Why Am I Doing This

I am offering this blog as a service to the people who are out there searching for a way to learn financial freedom. As a dentist I have the means and the time to take courses and read books. I personally have gone from a self centered, depressed, anxious, paranoid, helpless (you get the picture) person to someone who is very generous, loving supportive and powerful. I did it through doing different courses.

I have taken a lot of courses and it has been quite a journey. Mostly I will be focusing on the financial freedom courses I have taken. Because if you're anything like me you are searching and looking for the answers on the web and you never know who to trust and what will work.

You go to these web sites and they have a long letter and at the end they want you to put in your name and email. You never know if what's at the end is worth it, and you probably get a million emails a day that you have to delete. And if you actually spent all the time reading those articles and notes you would have no time to do the dishes.

Plus a lot of times you are being asked to part with 20 dollars here and 197 dollars there and you never really know if what they are selling is worth it. They say $20 is not a lot of money but if you sign up for 20 courses and ebooks that's $400. Now we're talking about a lot of money. I remember when I was in college, I had to scrape together change and search the couch so I could go get a salad and a cheeseburger from Wendy's 99 cent menu. $20 back then was huge.

Plus I have a hard time finding time to finish one course before I move on the next. I have stacks of books to read and courses to finish. I get bored or confronted and give up and start looking for the next one. I have found that this is recipe for disaster. The great Diane Hochman once told me "Chris you are looking for the answers outside of yourself, and as long as you do that you are going to spend lots of money". Boy was I mad when I heard that, but I got to thinking. At first I didn't understand it, but then it dawned on me the answers are inside of me. Courses and self help just uncover what's really inside of all of us. A marketing campaign is a self expression, true marketing is where you sell a product you generate and it has to come from you.

Now obviously we all need to learn the skills necessary to become what we want. I had to go to school to bring out the inner dentist in side of me. I do excellent dentistry, but I didn't learn that, it was always there, Dental school just uncovered it.

So in this blog I will be telling you about the courses I have taken and what my experiences were and who I think should take each course. I will tell you that if your looking for X this is the course for you.
