It all started…
in India. I was born and raised in a city known as Ahmedabad in the state of Gujrat. My husband on the other hand was born and raised in another town; named Baroda. We both went through typical childhoods, with our parents always encouraging us to get a good education, so that we could get a good job, and then we should be set for life. So, that is exactly what we did. I did my Masters in the sciences while my husband has a Masters degree in computer science and an MBA.
We eventually ended up where our parents had always hoped, a so called “secure job”. But, early on in our corporate careers we began to realize one thing…as long as someone else is signing the paycheck, they are the ones who are truly in control of our finances and time.
We were A players stuck in a B game
This feeling became even more apparent when in 2008 my husband was laid off after suffering an injury in a car accident. Although he was fortunately able to make a full recovery, we knew at that moment that we needed to do something; in order to secure our future and regain some control over our time and money.
Fortunately, it was at this time that we were introduced to our mentors. A couple who were financially independent and in control of their time.
We were able to earn their trust by showcasing our strong work ethic, honesty and integrity and were blessed to have earned a spot on their team and more importantly, their mentorship.
With the guidance from our mentors, we have been able to identify our potential and excel in all aspects of life while following our passion.
In our journey so far, we have made great friends who share our values, vision and work ethic. We are on track to achieve financial freedom so that we don't have to trade our time for money or live a life of regrets. Not only that, we now have the privilege of working together with like-minded people in order to achieve our common goal of positively impacting people all around the world. Because we believe that the true definition of a person’s success is based on how many people are better off because they lived.
We are not a TEAM because we work together, we are a TEAM because we Respect & Trust each other.
