Hello Everyone,

I met Justin Lukasavige about 4 years ago as a referral from Dave Ramsey. Justin helped my new wife, Rachel, and I setup an automated budgeting system and cash management system that was very intelligent and a great model (can't say we're the best at following the prescribed approach, but when we stray, we know what we should be doing to get back on track thanks to Justin!).

Last year I launched a software development and consulting company using many of the principles that Justin talks about here and in his podcasts. That business has progressed rather well, yet its not my passion. What I discovered while planning, launching, marketing and growing this business is that I was deeply passionate about the process of planning, launching, marketing and growing businesses - and helping other people do the same thing.

To that end, I have recently launched http://www.smallbizcopilot.com to help small businesses use technology to help plan, launch, market and grow a business they're passionate about.

Many great thanks to Justin for all of his inspiration and kind words!

Blessings,
Scott Priestley

Justin is an old friend of mine from high school. When I found him on Facebook I was surprised to learn he was successfully running a business (Lukas Coaching) that was helping people do the very things I feel passionate about.
I’m the husband of a beautiful woman and the father of two amazing boys. My “day” job is a firefighter/paramedic.
I have a lot of questions concerning personal finances. I hope that through this site I’ll be able to get my questions answered while helping to answer questions others may have.

I'm a mom of 6, two of which are adopted from Haiti, grandma of soon to be 4, and wife of, well, 1.
I've been a stay at home mom for years...and years. I'm in the process of studying what I have always been
interested in and am on the brink of figuring out what it is that I'm going to do with it. Meaning, I want to take my passion and use it to help others and make some income off it. 'Cause my husband and I also have a dream... To travel with our two youngest boys in an RV and live like irresponsible gypsies! Thing is...my husband's work doesn't travel well (milking cows), so I'd like my passion/work to fund our dream in part. That's where Justin comes in... and after talking to him things seem to be snowballing and I'm on here. So, that's a bit about me.
I look forward to learning from the rest of you!
