I want to tell you a story. Our story and why I am reaching out to everyone with a heart and goal to change their lives. You see the pretty girl in the picture? That is my beautiful wife, Christina, and that was July 1st, 2017. It was a great day. In fact, Canada Day. We were out celebrating Canada's 150th birthday like millions of others across Canada and even the USA. That is the last day since then, that I have seen my wife look healthy. I don't really want to get melodramatic or shock you, but life does happen and often seems to get in the way.
My wife has been battling health issues for many years but the last four years have really taken its toll on our family. You see I have always been a hands-on kind of guy. I just didn't run my business I lived it day to day. Slugging it out in the trenches. On job sites. Renovating, painting, framing, selling and doing what ever I needed to do to run my business. That all changed July 9th, 2017!
I hope that many of you should already have seen that I wrote a book. The Wealth Principle. I started my journey to write this book several years ago under the premise that it was a part of my training program I was developing along with running my construction company and real estate investment business. The fact is I could easily write another book called "Christina's Story: The Strongest Women I Have Ever Known". It could be a best seller and a movie of the week. Hands down! Maybe I will but for now I am telling you a short story with a purpose. The fact is I ended up writing The Wealth Principle over a four year period while my wife was in and out of the hospital.
I now face a new challenge that pales in comparison to the challenges my wife faces. Let me back up a bit. My wife and I decided after a long battle with her health issues and lengthy hospital stay that we would take a well deserved and needed vacation. We decided to drive to Nashville Tennessee. We had visited on business there many times but had never taken in the sites, the music, the culture. What a great town and awesome place to visit. While on our vacation my wife got exceptionally ill. She caught a bug that got into her blood stream. Attacking her lungs and heart. Six days into our trip she got noticeably sick to the point that her breathing was extremely labored. I called paramedics. Within hours she was in an ICU, on a respirator fighting for her life. It took three days to stabilize her before she was airlifted back to Ottawa, Canada.
Here is a big shout out to the medical team at Nashville's TriStar Skyline Medical Center and the Canadian Medical EVAC Team from Montreal who helped save her life the first time!
I spent the next three months, 18 hours a day by her side while she fought for her life. She survived through the grace of God. But not without sustaining traumatic injuries to her body and almost dying two more times.
Another big shout out to Dr. Kim and his ICU team at the Ottawa Hospital's General Campus for saving her life again!
To this day, my beautiful wife and best friend, Christina still lives in a hospital waiting to come home.
It has been a heart wrenching experience for our family and our children. I tell you this story because It has forced me to rethink and evaluate how I do business now and going forward. The fact that I am an entrepreneur and full-time business person allowed me to take the time to be with my wife, day in and day out, while my business kept running. I eventually had to get back to business, but I had options. This is one of the reasons I promote to anyone with a desire to be an entrepreneur and develop business opportunities. You can have total control of your time with no one else to answer to. My wife needed me, and I was able to be there for her.
My wife still needs me there which brings me to the second point of our story. I have decided that I want to now be a full-time author and mentor. You see I can run my business from anywhere at anytime with a laptop and phone. It is that simple for me. The days of me being on a job site. Renovating a kitchen or a bathroom. Flipping a property for someone has become very limited. At a moment ‘s notice I may have to be at my wife's side. She is recovering but the road is long.
So I am taking this opportunity to ask you this question:
Who has the time to lose going forward?
How valuable is your time with your family, your loved ones?
I am here to help and mentor anyone with a dream, a purpose and the desire to win!
You can support my wife and I, buy our books, watch free videos and get some awesome training with our heart felt thanks.
This is HOW we NOW earn a LIVING.
Maybe it will change your life.
Share our story. Help us get the word out. We are rebuilding our lives and we hope you want to become a part of our journey.
I look forward to hearing your story one day.
We appreciate you and we will talk again soon.
For now KEEP CRUSHING IT!
