How many times have you made a decision and then you thought afterwards if it was the right or wrong one to make?

The truth of the matter is that we’ve all done this, especially as it relates to money decisions and financial wealth.

Now here’s something that most people don’t do, and this can dramatically change your life for the better.

Have you ever made a decision you thought was “bad” and then realize that it was the best decision you ever made in your life?

If you’re having a difficult time trying to come up with one in your own life, let me give you a real life example…

A number of years back I was asked to be a business partner in a small fitness center in California. I jumped at the opportunity, drove out to California from New Jersey, and within 2 weeks realized this wasn’t for me. I backed out of the deal…

And never got back the $30,000 I gave this person. This ultimately ended up costing me well over $100,000 before it was said and done.

On the surface this looked like a “bad” decision because not only did it cost me over $100,000, but it basically ended up wiping out the excellent credit I had along with all of the money I had saved over a 15 year period.

Now when you look below the surface of what happened here, it turned out to be the best decision of my life…

Why?

Because it sent me down a path that has given me the opportunity to do what I love, be financially rewarded for it, and to have the freedom I now have today.

It also woke me up to the importance of putting a high value on money. In fact it even goes beyond the money part.

This has also helped me realize what it means to have financial freedom and why it is important, and how it can help others.

So here’s what I want you to do…

Think about a decision you made which you thought was “bad” that perhaps cost you a lot of money, and take the time and look to see how it has changed your life for the better.

At first you may not see it, but keep looking. Be sure to look at how the different areas of your life benefitted. Look to see the positive path this decision sent you down.

And also remember…

No matter what you’ve done or not done you are worthy of living the type of freedom based lifestyle you deserve. Whatever that is for you, just know that it is never to late to start.

The time is now for you to do amazing things in the world through the uniqueness of who you are.

And it all starts by knowing how you can help others get what they want while you get what you want…doing what you love most by being your unique and amazing self.
