Truthfully, some of his teachings are unrealistic in today's economy but his main teaching is to live debt free aka Cash Is King.

If that's the case, I'll be driving a Benz s550 or BMW 7Series soon. grin grin grin
Cash is not always king bro. A lot of times, you have to show a good credit history to match.

Cash is good mostly while You're investing in items/commodities to resell in a short period of time. Paying cash gives you a good leveaege in renegotiating and getting more discounts.

That's why Rich folks pay less money for their stuffs.

I am not an independent contractor

The opportunity came to move the cost of living in the beltways area was to high to move from Midwest

One other proven way of breaking into $18 to $22 dollar mark with lesser manual labor is QUALITY CONTROL TECHNICIAN.. Pay depends on industry, The biotechnology(Medical device) companies pay far more.. There are few specific knowledge you need to know to be a quality tech like GDP(good documentation practice) which is unavoidable in this field. You can do a research in it..

Another thing is knowing how to measure with tools like digital calipers, micrometers also check on Youtube to know how to use them its very easy. Also learn about SPC software (statistical process control) it gives u an edge on your resume..

Once in the field you can start getting your ASQ certifications, in quality tech etc just check the ASQ website to know which certification to start with and move higher, you can move higher to get lean six sigma (black and green belt) to become a quality manager/engineer which pays from 70k to 100k plus.

If interested I have a well detailed resume that will get u an interview all you need is study the resume and do a research on some tools states in the resume and you will be hired. The truth of the matter is irrespective of which company highers you, you will still get trained on their SOP/PROCEDURE that is to say u can learn on the job and gather the necessary experience.

I am where I am today because of intensive research and learning from other successful people. The truth of the matter is the first person you come across in America will determine how far you will succeed. If you come across the $12 $13 $14 gang of people that's how far u gonna go cos ur mentality will be wired on that amount/job.

I was opportune to meet the 6 figure individuals and I keyed myself tight and learned from each and everyone of.them that was how I broke into the 6 figures hierarchy. Now I have met the almost One million individual and I learning from him real good.

One funny thing is i Asked GoodFaith what tools he is using as a cyber security admin and he mentioned the two important tool the same guy is using to making over nearly a $million dollar of which I am currently studying I was surprised he mentioned them.. Information is at ur beck and call utilize it, learn from people, even if it seems too good.to be true still do ur research. Folks are.making 6 figures easily the difference between u and them is information.

I am out!!!
