Book Cover & Preview Text
America was founded by individuals who worked towards a dream. America grew by people who recognized opportunity and respected risk. You can do the same. By knowing what your dream is and by using the opportunities that our country provides, you can work towards a life based on your values instead of a life that chases advertisements. You can do it simply by using your own skills, adding a few new ones, and being willing to take on a bit of risk. Pioneers have continually looked for opportunities by exploring our borders and our seemingly empty territories. They changed their lives by taking control of their lives. Their independence freed them from the control and constraints imposed by others. It was risky, scary, and not guaranteed, but the reward was the ability to live their life rather than mimicking someone else’s. Back then the frontiers were land. Today the frontiers are knowledge. Wagon trains and railroads opened the West. Discount brokers opened today’s stock markets. The Internet opened the world of information. Homesteading a piece of land took an immense commitment and life threatening risks for the chance to live a free life. Investing on your own can provide freedom with far less risk and far less commitment. And it is much easier than trying to survive a Nebraska winter in a sod house.

About the Book
Define your dreams. Invest your money. Live your life.
Define your own dream, and you can ignore the trappings most people chase. Invest your money yourself, and you can take advantage of your skills and experiences. Respecting your own knowledge and working to a clear goal that you defined gives you an advantage over the investment titans.
America’s pioneers understood the rewards available to those who also understood risk and the frontier. They built better lives for themselves. They can be role models for those of us in this modern world. Properly balancing your money, your goals, and your time can let you live a life now while you journey towards your dream. Pioneers had to bounce along in a covered wagon and survive brutal winters. Our journeys don’t have to be as risky and can be much more rewarding.
