Yes, that is true, I agree with you, but I am not sure if there are no other options.

We have just made the best and worst decision of our lives. I quit my decent job and we moved to a little town in northern michigan to pursue our entreprenuerial dreams. We are living on a shoe string and have no idea where our next months rent will come from but we are LIVING it. Doing what we love.

I am a really talented cake designer with lots of passion and ambition. No money yet-but we’ll get there. The movie changed our lives and we watch it regularly to remind us of how hard times can be the most rewarding.

I found your story inspiring. I, myself am in a bit of a jam. I live with my my two boys,and their mother. We struggle week to week, paycheck to paycheck. We both work, but only at part-time jobs. I had a checkered past, that I struggle to distance myself from, but it always returns to haunt me, such as in background checks, etc. I’m straight now for 12 years, and in that time returned to college, got my associates, and am now working on my bachelors, but my past keeps me from progressing, and I wish there was something I can do to change things. Any suggestions?

I also saw the movie and it inspired me to look you up and read your story. I have a 32 yr old son who is a single dad to a little 3 yr old girl who he loves very much. He struggles daily. He has been in all kinds of trouble with the law and addictions to drugs. He also struggles with highs and very low days. I am always worried about him and am always praying for him. I plan on getting him the movie (I doubt he would take the time to read) and hope that your story will also inspire him to not be afraid to dream and succeed. Like you, he is very bright and charismatic. Everybody that meets him loves him but they don’t know the demons he struggles with.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that my son receives a lesson and not just entertainment.

Mr. Gardner,
Thank you for your story. My boyfriend has been struggling for 2 years to get to the same place you are. He has taken his exams many times, but gets anxious and fails. Many times he is two points away from passing. I know he looks up to you alot and believes that one day he can get there. I thank God that you found your financial freedom and I pray to God everyday that my boyfriend will soon find his. Bless You!!

I love what you said ..

“Being in a Space where I could choose, Having a Choice & Having Responsibility.”

Your story is very inspirational.
