I was on fire, my business grew to over $1,000,000 in annual sales by 2003/2004. I was so passionate and driven about helping people feel better that I burned myself out by 2007. That and a mix of other things left me unable to work for 3 years. 3 YEARS!!!!
It was at this time I realized how important it is to have a financial plan that will feed, clothe, and shelter me in case of illness / personal loss.
