Key to financial freedom 2.0 (English) by Kulin Desai “What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero What Does a Financially Free Life Look Like? Financial freedom is about much more than just having money. It’s the freedom to be who you really are and do what you really want in life. It’s about following your passion, making choices that aren’t influenced by your bank account, and living life on your terms. About Author - Kulin Desai says I came to America with a lot of dreams; dreams of a nice car, a nice house,", "but they turned into nightmares. Kulin left India in 1977 and soon found work as a clerk for a large bank in New York. Eventually, following the Indian custom of arranged marriages, he married Mina, the daughter of a family friend in Bombay. "We felt we could get along, and love came later," says Kulin. Kulin eventually achieved his version of the American Dream, working his way up to Vice President of Data Processing at the bank. This gave him all the money he wanted, but it left him no time to enjoy it and no time for his two children, Kavan and Mona. He was putting in 80-hour weeks, but had little job security, and no opportunity for further advancement. "I came to a free country only to become a slave to my career," he says. The Desai began their home-based business in 1989. As it grew, they began to see in it, their ticket to a better life with more choices and more control. Now Mina and Kulin enjoy a life that is more familiar to them. "This business supports the family values we had back home in India," says Mina, "where the husband and wife work together and spend time with the children." Mina’s goal now, is to hire a cook someday. "Indian cooking takes a lot of time," she says!

Episode 18: Don't just sign up but Own up (Ramesh & Rama Sathanakrishnan)

Bill Hawkins spent his youth in an upper-middle-class family. He always knew he could be anything that he wanted if he put his mind to it. He knew that to get what he wanted out of life, education had to play a part in his plan. Thus, Bill ended up attending college in northern Minnesota, where he met his future wife and business partner, Sandy. Both Sandy and Bill had grown up in the suburbs with every advantage and opportunity afforded them. Having been raised in very similar circumstances, the couple held the same conservative values and both hoped to lead meaningful, successful lives once they graduated. Though their core values and beliefs were in line, Bill and Sandy weren’t totally in-sync in every way. In fact, they were quite opposite in most respects. Whereas Sandy was quiet and shy, Bill was the absolute life of the party. Bill was—and still is—an outgoing, gregarious social butterfly. He loves to crack jokes and never shies away from striking up a conversation with a stranger. Bill knows that strangers are just friends you haven’t formally met yet. When Bill met Sandy, everything seemed to fall into place. Bill’s warmth and outgoing personality instantly attracted Sandy to him, and Sandy’s demure sweetness drew Bill in the first time he met her. Their courtship perfectly exemplified the old cliché, “opposites attract.” After a little over two years, Bill asked Sandy to be his wife—and she gladly accepted. But it wasn’t happily ever after…just yet. Like many young couples just starting out, they had their fair share of struggles. While they were still just dating, Bill had taken a job as a high school English teacher. As soon as they tied the knot, they tied themselves down to a hundred-year-old house that they affectionately called “The Pit.” The young couple had hoped to take the ancient home from horribly dilapidated to shabby chic, but on a teacher’s salary, it seemed like an impossible dream. The breaking point came when Bill discovered that he owed $600 in taxes one April. That in and of itself would not have awakened him to the reality of his situation. What really served as a wake-up call was the fact that he had to ask his father for that seemingly insignificant sum. On top of driving an old beat-up car and living in a house that was quite literally falling apart, Bill didn’t have $600 to his name. He knew it was time to change something. That’s when he decided to change everything. Bill’s father was a small business owner and constantly told him that owning a business is where he could reach his full potential. Six months after his realization, Bill had launched his very own business. He and Sandy had decided that they would keep their day jobs while they figured out how to get their business venture off the ground—and that they would give it five years. But their greatest achievement? Raising two amazing daughters together. Thanks to their unique career choices, they’ve been able to spend far more time with their children. Above all else, they feel blessed to have grown their business and their family together without sacrificing in either area. Bill devotes a great deal of time now to helping others achieve their true potential. Just as he believes strangers are all potential friends, he believes that everyone he meets has good in them.

Fear Vs Faith by Arun and Pragya Pathak Hindi

Are you Ready? by Anurag and Nidhi Aggarwal About Speaker  Anurag & Nidhi Aggarwal (MBA Students Ghaziabad (U.P.) Nidhi, my wife belongs to a family of industrialists but I belong to a family where all were in service. In fact, I am the first and the only businessman in my family. I was also determined to better our future, because I had seen the problems faced by families living a hand-to-mouth existence. Nidhi was aware of the problems that one faced in a traditional business especially, that of financial insecurity. When I was in the third semester of my M.B.A., the Amway business opportunity came to me by chance, and that too, through a stranger who approached me with this plan. Instantly, the logic behind the concept was clear to me and I knew that this concept, with a strong leadership could do miracles in this country. Without wasting any time, I started the business immediately. I took active interest in building this business while Nidhi supported me morally and in many other ways. Within 5 months, I became Silver and thereafter we never looked back. I became Founder Emerald before I got married on 22nd January 2003. After we got married, Nidhi got actively involved in this business. The best part of our life is that we never had to take up a job because by the time our M.B.A. results were declared, we were Gold Producers. Initially, we faced many challenges. Also, nobody in our family believed that success was possible in this business. So, nobody supported us. But, with clarity of vision and a strong commitment, we just moved ahead. Today we are the masters of our destiny. We have all the time on earth; we not only spend a lot of time together but also with our parents. We are only in our thirties and are already Diamonds; it feels great. We are very thankful to Amway and our upline, because without their help success was not possible. Special thanks to our parents because ultimately, it is their values which keeps us on track.
