"The biggest understanding was my career"

Before I start sharing anything, I want to give a big, warm hug to Jon, Missy and Alex. You have inspired me, supported me in every moment and made me feel like family. Thank you ? 

I started this program because I instantly saw the potential and the need in getting my life vision straight. I strongly believe in the power of thoughts, and sometimes it's a great big mess to keep anything organized in my head. 
This has been a life-changer. 

All along the way, I was telling myself how I wanted the people I love to benefit from this amazing structure that you created. That's how much I believe in this work. 

I came into the program with a solid base in quite a few categories. I spent 15 years of my life travelling and discovering who I am but never really took any interest in my career or my financial life. Spirituality, adventure, backpacking was my way of life and planning into the future was irrelevant to me at the time. Living in the moment was all I knew. 

As I matured and met my wife, 9 years ago, a need to build a nest took more and more importances in our lives. Though, achieving our goals was still out of reach. What I've got out of this process is priceless.  

At first, I thought that I would ask for my refund because of our financial situation, but now that I have opened this door, I clearly see the long-term value of this work, and I am looking forward to continuing the journey with you guys. 

The biggest understanding was my career.  I'm a carpenter and I love what I do. I also want to help people in their lives with what I learned throughout my experiences. I thought of being a naturopath with all the knowledge I have on health and natural remedies, but that still didn't feel quite right. And then it struck me, how about couple counseling? 

My wife is studying to be a coach in women's sexuality, relationship and childhood traumas.  What we do best in life is our own relationship. We have worked hard on it for many years and have accumulated lots of knowledge along the way.  
Not only did Jon and Missy inspired us to set the bar even higher for ourselves, but they have inspired us to help other couples do the same. 
Like you said, the world needs more healthy, thriving couples.  Also, as a natural-born hippy, I've realized that my beliefs on money were not always serving me. Not that I thought it was evil or anything but just not that important. 

After the financial chapter, the link between contribution, value and money is now well established. I am ready to welcome as much money as needed to pay for the great things I want in life and to help others. 

I thank you, Jon for knocking some sense into me ? Now that all has been put into perspective, the road ahead looks much more clear.  Thank you so much for being who you are and letting us into your lives.
