SERIES: I Was Broke. Now I’m Not. VALUES Part 1

Welcome to another series at JosephSangl.com – I Was Broke. Now I'm Not. VALUES

In this series, I will be sharing what drives me.  The stuff that lights me on fire for helping others with their personal finances.

1.  Life Change

Way back in December 2002 when Jenn and I made the decision to break free financially, it required life-changing decisions.  It took us fourteen months to become debt-free except for our house (we are within three years of paying off the house now).  Our lives were changed!

I have stated before that if you experience a life-changing experience, you will have a changed life!  It sounds basic to say it, but it is SO TRUE!  I experienced a life-changing experience of saying "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!" and our lives were changed.

Because of that series of life-changing events, I was able to fire myself from Corporate America in 2006 and embark on a crusade to help others experience this same life-changing stuff at NewSpring Church!

Now I have been on this crusade full-time for twenty months, and I have been able to teach this stuff to thousands of others.  And guess what?  I have seen the same life-change that has taken place in my life!  That AB-SO-LUTE-LY FIRES ME UP!!!!!!

Life change NEVER gets old!
