The heroes journey

First of all, I want to thank you for coming here. I also want you to thank yourself for taking the effort. If you read this and give it a thought, the first step in your own heroes journey has already been taken.

What is “The heroes journey”?

The heroes journey is in its essence really the core of every intriguing story. From the ancient mythology in Greece to modern day movies like Star Wars, The Hobbit and Avatar. The heroes journey is a pattern of narrative, identified over 50 years ago by the american Joseph Campbell. The heroes journey describes the typical adventure with a hero who ventures out in the unknown world, overcomes great obstacles and comes home as a transformed person with riches.

My own “The heroes journey”

I just found out that I had also been taking the heroes journey, but in real life, without even knowing it.

It was in December 2012 that I made the decision that enough is enough. My kids were growing up so it was past time for me to grow up as well. I then quit gaming and gambling, which had been a great part of my life. Probably as some kind of escape from reality, instead of facing the problems I had as a father of 2 kids and a demanding full time work. The result of my escape had been less sleep, less energy and bad performance both at work and in family life. My wife always complained about me forgetting things, which was a reality (even though she still does sometimes :-)

I started by deciding to spend time learning something new instead, and ended up with trying to master trading.This became a total failure since I am driven by feelings, which does not work well in trading. Luckily I started with a demo account trading binaries with a system called Pate. I was genius when learned how to read charts and really understand them, if you could have put your feelings aside. I also tried binary option combined with a martingale system that worked like clockwork doubling up 5 losses up to 5 times, if I would have stayed with 5 times. This time it was with real money and was profitable until I lost it all 5 times. I then went over to network marketing and personal development in Empower Network and Big Idea Mastermind. Started a blog, learned and started to advertise and started to listen to personal development presentations. It was a great company and a great experience but extremely hard to recruit so it ended up just being expensive.

The road forward was extremely crooked and nothing really worked for me. Thought that trading with the help of others in Etoro would help me so I joined their traders “facebook” system where you could copy the successful. Only two problems aroused. First, I could not keep my fingers away and traded myself as well. You can guess the outcome of that. Secondly, the traders i choose always seemed to have bumps in their successes whenever I jumped aboard. I still have an account with Twitter shares on it, but that’s all. Then went on searching for robots to trade for me and joined a Bitcoin robot that was great, the only problem was that I never succeeded in linking the money sent to the broker with my accounts, so had to withdraw eventually. Now the rate has skyrocketed, offcourse. Next was to find some great system to trade Binary option for me without me having to choose the trades. I found and tried a couple, but they were all useless and felt like scams.  So I thought maybe a plain trading robot trading currencies could work. Was a bit more cautious now and started to search for the right one.

Then an opportunity came from a network friend about a revenue sharing company. Looked great so I put in all I could afford and more. This was something that did not depend on me, looked serious and could not be jeopardized by my feelings.

The journey continued with me starting a new blog and trying out affiliate marketing, just to end up with me feeling ashamed of myself. I guess all these personal development stuff was getting to me ;-). Failure upon failure led to more personal development and now, a little over a year after taking the big decision I have finally found my way back home again. Transformed and enriched. Last week I found the purpose of my life, yesterday I found out what I really had been doing (I had taken the heroes journey) and today I got acknowledgement of my first paycheck!

Your own “The heroes journey”

Now I encourage you to take the first steps towards you own journey. The difference for you is that I will lead your way and be at your side as a mentor and companion along the path to riches. My suggestion to you is to start reading books that will enlighten you and show “the light”. If you can read at least 10 pages every day you will be 3650 pages richer when a year has passed. To make it even easier for you to start, I can provide you with all the classic books in personal development. This is in a downloadable format where you get the books in both PDFs and Mp3s. This will make it possible for you to listen to the books instead of reading them. Which in turn makes it possible for you to use your phone in your downtime while exercising, driving, cleaning or using public transportation etc. No, there is no limit here and you won’t even have to put in any extra time for this…

As examples of good books to read, see my posts: The slight edge or Think and Grow Rich for free

Next step for you is to start helping your friends and relatives, actually the most important step in the whole process. By helping others you can grow as a person to levels out of you own imagination. What you will gain by this is insight, confidence, recognition, purpose etc. When you find your way home again you will understand. When you find your way home you will also feel so much greater, happier and enriched. But there are also possible financial rewards awaiting you…

Now the ball is in your hands,

Yours truly,Image
