“The only reason it took me nearly 2 years to fire my boss was purely because that’s the time I set for the goal. Had I set a 1 year target, I have no doubt that it would have been acheived in that time ” - Sean Rasmussen July 2006

So here’s the letter I wrote on that day, in it’s entire unedited form:

The Path To Freedom - leaving captivity

Sean Rasmussen - Karratha, Western Australia, Thursday, 8th December 2005

I’m finally there! In the next level.

Today, 8th December 2005 at 7am I walked away from my job a free man. No more shackles from the day to day grind of conforming to the will of society. I’ve replaced my income thanks to Jamie McIntyre (thanks Jamie) and the road is no longer rocky. My life has turned for the better. Big Time.

My new title: Full Time Investor & Life Coach

I can now do what I love to do. Invest during the day and help others achieve the same.

Look up the word Happy in a dictionary and you’ll see a picture of me. Actually, you’ll probably find my photo next to “ecstatic”, “excited” & “over the moon” as well.

Nearly 2 years ago, when I did the Jamie McIntyre homestudy program (the same month as Bill Stacy did his), I set a 2 year retirement target. Retire to do what I want to do, not what I have to do. There’s a big difference. I have been getting up in the morning and going to work because I had to.

Now I’ll be getting up and doing what I want to. Big difference.

My target has been achieved 5 weeks ahead of the deadline, January 15, 2006.

Meanwhile, I’m living my dreams. I’m in the Next Level. I’ve stepped up to the plate and I’m ready! Bring on life. It’s beautiful!

I’ve met some fantastic people over the last 21 months. Jamie McIntyre, Andrew Dimitri, Bill Stacy from Planet Wealth (mate, do you inspire me), Nik Halik, Adam Thomas & John Chapman from Investor Finance, Ian Daley, Roger (my graduate mate from Brisbane), 150+ Graduates that joined 21st Century Academy with me in the last 18 months, numerous speakers at seminars and literally hundreds of new people I’ve met through Jamie McIntyre’s program.

Has this been a fortune cookie of life, or what? Small things make big changes. I nearly didn’t see Jamie’s add in the paper that day in December 2003. I sent away for his free VHS and the rest is history.

Look up the word Happy in a dictionary and you’ll also see a picture of my wife, Cherie.

When she broke the board at the seminar in Fiji, I knew there and then. This is it. We are in the Next Level. Financial freedom is only a matter of time in my own mind. Success is approaching fast in the shape of happiness, freedom, gratitude, love, security, and financial rewards.

I am actively supporting charities. People want to know what I’m doing and want a piece of it. Life is looking pretty great right now, to say the least.

I’m really excited and there are a thousand things I want to do. Now I will be doing so with balance. For nearly 18 months, I have been working in a day job (10 hour days, 13 day fortnights), investing on the stock market, helping people get started with Jamie’s program and pretty much been up to 11-12pm every night with few exceptions.

Most mornings, I’ve got up at 4.30am to walk the dog and be at work on a construction site for a 6am start. 45 degree heat in summer, working in the sun in North West WA. I was nearly crippled or possibly killed by a near miss 6 weeks ago when a 6.75kg scaffold tube was dropped 12meters to the ground, landing within 6 inches of my right shoulder.

In all this time, I’ve watched about 6 movies, read no newspapers, watched maybe 1 hour of news and been 100% committed to the task. I only had $20,000 to start investing with and had no stock market knowledge worth mentioning 2 years ago.

Then I went to Fiji with my wife and 2 boys. That took me to the next level.

Now, I am planning balance in my life. This means evenings off. Lots of time with my family is not only on the cards but happening from today onwards. I’m scheduled to take my family to New Zealand in July 2006 and Hawaii in November 2006, followed by a few more destinations in 2007.

My next Big Holiday will be 4 weeks in France with my family. Don’t know when, but it will have to be soon. The world is too big to be sitting around, waiting for things to happen.

