The phrase, "If you don't change your direction, you may end up where you are headed" can be said many different ways but no matter which way it reads, it still means the same thing. How many times can you think back on where you said, If I would have only known then what I know now, I would have done things different? This happens to me all the time as I am sure it does for most people.
Most people, 98% of the population, go through life living day by day and they never plan for the future. They just keep on working towards retirement where they will, most likely, be forced to live on 40% of what they can't live on today. This is a SCARY thought!!!!
My life made a huge change last year when I was introduced to a financial course by Dave Ramsey called, "Financial Peace University" which can be found along with tons of other financial pieces at DaveRamsey.com. I don't make a single penny for talking about this so don't worry. I simply feel that everyone should take the course as my family did. It will change the way you look at life, money, family, etc.
We hear tons of hipe about how this and that can change your life but this is a must. Let me explain. We were living check to check, week by week and never had much to show for it although we had a pretty nice income. The bills were being paid but where was the rest going? I knew the money was coming in but didn't have a clue as to where it was going. That was until this course. Now, we follow the extremely simple steps taught in this course and we know where each and every dime goes. What a relief!!!
I am so certain that this course will help everyone that I feel that it should be a required subject in high school before anyone could graduate...PERIOD!!! If this happened, the financial state American's face daily would be a lot less stressful and they would be able to live not just exist from day to day.
Dave has a saying that took me a little while to grasp. It is...Live Like No One Else So One Day You Can Live Like No One Else. Once I understood what this phrase really meant, life for my family took a turn for the better. So, I strongly suggest that you take a little time to review his website. It may help you in more ways than just financially. I know it did for me and my family.

Headaches, Wasp/Bee Stings BE GONE!!!
I have to share this with everyone. A few weeks ago I heard about a product called "Sunjing" and how it could almost instantly relieve wasp/bee stings. Being allergic to these little creatures all of my life, I've tried everything to ease the painful stings but nothing worked as it said it would. Then, I saw a little eight year old boy get stung on the back of his head and this miracle product was rubbed on the sting area and then had a cold pack applied to it. Almost instantly, the little boy said the pain was going away. When I saw this I had to get a bottle for myself and my wife, just in case. Wouldn't you know it. A few days after getting ours in, our six year old son got stung on his calf muscle on his leg. Remembering what I had witnessed, I grabbed ours and it had the same effect on him. Incredible!!!
This morning, I woke up with a painful headache and nothing seemed to help. I did the usual headache pills, took a nap and still had the headache. I decided to give it a shot and apply some "Sunjing" on my forehead and the tip of my nose. Within a couple of minutes, my headache was completely gone.
This is the most amazing product I've ever seen so I wanted to share it with you in case you or someone you know suffers from these problems. I ordered our bottles online, the only place to get it. Here is the address I got it from...Sunjing Is Amazing.
The highest reward for man's toil is...
“The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.” John Ruskin
As I studied this quote this morning, I began to realize just how true this is no matter what the situation, job or career. Looking back over the past forty years, it is clear to me that all my personal toils have made me the person I am today. High School sometimes seemed to be useless to me at the time, the hours of practicing music could be long and tiring, and the long hours driving from concert to concert could wear me out but I pressed on. The more I continued to press on the more experience I got. As Don Stanford said, “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.”
This can be true with starting a new business. You may put in long hours only to be able to just keep things going. Don’t worry, this is called “Experience” and it will make you much stronger. This is what people kept telling me and I am glad they did. It is true. So, keep your head up and keep pressing onward and you will go far. Just make sure you are headed on the right pathway or you could end up where you don’t want to be.
