Society teaches us that hard work leads to a great life, so we build a career first and try to fit life into what is left over. But perhaps there is a better approach… What if we could design our lives first, and then fit business into what was left?

Steve Cook began his career in the restaurant business, but failed miserably. Success came with a move to real estate investing, and three years in he had $7M in assets. Flipping houses allowed him to accumulate a great deal of wealth, and his financial advisors were committed to helping him accrue even more. Steve was doing everything right, but he wondered when he would get to enjoy it. The business had become his life, and he was compromising everything that was important to him.

Committed to simplify his life and break free from lenders, Steve made radical changes. He stopped borrowing, downsized to reduce expenses, and pared down his work hours so that he could be the husband and father he wanted to be. In the book Lifeonaire, Steve Cook outlines his approach to the pursuit of an abundant life, and today he shares that philosophy with us. Listen in and learn how to shift your mindset, overcome cultural conditioning, and pursue the life you want right now!
