Growth
Growth is what occurs when life is expanding in the correct direction!
I'm just a normal guy with a phenomenal life because I take action every day to make my life phenomenal.
To embrace extraordinary - An individual takes personal ACTION every day, making each and every decision to be an extortionary MUST!
Below is a small glance into my life and who i am besides the owner and creator of New Waters Market LLC
(This bit about me is not a brag, I lead by example! Many individuals think they are stuck in circumstances and have no time for making a change in their life!
It is my experience that you do not have the time NOT to make the change that will effect the rest of your life ~ START SOMETHING NEW AT NEW WATERS MARKET!)
My life ~ was miserable!
I NEEDED TO MAKE A CHANGE!
I NEEDED TO START SOMTHING NEW!
It was 2017,
At 40 years old, I looked in the proverbial mirror and did not like what my reflection told me about MYSELF!
Overweight!
Working more than I was home!
My relationship with my spouse had become stressful for both of us and reduced to living as roommates, and arguments became the normal, which contributed to my work addiction!
Every month, I felt like I was drowning in debt and bills!
Clearly ~ there was too much month at the end of the money!
My life was miserable!
I, like so many other individuals played the victim and blamed my circumstances!
Not realizing, in reality, that helpless feeling of not knowing how to fix my circumstances was exactly why I felt like my life was miserable ~ I NEEDED CHANGE!!!!
A MINDSET CHANGE!!!!
I soon came across a life changing truth that would forever change my mindset moving forward forever!
"THE ONLY CHANGE I WILL EVER HAVE THE ABSOLUTE POWER OVER ~ IS CHANGE WITHIN MYSELF"
I NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND I COULDNT MAKE ANYONE ELSE CHANGE!!!
THE CHANGE HAD TO HAPPEN WITHIN MYSELF!!!!
ALTHOUGH MISERABLE, I also knew that my life, was not over!
I just needed to do something different in order to bring meaning and positive vibes back into my life!
Talk about a midlife crisis!
Life is a gift, and I wasn't going to forfeit THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFE any longer!
I knew it was time to START SOMTHING NEW!
If you've been invited or directed to this website, more than likely it was through either a personal invitation by myself, or perhaps one of my online profiles on social media or even a business card I've left for someone like you to find!
Without trying to make this website about myself, I can only offer this short section intended to inspire visiting clients like yourself, by offering this short look into my personal experience of how I needed to redirect my own mindset regarding change.
See,
I know what it's like to need change regardless of what life circumstances seem to be interrupting the internal happiness that might be desired!
The problem I remember having is not knowing where to find the answers that I personally needed to develop the change ~ that I desired!
I felt stuck in the circumstances that I molded my life around!
Welcome to the consequences of becoming an adult ~ right?
All those life decisions came back to bite me in my own ass!
Don't laugh, I'm not the only one with problems like these!
I am betting you might have some issues you're not too fond of either concerning your own circumstances!
Worse than feeling stuck in my circumstances, I was under the illusion that what I wanted was for my circumstances to change for me!
I wanted my spouse to change,
I wanted immediate weight loss results,
I wanted financial gains often buying random lottery tickets in hopes of a windfall!
Respect, Love, Money, More Freedom - Both Finacial and Personal Freedom!
Thats what I needed!
I just didn't know how to develop these wants into reality!
Like a good stiff punch to the nose, one day I read or rather listened to an audio book that would forever change my mindset, putting me on the pathway, the journey, the voyage into the vast waters of change!
This One Audio Book turned into another audio book, and another, and eventually a library of life changing knowledge.
As a trucker by day job, I've really come to appreciate the Audible app through my amazon account!
I've spent plenty of time listening to novels and book series of the fiction type such as Game of Thrones, Outlander, Eragon and the like kind of entertainment style of stories listening mile after mile via audio books.
The Book and Author that really paved the road to my personal development is Robert Kiyosaki's "RICH DAD POOR DAD"
Link-> https://amzn.to/3GpyOpd
I literally listened to this one book 19 times throughout the last 5 years, each time gleaning new insight from the wealth of information within.
That was before I found out Robert authored more books in the Rich Dad series! I soon found a whole library of information and a different way of thinking!
Since I started this life changing growth mindset, Now I've found my own self development is much more important to me than myself being merely entertained by novels!
See,
I was taught, In order to become successful ~ I should work hard for my money and by doing so I would reap the benefits of my labor!
Get a good job that pays well, a job that has good benefit's and earn the vacation time, putting in the years of service, contributing to the retirement plan!
The reality of that plan is to work hard while young and retire at 67 years of age ~ If I live that long and HAVE FUN WORKING MY LIFE AWAY AS I GET OLD!
REALLY?
THATS THE BULLSHIT WE ARE NURTURED INTO BELIEVING FROM A YOUNG AGE?
THATS THE PLAN FOR SUCCESS?
