Last night, my wife and I attended a wake.

Our good friend, Mike, lost his father after a 4 year battle with cancer.

When we pulled up to the funeral home, there were cars lined up for almost a mile. Over the past few days, probably close to a thousand people had come to pay their respects to Mike’s dad.

He seemed like one of those guys who knew everyone. He had six kids, ten grandchildren and countless friends.

Lately, I’ve been to a lot of funerals - and a funeral has a way of making you look closely at your life and re-evaluate your path.

By the turnout, it was obvious Mike’s dad led a “rich” life.

You might know in addition to teaching people how to get super fit, I also teach others how to become financially independent.

Where I see people making a huge mistake is getting caught up in just “making money”, but they lose sight of what’s important and are miserable along the way.

They believe it will all be ok because the 20 or so years of misery when they are finally rich.

Unfortunately, once they reach their financial goals, they realize it wasn’t worth the price.

You’ll usually find a trail of broken marriages,upset friends and family members they no longer speak to.

Believe me, even that expensive car you’ve always dreamed of eventually loses it’s appeal after a few months.

You see, it’s never been about money for me. It was always something more.

I was happy when I was making 26k a year working in a children’s hospital. And I’m still happy now, over 15 years later making much more than that.

Here’s something to write down and learn:

“If you are miserable without money, you are still going to be miserable with money.”

It’s not about “things”. That’s why you never see me posing in front of my house or cars. That’s why you won’t see me driving a Bently.

I teach my methods to help people achieve their financial goals WITHOUT having it take over their life.

It’s about finding a passion and turning that into a profitable revenue stream.

It’s about getting excited to wake up and start your day.

It’s not about working 18 hours a day at something you can’t stand doing.

When I left the funeral home I gave Mike a big hug and we just started crying. But when I left I had a sense of peace because I knew through all of his dad’s friends and family - his memory will live on for a very long time.

I hope when it’s my time to go, I can lay down and know they I led a rich life. And it’s not measured by the size of my bank accound - but by the impact I had on my friends and loved ones.

What kind of life do you want to live?

How many people are going to come to YOUR funeral and have great stories to share about you?

Stay strong,
Ryan
