What I Learned On A 32 Day Road Trip

I’m just finishing up a 32 day road trip across the U.S. with the family. Here is a quick video about something that really hit me on the trip.

Hi Joel,
Thanks for taking time to make the video. It has been fun to keep up with your road trip and see all the exciting things you and your family have done. I like the story you shared about Milton Hershey, a man who worked so hard at his business ventures. Though Mr. Hershey failed many times, he never gave up and was able to succeed and help so many people along the way. His story is truly amazing!
Knowing you for 20 years, I am reminded that you had a dream of financial freedom. You have worked hard to overcome the challenges of starting your own business and have never given up! Now, you are able to provide well for your family and spend a lot of extra time with them like you have this past month on your road trip. Like Mr. Hershey, you have also reached out to so many others, like myself, allowing us to become successful by assisting us in ataining our financial dreams. It is nice to see someone like yourself giving back in so many ways.
We look forward to having you back in Utah. Enjoy the last few days of your trip and drive safely.

Great message about persistence! I’ve learned the most successful people in the world have failed many times before they have achieved success, and they all learned to become more prosperous from their failures like Henry Ford! LOVE THE RV……Hope the family time was awesome…..enjoy every moment. Children grow up TOO FAST!!!

Hey Joel,
I learnt a couple of thinks from your video …some new vocab – “podunks” – and that I can relate to Milton Hershey! (Well maybe not the millions of dollars just yet).

Blessings,
K.

Your trip and the video is an achievement. We shall equally aspire to go through your effort. But for now my personal and pet project – a work on a true story Novel is all I wanted to project for the world to see. It is entitled – Escape fro Bondage to Freedom. Thank you.
