You guys that have known me for a long time know that I'm a big believer in small business and a huge voice against trading time for money - i.e. getting a job.
The bottom line is that as long as you are trading time for money you are limited to what you can make and are definitely crippled when it comes to living your dreams. I believe someones time is better spent learning how to create passive income (income you get whether you're working or vacationing) instead of working for a paycheck. Why?

• Income potential: You get paid forever for what you do today
• Tax Advantage: The government has a different rulebook for business owners
• Freedom: How nice would it be to never punch a clock again?
• Control: Who controls your destiny?You or your employer?

There are several paths people take to create passive income. Each has it's own pros and cons. For mere mortals like you and me business and real estate is definitely the way to go.

• Paper: Stocks and Bonds and the like
• Royalties: Money from book or music sales
• Real Estate: Rental Properties
• Business: Starting a small business

If I haven't lost you yet, let me just tell you that IT'S NOT THAT HARD! For me it's a lot easier than working in some plant somewhere!
I started my own company in 2003 called Prosperity Systems Inc. It's my chance to practice what I preach. There are several areas of focus that justify Prosperitys existance. One is to help average people create a system to climbout of their rut and acheive financial independance. My other focus is helping small businesses analyze thier business processes, update their systems and run more effectively and profitably.
If your looking to improve your situation or simply create more time, I do have a plan that will work for you. I'm stoked to answer any questions or to just have a good conversation about business, so ask away. Yes this can work for you!
