How many of you would love to live life freely? Without constant worry about money? How many of you would love to enjoy life to the fullest, spend more time with your family, and do the things you really enjoy?
My mission in life is to help people live a free life. A life that is free from constant stress.
In over 11 years in the US, I always ask myself how I can have true financial freedom and just enjoy it? I ask this because after I graduated, I went right to work. I did not get to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery in China. When I came to the US, I studied again and got busy working after graduating. I didn't really get to travel until recently. If that is also you, I highly encourage you to discover the journey of starting your own business and start becoming an entrepreneur.
I am very grateful for my husband. He is very supportive. After we got married, he told me that I can be a stay-at-home mom if I did not want to work. But in the meantime, I was also concerned. I was concerned because at the time, my husband did have a great source of income, but what if he loses it? What's going to happen to our family?
I was wondering what I could do at home so I could have additional income, so I would have money when I wanted to buy something, for personal growth, and to help the family out as well. I didn't know where to start. I didn't have any business experience. All I had was the desire to become an entrepreneur.
I started to read books about what business I can start at home. Then, I read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad that mentioned investments as a good way to start, but if you did not have money to start investing, you may want to start owning a business. It also introduced the business of direct selling and coming from China, I did not know what direct selling was.
So I went on Google and searched direct selling. I was living in New Jersey and I found this jewelry company. I got in touch with the lady who sells jewelry, and I did not know what I was doing, but I wanted to learn how to run my own business. It was my very first business experience and it was to set up a booth with jewelry to sell in my school. That got me started in the business, but I did not feel passionate about it, so that vehicle did not work out for me.
When my husband and I moved to Texas, I got into health and nutrition. I was in that business for almost 5 years, but that did not work out either because I wasn't passionate about it. I made a lot of connections, expanded my network, and developed many skills because of that business, and I am very grateful for it.
If your business does not work out, do not complain that business is bad. I have always believed that there are no bad investments, there are only bad investors. The business model itself has no problem, it's just the person who runs the business. I don't feel bad that that business venture did not work out, because later on, I have been through many other businesses until I landed in the kind that I am really passionate about - I now have a financial services company.
My husband and I always look for ways to have different streams of income. There are 2 types of passive income - investments and businesses. Building a business is always an ongoing thing for me, but my husband and I are always looking at investments to make. We have experienced going to financial advisors for help, but we did not get much help because we did not learn much about the investments we wanted to make.
I am very grateful that I met someone who introduced me to the financial services industry. He taught me a lot about investing and it really opened my mind. My husband and I used to invest hundreds and thousands of dollars in learning different types of investments, but he taught us information that was life-changing. We applied what we learned and established an even stronger financial foundation for our family.