I’d like to share parts of my goal list I wrote out during a Jamie McIntyre homestudy session in January 2004:

• Retire to full time investor by January 15, 2006 - achieved
• Financial protection by 5 May 2005 - achieved
• Financial security by 5 May 2006 - on track
• Financial independence by 5 May 2007
• Financial freedom by 5 May 2008
• Absolute financial freedom by 5 May 2010
• Take my sons to all 7 continents by their 20th birthday – on track
• Travel to one major world destination every year – on track
• Donate 10% of profits to charity – ongoing and being honored
• Establish my own charity for educating children by 2016

There are many more. Some were achieved a lot easier than I thought. Others were possibly a bit ambitious but still workable. The main thing is this:

If I hadn’t written these goals down, I would have lost track and got off target. Today, I would still be at work and heading on a path towards retirement at the age of 65.

My inspiration source is massive. I will be sharing as much of my learning with as many people as I can. Anyone who wants to be a part of this, email me urgently. I’m building a team of 10 people to help me share this with many more people and help them do the same as me and many other 21st Century Academy Graduates. Who doesn’t want to be a Bill Stacy, right now? ( Bill, you’re a legend)

While I was writing this post, I jumped on the phone and joined up as an ongoing monthly sponsor of Greenpeace to add to my list of charities. When I nominated the amount, the response was hugely rewarding! Look. I’m taking action! I’ve been an onlooker for too long. Now I’m taking action.

One piece of advice I can give from all this:

Write down your dreams, Take Action and do it!

It’s all in your mind.

I’ll see you in the next level. Join me there.

Regards
Sean Rasmussen

So that was it. I wrote that testimonial within 1 hour of leaving the workforce forever. At the time I was overwhelmed by the fact that I had actually done it. All the critics, sceptics, cynics… all the people who told me it was a pipedream… they are still back there somewhere at the same job or another one. The beleivers who rewarded me with their support and who listened to me; some are advancing in leaps and bounds. Others are on their way or thinking about it. Life is surely beautiful and must be lived to its potential.

I beleived in Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy. It paid off for me. I decided to make up my own mind and not let anyone else do it for me.

As I write this, I’m at a 21st Century Academy Education For Life seminar on the Gold Coast in Australia. It’s day 1 of 4. I have been to 6 or 7 of these now (it’s a benefit of working close with Jamie). I was listening to Jamie McIntyre inspire the 400+ people attending and I was inspired to jump into my hotel room during the break and post this. I remembered how easily I could have given this whole “wealth thing” a miss… The though scares me.

Beleive in your ability, back yourself in and take action! It’s the only way to find out what is really in store for you in life.

Thanks for reading my story.

This is a testimonial by 2 dear friends in Perth.  I’ve known them for about 12 months. Their journey to retiring from their dayjob needed little more than determination, passion and ofcourse the right strategies. You know where the strategies came from, don’t you? 

Here is their story:

WE HAVE STOPPED WORK

Hi everyone firstly we’d like to thank Jamie and his crew so very much for having meet him and doing his homestudy in may 2005.

For now we have achieved our goal and have stopped work as from end of june 2007.

We’ve been in business almost 25 years and our last business was a cleaning service.  It was great but because of health reasons we had to look for other alternatives.  That’s when we came across 21st century academy and his strategies.  We’ll as we’ve posted previous and have succedded in our trades , we now can finally say that we’ve stopped work no more cleaning, but now working from home on trades and internet marketing. We love it . It’s great because now we can spend more time with family and friends.

We challange you to think out of the box.  If you wan’t your life to change your first step is to take action and that means now , because everyday that goes by is a day less to your success .  Make it happen don’t be scared.  It’s great to be sceptical, but do it as we did and make it happen because we choose to.  No more looking back, this is for real.

Jamie, God has blessed you to help others achieve their dreams and ours, and we thank you so gratefully.  Also we’d like to thank Sean and Cherie who has given us the confidence with the internet marketing which is now also part of our new venture.

The reason to our success is firstly getting rid of that fear that keeps you locked in and secondly you must Educate yourself , that will give you the confidence and getting rid of any fear.  And thirdly don’t hesitate in fullfilling your dream.

Your dream will become reality if you put full confidence in what you realy want in your life.

