Surrounded by boulders and volcanic rock, my wife and I listened to the crash of the ocean waves as we enjoyed our last Hawaiian sunset before heading home to California the next day.
As the waitress came by to pick up my wife’s empty margarita glass and offer her another, she asked…
“You guys are here all the time. What part of the island are you from?”
“Oh, we’re not from here,” I said. “We live in Los Angeles.”
She stopped in her tracks, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said, “You must have retired early then?”
“No, I still work and Elizabeth stays home with our two kids.”
You could see the wheels turning in her head trying to figure us out.
“If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for work that allows you to travel so much?”
“I run a bookkeeping business. And since it’s mostly organizing and putting things in the right place… and the software I use does most of the heavy lifting for me… I have free time to enjoy with my family.”
Now she was MORE than interested.
“Wait!” she exclaimed. “You make enough money to live in Los Angeles, have one income for the household, have two kids, and travel to Hawaii all the time… as a bookkeeper?”
“You got it!
And it’s not just me.
The average bookkeeper working for someone else makes $35,000–$53,000 per year.
But the average bookkeeping business owner makes well OVER $100,000 per year.**
And you can learn how to do it VERY quickly!
Which will give you a ‘richness’ in all areas of your life—financial, time freedom, and family life, too.”
