Hi
HOW A CANCER SCARE PUT ME ON A PATH TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM
(Note: this is mostly a copy of the email newsletter I sent earlier tonight - I goofed, leaving off the heading above, so this is to correct that oversight. If you read the earlier one, you don't need to read this.)
As you might have observed, I haven’t sent out a newsletter for quite a while.
But I was shocked to discover today that the previous one was just over a year ago!
Can I blame the pandemic? No. Fortunately I’ve been spared that.
But I did have a serious challenge in the health sphere.
The Health Scare
About this time last year a health challenge I’d been experiencing turned out to be more serious than had been previously diagnosed.
It was The Big C – bowel cancer.
I’m hugely grateful that the operation which followed rapidly on the diagnosis was successful. And the prayers, expressions of love and other support from family and friends worldwide were I believe a big factor in my recovery.
Because I did recover, thank God.
But full recovery took a while, literally months, and a lot of things fell by the wayside for some months.
Like this newsletter.
Recently a friend asked "Has anything changed for you from that experience?"
I said one thing is that I now value each day as a gift, more consciously than I have in the past.
Another thing was about money.
The Money Lesson
As I recuperated, at times I became very frustrated with not having my usual energy.
Not being able to concentrate for as long as I was used to, not being able to put in a good day’s work without getting over-tired.
I realised with absolute clarity that what I needed was a business that did not depend on my being fit and healthy for five or more days every week – week in, week out, month in, month out, year in, year out.
I needed a passive income, and a substantial one at that.
For financial freedom and time freedom now, and financial security in the future.
I needed to be making money while I sleep.
I needed money to be coming in even if I was not well.
I’d known all that, conceptually, before.
Now I knew it in my bones.
It’s not that I’m lazy. I love my coaching, I love helping businesses with social media and occasional consulting projects, but all of those involve exchanging my time for money.
And I love reading, visiting art galleries, attending concerts, and just hanging out with friends and having great conversations over extended lunches or dinners.
All of which also take time – and usually money as well.
The Money Angels Smiled
Regular readers of my newsletters will know I have actually tried a few business projects over the years with the aim of creating passive income.
With some success.
But not enough success for me to be sure there would be a day in the not too distant future where I could confidently take my foot of the pedal, so to speak
Then late last year our good friend Manda shared with Suzie and me a business project that was providing her with the means to realise her own dreams.
This was in foreign exchange trading (forex), a field I had previously thought was effectively reserved for banks, governments, and high net worth individuals.
Manda was able to show us how a company called CashFx (CFX) changed the game and opened to people like me a way to build a substantial income from a starting commitment as low as $300.
And there were other attractive features, including:
- An impressive company record of consistent success in the Global Forex Market
- Combining the knowledge and skills of professional traders with proprietary technology
- No monthly fees!
- Members paid every week
I did my due diligence, checking out the company, its leadership, the business plan, the track record, and so on: I was and am seriously impressed.
So we each purchased a contract with the company.
At an outlay of US$300 each, we were applying the very sensible principle of not risking money we could not afford to lose.
Then we started getting paid, week by week, with weekly returns consistently around 5%.
My spirits rose.
I said to Suzie, “The money angels have smiled on us at last”.
Curious?
If you would like to know more, on this Wednesday 19th May, Suzie and I will be hosting a webinar to explain how CFX works and how we are rewarded.
We will be joined by our mentor in CFX, Hazel Moore from the UK, who is a Director with the company. We are thrilled that Hazel is donating a $300 Bitcoin gift. So the lucky winner can get started with a CFX automated trade pack.
To qualify, you will need to be online – a Zoom call - for the webinar from beginning to end (around 40-45 minutes).
The call will be on Wednesday 19th May, at 7pm AEST (10 am BST, 5 am EST).