When we first started we thought we’d stop work once we reached 8 to 10k a month, but now we have more than doubled that and we are going into further new ventures into property inner circle and internet marketing.
You can do the same just believe in yourself , you don’t need to be a highly educated person, as Jamie McIntyre has made it so simple for anyone at any level for understanding the strategies.

It’s not how much you make but the fact that you start now.  Slowly but surely and finally get to your goal.

By the way we only bought the homestudy in may 2005 and have only traded live in the last 9 months, so does that make you think what you can achieve if you only set your mind to it.  So act now and remember the key to your success is to educate yourself get the fear out , and don’t let others take your dreams away and stop you from succedding.

Ciao from Pierre and Maria Perth.

You would have to be proud of that!  There will be plenty of sceptics out there (none reading this ofcourse) and to them I would say:  This is real !!!  These things do happen to ordinary people and it happens because they make a choice.  A choice to take charge of their own destiny and be fully in charge of their own financial future.  Pierre and Maria made that choice and they now know who is running their life.

They are!

Well done guys. I salute your determination.  I wish you Universal Success

I just got back from another fantastic, life-changing experience at Jamie McIntyre’s latest 4 day seminar in Queenstown, New Zealand.  After 7 days of visiting this beautiful place, we might get snowed in and the airport was going to close.  This news wasn’t all that upsetting to me.

I caught a helicopter ride with my wife and 4 friends, including Aussie Rob who retired a few years ago on the back of his successful stock market trading style.  I harnessed the opportunity and when the helicopter landed on a glazier, at 6000 feet (and probably -14 degrees Celsius);  I ceased the moment and filmed myself and Aussie Rob in the snow with an unheralded backdrop of the Southern Alps.  This footage will be available soon for you to view along with some great stuff from the seminar.

Jamie’s generous gesture to give away the $1,995 ticket to homestudy graduates spouses for Free was immensely popular and the result was clearly noticed.  I now know that with the next Gold Coast seminar 90% sold out and another one slotted in (December 2007) to keep up with the demand, we are going to be in for a fantastic experience.  This is what the Graduates and their spouses took advantage of (at no extra cost to themselves – 21st Century Academy footed the costs):

A free spouse ticket for their partner to attend the 4 day seminar within 12 months of purchasing the homestudy. Normally charged at $1,995. They got this for free.

The 24 month support structure was extended to 60 months (5 years) as long as the graduate attends the seminar within 12 months.

It’s easy for me to see.  I go to most of the seminars and know the guy very well.  The reason 21st Century Academy encourages you to attend the seminar even though you have already paid for the homestudy is this:

The most successful Graduates are the ones who attend the 4 day seminar.  It’s as simple as that!  Action takers are the people who succeed in life.  Bystanders get to ‘stand by’ and watch happy results for others.  Sorry!  No offense meant to anyone reading this but my experience is such:

“Our current results in life will keep repeating, UNLESS we change what we are doing”

Every time I attend the 21st Century Academy seminar, I experience massive personal growth.  This was my 8th time in 3 years!  Needless to say, I’m a happy camper.  I see the results and growth of many graduates and have made more friends than I have ever dreamt of in the past.  I state the next paragraph at the risk of sounding cocky.  Please understand, this is not my intention.  As a mentor of mine would say: “I say this, not to impress you, but to impress upon you“:

Since I fired my boss in December 2005, I have personally experienced over 900% increase in monthly income through stock market, property and internet strategies.

I’m the first to admit, I only make approx $5,000 - $6,000 on the stock market every month, but hey, who’s complaining?  Mind you, that’s on an average month and with very little effort.  I, along with thousands of other graduates, owe Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy eternal gratitude.  Our lives have improved our families lives have benefited and our communities will prosper from this.  Untold charities are feeling the effect and even moreso every day as many graduates are honouring their pledge to donate 10% of their investment improvement to charity.

5.45am Tuesday morning, I jumped in the 4WD with my 2 sons and drove to Streaky bay in South Australia.  We made it as far as Caiguna on the Nullarbor Plain, approx 1300km down the road.  Another 1000km was left to drive the next day.  Last time I made this trek was 12 months ago and I have quite fond memories of my stock market experience at the time. It was the best dollar return I’ve had for less than 1 week trading with options.

