I own 6 Insurance agencies and dabble in buying and selling beach condo's. I have been truly blessed after leaving a 6 figure salary 12 years ago from a fortune 500 company at 30 and everyone telling me I had lost my mind.Started with nothing but only my belief in myself. Only did it because I wanted to be my own boss and control my own destiny. I did not and you should not do it for the money. Do it because you love it and the income will follow. RobbieG and b16a2 said it beautifully.
Yes I have other hobbies such as my Porsches and BMW's.Houses and ocean front beach condo's. But none of that matters if your not truly happy with yourself. Most importantly are my faith,family (2 kids and wife), health, and a whole lot of wonderful friends. Without these, no amount of money will make you happy. Surround yourself with POSITIVE people and POSITIVE things will happen.
I love b16a2 saying that success is determined by how many people show up at your funeral.
