Lost At Sea

Last Sunday afternoon, I got word that the Alaska Ranger had sunk, about 120 miles west of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

It’s certainly not the kind of news you want to hear on Easter Sunday.

And being that I used to be a fisherman myself, I took it harder than most.

You see, I know how dangerous this line of work is, and I have a lot of respect for the people who work in the fishing industry.

They put their lives on the line every day in an effort to provide a decent lifestyle for their families.

Eric Jacobsen was the captain of the Alaska Ranger, and had always been known for running a “tight ship”.

He’d been in the industry for 25 years and was the kind of guy who would put others first.

He proved this on Sunday, as he worked to save as many crew members as possible, then went down with the sinking ship.

As you can imagine, I’m no stranger to accidents like this.

During my 7 years as an Alaska Fisherman, I lost more friends than most folks lose in a lifetime.

And though I’ve been out of the industry since 1995, every time I hear a story like this, it REALLY chokes me up inside.

After almost losing my own life that year in a tragic fishing accident, I made the decision to get out of the industry.

I was sick and tired of putting my life on the line for a paycheck, and knew there had to be a better way.

Looking back, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I now get to live the kind of lifestyle I’ve always dreamed of, but more importantly, I get to spend the majority of my time showing others how I did it, and how they can easily do the same.

There’s no doubt that I figured a few things out over the last 13 years.

In fact, my biggest discovery was this (you’ll want to write this one down)…

There’s no correlation between how hard you work, and how much munee gets put into your bank account.

When I worked as an Alaska Fisherman, there’s no doubt that I worked HARD for the munee I made.

But…

Now it seems like the less I work – the more munee gets put into my bank account.

And I’ll let you in on another little secret.

I LOVE the work I get to do now.

I LOVE sharing the strategies that got me where I am now.

I LOVE seeing my clients use those strategies.

And, I LOVE knowing that I had a hand in changing their lives for the better.

So…

If you’re reading this right now, and thinking to yourself, “Yeah Kevin, I can relate to you. I work my tail off, but it seems like I’m not getting any closer to having what I REALLY want from life”.

If that’s where you’re at right now, I’ve got GREAT NEWS.

There IS a better way.

To find out more, Go Here right now.


Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson

P.S. Like I mentioned before, you don’t have to work harder in order to have a better life. The secret is to work less and have more fun at what you do. Once you start doing this, everything else just kinda falls into place, and yes, the munee will come in too. To get started, Go Here.