Let me share it with you…

It was May 2006 and I was driving to SA for the first leg of the “I Fired My Boss” 2006 tour.  When leaving Bunbury, I located 4 high probability trades to place.  They where bought calls on NCM, BHP, NWS and a 4th one I cannot recall.  All trades where placed on the ASX, australian stock market and to a total value of circa $9,000.

I placed the trades, jumped in the car and proceeded to drive across one of the longest road streches in the world.  When I reached a place called Madura Pass, I called my broker (Angus Knight) and asked where the market was at.  The response was “up 100 points” or something to that effect.  At this point my interpretation of the charts, over the phone, didn’t require me to take any action. 

Action would mean:

Taking a trading profit, or..

Making a donation to the market (taking a trading loss)

Imagine the onlookers faces as my wife, Cherie and I did an Irish jig with the kids on the middle of the Nullarbor.  At this stage we had made approx $5,000 and all we had been doing was drive across our beatiful country.   Imagine the carefree attitude I had when filling the fueltank at 1.85 per litre:

Cool! Petrol is expensive.  That means my shares have gone up!

The next day we arrived at Streaky Bay. It was Friday afternoon. The market was closing in 1 hour and I hopped on a computer to check the market again.  My trades had gone up from $9000 to $24,000 in only a few days.  I applied a fast bout of Technical Analysis and determined that now was a good time to cash in some trading profits.  $15,000 profit in a handful of days: Thank you for coming!

This years cashflow trades for the trip?

Well.  Besides my longer term trades, I’m doing no options trading right now.  No renting shares. No writing puts. Last year I was chasing a dollar and cashflow. This time, I didn’t even think about placing any trades as I was pre occupied with other stuff.  However, I can tell you this much: 

As much as it was a fantastic experience and a real good story to tell, making $15,000 in less than a week, it is an even better experience not needing the money and not even caring about placing trades for a quick profit. 

For those of you that know me, you know how well my websites are going.  Even though I make more out of the stockmarket than I ever did in a JOB, the internet puts it all to shame.  It’s a great life and I’m loving every moment of it. It’s where my passion is.

Now, in the tradition of Jamie McIntyre of 21st Century Academy, I’m modelling his attitude of having one week off every 4 weeks. I started with this trip to SA.  Some time away will help me further develop my Emotional Intelligence and some wealth strategies.  Imagine how many MP3’s you can listen to in a 46 hour driving round trip of the Nullarbor Plain?

The kids didn’t have to put up with Financial Intelligence tapes.  They watched DVD’s all the way and I didn’t get one:  Are We There Yet?

Until next time, I wish you Universal Success

Hello Fellow Bullhunters

This week in Australia and New Zealand we have commemorated the Anzacs and have honoured them by paying our respects for their bravery. For this reason we have had a short week which will be even shorter for me as I am heading off to Chris Howards NLP Breakthrough to Success seminar for the next three days.

I am writing this brief post and promise that I will deliver more for you next week.

For those of you who have downloaded Sean’s ebook The Bullhunters Guide to the US Stock Market you will remember on about page 19 or 20 - depending on how your computer counts the pages - Sean suggested that you form an Investment Club with about five friends and you each pick 5 or 6 stocks. This is a way for you to learn about the 30 stocks found in the Dow Jones (DJIA). If you have six players then each player will have five stocks. If you have five players then each will have six stocks.

In doing it this way you don’t have to do all the work yourself. I know there were a few interested parties when the book was first released and if you have followed through I was wondering if you can perhaps comment to let us know how it worked out.

For those who have recently come onboard and are interested in this would you set it up and come back and tell us about it. Make it so you put in a few dollars (or more) each and then you can award a prize to the winner of the game. The winner is the one whose stocks have risen the most as you can invest an imaginary $1000 on each stock.

It is interesting that in the past, I have always heard of groups of mainly women who get together and learn about the stock market and trading in this way.

I have been doing some research into trading platforms where you will be able to trial a free account just to get an idea of how to trade US stocks online. But more on that one next week.

For now let me know if any of you have formed an Investment Club and are willing to tell us about it. Every body learns from experience and that is what we are here to learn.
