How would you feel today if you knew you were ready and resilient enough to survive the hardest challenges of life, regardless of what they might be?

- Discover how to gain more abundance with less money.

- Feel confident and prepared to face hard situations that everyone will inevitably face.

"I think so many times in life we are looking for good times to make us better people. We are looking for a good economy, better jobs, and longer vacations when in reality it isn't those things that make us our best selves but rather it's what we choose to take away from the difficult times." - Jeremy Chamberlain (page 45)

"It was so difficult to trust the current. Finally, as we arrived at the end of the river trip we looked around us in amazement. There was a green meadow surrounded by beautiful trees covered with vibrant orange blossoms . . . It was one of the most beautiful sights we had ever seen. We sat there in awe, taking in the feeling and beauty of the scene in front of us. It was then we realized the current was only bringing us to paradise and trusting the current would've allowed us both to enter this paradise relaxed instead of exhausted from fighting the current." - Laraine Chamberlain (Page 49)

His volatile career in IT sales and business development proved to be a "feast or famine" proposition for Chuck, his wife, and their six children. In addition, he struggled for decades to overcome a childhood history of sexual abuse and bullying. Now, as a healed husband, father, and grandfather, he looks back on a professional and personal life marked by extreme highs and lows; from life as a top 2% wage earner to life as an unemployed, disabled and depressed "victim," and back again. Having survived the kind of pain and suffering felt by so many, he has learned ways to survive and thrive. Now, he is a teacher and lecturer on leadership principles and a certified CJEA (Creative Journal Expressive Arts) practitioner.

Choosing to be a fulltime mother, Laraine spent her "spare" time in various volunteer leadership roles. She worked as a volunteer coordinator at a youth detention center for over ten years. Teaching life skills to troubled teenagers, she made sure each was loved and treated with care. She also served on the national executive board of American Mothers Inc. for eight years. Laraine has led and mentored many groups of young mothers throughout the country. She has organized, facilitated and taught several women's and couples retreats. She and her husband are certified in the CJEA (Creative Journal Expressive Arts) program developed by Dr. Lucia Capacchione. For more than ten years, Laraine has specialized in working with personal clients, helping them gain greater emotional health and emotional literacy. She has also worked closely with her husband in providing retreats and workshops, including court-ordered anger management classes, support for birth mothers giving up babies for adoption, marriage enhancement retreats, stress reduction seminars for employees of a large telecommunications firm, and health enhancement workshops for private groups.

As a young father of (now) three small children, Jeremy and his generation sit at the center of this chaotic world's "impact zone." While learning to cope, he is not only engaged in establishing a professional path, but has the added pressure of steering a family, which makes his perspective as relevant as that of any reader of this book. He feels the same fears, suffers through the same challenges, has the same questions, and shares the same hopes and desires of a bright future for himself and his family. He has a business degree with international concentration and enjoys traveling with his wife. While being a full-time dad takes most of his time, he focuses his "working hours" on building passive income through investments and business ventures.
