focused on reselling on Ebay or Amazon, or you are only interested in Affiliate Marketing, then you can deal directly with those sections found in the menu on the right of the main page.
My other objective is to create a community of like-minded folks. We all have something to offer. As a community, we can learn from each other. So through the comments and in other ways that will be unveiled later, we can help each other achieve our goals.
My Commitment to You
I am committed to bringing you the best information related to debt relief, income streams, investing, and saving. Some of this information will come from research. Other insights will come from my personal experience. It will always be honest, because that is always the best policy!
Well that’s enough about me for now. I look forward to our journey together!
