I originally read the 4hww back in late 2009 and early 2010. At the time I was in a job that I absolutely dreaded and in fact was working two jobs tyring to support a family and everything that comes with it. House, car, school, etc.
Unfortunately my marriage is ending having a lot to do with the many hours I worked. I never focused on what was important. I thought I was doing the right thing by my family but as hind sight is always 20/20 I realize many of the grave mistakes I have made.
Fortunately, the pending divorce has done a few things for me. One, the job I dreaded was eliminated in mid 2010 and I went to work for a Tech firm. Fast forward to now, this firm is allowing me to work from home full time!!!!! that is right guys/gals I am at home starting monday 1-10-11. Second, the second job went away at the end of December. Third, because of the pending divorce the other half and I decided to claim bankruptcy in effect eliminating all of our debt and financial obligations as well as getting rid of the "things" we really don't need. Don't get me wrong, I am not happy about claiming bankruptcy as I used to be a financial advisor. In time though I will be able to repay what I owe.
In addition, I am rereading the 4hww. I will be recreating the life I have always wanted since I essentially have a fresh start in every area. I would like to share that at the top of my list will be reconciliation with my wife, however long it takes. Second, and in the mean time of reconciliation, working on me in general, exercise, eating habits, etc. Third, with the new found freedom of working at home I can focus much attention on my two wonderful children and work on my muse (still to be decided) but I love brainstorming about business ideas.
I have no where to go but up and I would be grateful for those of you who would like to walk this journey with me. I will post updates and as I progress and give feedback where I can. I wish you all a fantastic 2011!!!!!!
