/ HELLO AND WELCOME. ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF VERY BRIEFLY.  MY NAME IS DEREK SMITH. I AM 35 YEARS OLD, BORN AND RAISED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO. FEW THINGS THAT I ENJOY IN LIFE ARE TRAVELING, TRAVELING AND TRAVELING. AMONG ALL OF THOSE CHARACTERISTICS, I AM HUMBLE, HUNGRY AND A THANKFUL PERSON. ESPECIALLY TO GOD AND FOR MY UPBRINGING, TO HAVE HAD A CHANCE OF FINDING THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE AND ACCOMPLISHING MANY GOALS. ONE THING THAT I WANTED IN LIFE WAS TO CREATE WITH OUT BEING CONTROLLED OR LIMITED. OVER THE COURSE OF MY LIFE, I SPENT TIME AND MONEY ON DEGREES AND HAD MANY WELL PAID JOBS. HOWEVER, I COULDN’T SEE MYSELF IN THE 40/40/40 LIFE PLAN. MEANING, WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK, WORK FOR 40 YEARS AND RETIRE ON 40% OF THAT EARNED INCOME.  I HAD TO  CHANGE AND GET OUT OF THE RAT RACE. AFTER MANY YEARS,  IM ALL IN. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT, BUT IS NOT. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT TRAVELING BUT ALSO TEACHING PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN LIFE. NOW I SPEND MY TIME CREATING MEMORIES WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HENCE, THE ROUTE I CHOSE TO FOLLOW. A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES WHILE I SLEEP. 

NOW, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
