The Real Ryan Joyce

Ryan R Joyce is an entrepreneur by heart and by trade. He loves the freedom and fulfillment that self employment offers. He hasn't worked for someone else since early 2005 and he wouldn't want it any other way. Nothing is more rewarding for him than to take charge of his own life on his own terms. He believes life is truly awesome and should be for all to enjoy.

"Working for myself allows me to do what I want, when I want. Life is truly awesome and should be for all to enjoy on their own terms."

Ryan grew up in Dearborn, MI for roughly the first 25 years of his life and he now lives in beautiful Southern California. He truly loves being an entrepreneur and wouldn't ever look back at working for someone again. His eyes first opened to the reality and possibilities of financial freedom when he read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Ryan's whole perspective and focus changed because of that book. It was during his sophomore year in college when he read it first. The book defied the traditional notion of "go to school, get a good job, save your money for retirement" and instead opened his eyes to taking charge of his life - working for himself and creating passive income so that he could enjoy the treasures in life such as time: time with friends, loved ones, family, etc. Because of that book he totally changed his major and career path.

Three years after college was when he moved to California and opened his first business - a tanning salon. He worked day and night at the salon for three more years trying to grind out profits and get himself out of the rat race. Now, compared with similar businesses it did pretty well, but after three years, he was still deep in debt and nowhere near the lifestyle he had envisioned for himself. That's when Ryan started searching for new opportunities and ways to make his situation work for him.

After months of no luck and continued struggle Ryan was finally forced into a cross road: either sell the salon that he put 4 years work into or put everything on the line - buy his partner out with borrowed money and figure out a way to make the salon work on his terms. Ryan knew that his success would be determined by bold action and the fear of failure only fueled him more to take such action.

Ryan continues to lead and mentor other individuals on how to use the power of will and determination to create their own destiny. He is a perfect example of how persistence and unrelenting passion will set you free.
