Good morning my friend,

So, today I'd like for you to get to know a little about me. Hi, my name is Nita, and I am an everyday Jane. I am not rich...(yet). LOL. I am starting this business basically in debt. I am not a guru or a professional when it comes to this type of business. I am learning as I go, just as I hope you will too. So, basically, I'm just a mother, a grandmother, and a wife. I work in janitorial services right now and live from paycheck to paycheck. I am making ends meet one day at a time but I'm tired of always struggling. I came across Four Percent through a wonderful mentor named Aaron Chen and so my journey to financial freedom begins. Although, I did not see myself starting it in debt, but I heard someone say one time that you have to have money to make money. This, of course, made no sense to me at the time because how was I to make money if I had no money to begin with?

But then one day, I came across a profound statement that stuck in my brain. It said, "Rich (successful) people use credit different than poor people. I had grown up using credit to get the things that I wanted in a sort of lay-a-way plan. But successful people don't use money that way. They use credit to make money. I pondered this for quite some time before committing to this program. Was I willing to take a risk and go into debt so that I could eventually be out of debt? I had been conditioned to think of credit as a bad thing. I've had my bouts with it and not come out on top. LOL. But today I am determining to do just that. I am determined to make this business work even if I have to learn new things that make me uncomfortable and boggle my mind at times.

My dream isn't to be rich, but to have enough to bless others. Life isn't about having so much that you can just do whatever you want and think only of yourself, me and my four and no more. If God opens the windows of heaven and pours you out a blessing so much so that you can't contain it, he doesn't want you hoarding it. He gave you more than you need so you can help someone else. I pray I am able to do just that. Yes, I want to be out of debt, and I want to be able to pay my bills but above that, I want to be a blessing.

So, if you are following along with this blog, then you are on my journey as well. This is the beginning of my business. I hope to share with you every step of the way, and who knows...maybe at some point you might get inspired to start your own business with Four Percent. I pray all blessings on you, my friend.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you...and give you peace!

Until our next encounter.
