. It can be difficult to appreciate the good in your life without enduring struggles or challenges. This was My Life on Fire. It took me a while to figure out that in order to reveal and use my gifts, the factors holding me back had to be removed. When I look back, I can understand the reason for the flames. I read this testimonial to myself regularly to remind me of what the struggles are for. If you just so happen to be dealing with your own challenge, I encourage you to do the same.

Everyday I have to remind myself why I am here and what I was put in this world to do. There will be many distractions that will look to derail you along the way, which is why you need to embed certain messages in you...

What is it you say, ... you do here? (Office Space, what a classic!)

That was me, … I am not good at working for other people. That type of environment does not fit me. I have heard that I am a good teacher though. What do I ? How to create . It's not something you learn in school or on the job. It's not something you work for. You can't go to a store and buy it. It does require , , and a of like minded people to make it work.

What is it?
Why is it important?
How would you teach kids, … and adults?
Why would you want to hear more?

As we move to share the big learning lessons from our work, I decided to share one with you today - The Promissory Note: My Education on the IOU.

That is a concept that I embarked on with my son almost 4 years ago! How can I teach him to become financially independent by the time he is 18 years old? Success or failure, it will make a great story!

When we started, we made the decision to document the process along the way. We ran into a number of roadblocks. I found out that teaching kids is not the same as teaching adults. One big challenge was keeping him interested. That turns out to be a big challenge for adults as well.

The Promissory Note (Note for Short) is a Promise to Pay. If you haven't heard it before, don't be surprised. You know it by other names; Loan , IOU, Debt, ...

Stories are valuable, especially the ones filled with mistakes! My system for writing stories regarding my experiences started earlier this year. I kept running into obstacles, and no matter what the result there was a learning lesson and the curiosity of what comes next. The biggest reason I did this is that titles made the stories memorable, and people are able to choose what stories they want to hear. Which one resonates with you out of the list below?

- The Difference a Day Makes
- The Domino Effect
- Who’s Team are you on?
- What Scares Your Wife (Spouse)?
- The Storm Provides
- I am the Storm (Part 1)
- I am the Storm (Part 2)
- Ghosted
- Not all Electricity is Created Equal
- Something Fishy …
- Can’t Have Thunder Without Lightning
- Can't Touch This
