I'm on the skeptical side here. How Anne-Marie and Sean can say that 14k in 1 year is "well on the way" to 85k in 2 years is totally beyond me. Maybe the rules of arithmetic have changed recently.

The whole thing seems rather obsessive. I keep on asking WHY? Life is for living, not for making money. Do the kids appreciate having parents working round the clock?
And WHO can actually junk their career and take on a new one paying twice as much? Not many of us I suspect.

OK, good luck to the participants. But I prefer Alvin Hall. The advice he gives can be taken by almost all of us.

Seems to say it all.

I actually prefer Martin :rotfl:

We are well on the way because in the first year we also speculated a lot of money to enable me to get my business off the ground.

About the children: I agree that if we both worked around the clock it would have an adverse effect on them, but we realised this some time ago so we are now concentrating on just my business ventures.

I also think that many people get into a rut and just plod along doing their normal job and are too frightened to do anything else, well like you said life is for living, so do as many things as you can in your life. I couldn't personally work for someone else until i'm 65, hence why i'm doing something like this.

If I hadn't taken the plunge and tried my hand at stage hypnotism how would I know if I could do it or not?

You must have achievable goals! What's stopping you from doing something else? Is it fear of the unknown?

I have been a milkman, undertaker, window cleaner, canal clearer, window fabricator, assistant shop manager, cruise director, entertainment manager, adult compere, comedian, hypnotist,neuro linguistic programmer, and until tomorrow a customer accounts manager for a bank. I've also lived in Tenerife for 3 years, been married 3 times, have 4 children and a grandaughter and i'm only 40.
If i died tomorrow I would not have any regrets about my time on this earth :j

I hope this answers your questions.

Sean Casey-Poole
p.s I have the greatest woman in the world behind me, that's Anne-Marie :A

Woh, Nice one Sean!
I've often said that I wish I had the capacity to earn extra money, Saturday mornings overtime at work aren't even achievable these days (not where I work anyway).
For fear of repeating myself - good on you guys. You've come over better and presented the best programme in the series so far.
Keep it going.
