They give great advice, and talk about when they first started. Then I'd find a mentor, someone who is already doing what you want to be doing and talk to them. Best advice I was ever given! It's how I became a coach. :) Good luck! Start listening to the millionaire interviews. They give great advice, and talk about when they first started.

You've set a good example that everyone should follow to free themselves from debt. Did you, in any way, feel bad at first for giving up things that you value? Just want to check because i know some people who are hesitant at first. They tend to cultivate this hesitance and end up achieving nothing on their goals. I would rather follow your example than suffer from having too much debt and end up looking for means to repair credit rating instead of enjoying a stress-free life. Great job jaime.
