Subject: i believed this lie too Friend...

Hey Friend,


There is a lie that I believed

The more that I got, the more I'd be free, free, free, free


So I've been away, making the green

See, the more that I get, the more that I need, need, need, need


So pray for my, pray for my, pray for my soul

I got a, got a disease, and it's gold

Caught it so easy like the common cold, ooh, ooh


Tossing and tossing and turning around

Trying and trying to sweat it all out

Kicking the habit that's pulling me down, ooh, oh


I don't wanna be 85, singing

Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money

I don't wanna be 85, singing

Oh, no, I got a big house, but my heart is ugly

---------


Those are some lines from one of my favorite songs Friend... It's called '85' by Andy Grammer


I recommend it. :-)


Truth is though Friend, that is a lie that I believed...


Now that I have my freedom, I've learned the truth about having 'stuff' and having all the money you want/need.


So what's that truth?


That it's not enough. I want more... not more money or stuff Friend, but more of what seems to make life really worth living...


Service, love, joy, grattitude, contribution...


This a picture of my business partner and I with Jessica at Feed My Starving Children..

This picture Friend, this picture brings me happiness because it represents doing something good in the world, other than piling up 'stuff' and money for myself.


There's nothing wrong with money Friend. We all need to function in this crazy ol world we live in.


But if we want more than money, say - happiness...money can't be the only focus we have.


My personal belief is that we are all spiritual beings having a mortal experience, and while I don't project that belief onto anyone, for me - it makes sense that for my soul to be happy, I have to be making sure it gets what it needs too.


This is one reason I love the term 'Soul Pay'.


This is a phrase I coined after reading this quote from Napoleon Hill...


"If money is all you have in your paycheck at the end of the week, you have been grossly underpaid."


If you can make your money be a symbol of the service, value, love, contribution, etc, that you have poured into people...


Then Friend, and only then, will our dollars be badges of honor, and not crowns of shame.


One more related thought do this 'lie that I believed'...


I've been so passionate about residual income, for so long now, it feels like - freedom through residual income is a message that's permanantly tattooed on my soul.


I'm still happy to have the tattoo, however, I've discovered that there was more to the story...


Even though I have plenty of money, - I'm not free to do whatever I want - If I want to continue to be happy.


Freedom and responsibility are 2 different sides of the same coin.


It's been that way all the way here, and it's still that way now that I'm standing on top of freedom mountain.


People are depending on me.


My family is depending on me.


My customers and affiliates are depending on me.


There may be others in the world, who don't know me yet, who are waiting for me to show up and shine whatever light I'm supposed to shine, into their lives.


So even though I may be 'free' - I'm not 'free to do whatever I want' - if I still want to live a good life and feel like my days are adding up to something to be proud of.


So today Friend, just like I did on day one of my freedom journey - I'm still asking this question....


"How can I take the gift of my life, and turn it into a gift for the lives of others?"


Somehow, I don't think the answer to that question will be sitting on a beach, 24 hours a day - 7 days a week, drinking margaritas for the rest of my life.


To freedom and beyond,


Paul Hutchings

PPS - This message I wrote about today is part of the change we are seeking to be in the world with this business and community.


Last night, one of our new members who got her first sale in 30 days was teaching us what she did and while she was teaching she dropped, what I thought to be, one of the best compliments we could possibly receive (and it had nothing to do with how much money we're all stacking in the bank)...


Her name is Dina Grimes and here's what she said, in essence...


"I'm one of those skeptical people, but I'm here to tell you that this is one of the most honest businesses I've seen."

Wow. How cool is that? We still have work to do, but hearing that - inspires me to know that we're on the right track.


Would love for you to join us Friend, and help us build something we can continue to be proud of, if this message resonates with you.


Here's a page with video questions & answers that I put together a while back, that hopefully can help you peek a bit inside the soul of what we're doing here, to see if it's something you want to be a part of.