Secretly,
I look forward to HAVING FUN trying to escape from the nurses that will have charge of me, and daily trying to outsmart the exit alarms on the elderly care facility that goes along with THE PLAN OF HAVING FUN GETTING OLD!
I say this jokingly because as a younger me in today's life, my job, I deliver to such elderly care facilities and see the behind scenes daily! Sometimes those old folks give me a good laugh until I realize that is what the plan is for me as well!
WOW - HOW SAD!
MISERABLY SAD!
Work hard for my money and by doing so I can reap the benefits of my labor ~ In the nursing home!
Sound familiar?
PLEASE,
PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!
I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO QUESTIONS THEIR FUTURE!
Weve all - learned this way of life outlook from our parents, and our schoolteachers!
Why in the world ~ were we not taught to make our money work hard for us in our youth, and the freedom that passive income vs earned income offers in order to enjoy life as young adults?
Of course this book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" was just the spear tip that would pierce my hard headed mindset starting with my financial I.Q.
Seriously, I had no clue that I was that ironically clueless about my own financial circumstances!
Eventually over the years I have learned of new instructional courses via audio books and authors I follow, such as Toney Robins , Tom Wheelwright, Napolean Hill, Donald Trump and others - that would in time help my personal development growth in my personal relationships, my weight loss and control, my financial I.Q. and way to much to offer here as description of how much my life has changed by investing in my own self by the grace of these authors knowledge and experience!
My goal with this website is to help people just like me or at least similar to my own circumstances, by offering a little guidance and direction!
Because sometimes the hardest part of a life changing experience is getting started on the right path!
Finding that path, can be a chore in itself!
I had the help of many authors that would put me on the right path or journey of my own self development, but it took a while to find those authors!
A list and the direct links to these most valuable books, can be found under "The Best Audio Books" below in the blue tab or in the home menu!
Please save this website and make frequent reference for maintaining motivation as well as focus on your own growth!
I hope this website can be of assistance for all who are looking for change!
I do suggest for starting out with 4 books all authored by Robert Kiyosaki, 1- The Rich Dad Poor Dad Book, 2- Cash Flow Quadrant, 3- Increase Your Finacial I.Q., and 4- Rich Dads Guide To Investing!
All of the Rich Dad Advisor Series Will Be Well Worth Your Time Listening To!
I would also suggest starting out with "Unleash The Power Within" by Tony Robins and all of the other extremely inspiring and motivational books by Anthony (Tony) Robins such as "Unshakeable" and "Money Master The Game"
"Unleash The Power Within" by Tony Robins

Its time to start something NEW!
This is my Wife, Crenna!
Crenna and I started a conversation over a Facebook post ironically about the lifestyle and freedoms of being single, In late November of 2018 ~ that conversation would eventually end both of our single lifestyle's and link our life path together and becoming life partners 08/08/2020!
Every day is a beautiful chaos as we expand this extraordinary & phenomenal life we share!
2ND I AM A FATHER
I have 2 natural born bio (now adult) children from a previous marriage - one of which is my son Cole standing next to my left side.
My Daughter Calla is unfortunately not in the photo.
I am a step father to my wife's natural born bio (now adult) son Jacob pictured standing to furthest to the right of his mother in the photo.
I am step father to 2 adopted (now adult) daughters Jasamine standing to the right of her mother, in front of me, And Jah'lell standing to the left of my wife between her and Jacob ~ both adopted previous to my wife and myself being a thing!
My wife Crenna and I recently adopted 2 boys in 2023 both age 6 at time of adoption, through the Michigan foster care agency who needed a family to call their own. Both are special needs as is our adopted daughter Jasamine as well. Koda is severely autistic ~ nonverbal and Bradley is total care with brain damage due to his birth mothers' drug and alcohol use during the pregnancy.
I drive a semi truck and deliver freight for my day job!
I work for an LTL company running from lower Michigan (Kalamazoo) to Northern Michigan (Traverse City) 5 days a week / home nights & weekends! I am a delivery driver bumping 20 docks a day plus or minus around Traverse City, and then drive back to Kalamazoo!
I make very good money with my driving career, So one might ask why i need to create a website and try to make more money?
Robert Kiyosaki made a statement in his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" that kind of punched me in my nose!
"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINEESS"!
Why would i want to drive my semi until I'm 67 years old helping my employer build his financial empire, and not pay attention to my own dreams of personal freedom, location freedom, financial freedom, passive recurring income at a young age?
I have my own dreams to build! I assume you might as well!
This is my purpose in creating this website!
Because if i can do all of this and live this extraordinary life ~ so can you!
Did you notice i have a guitar in my hand? Its not just a prop!
Music is yet another passion i have and yet another brand i utilize in creativity to enhance my life!
Besides brainstorming song lyrics while passing mile markers by in my semi, and practicing covers often in the semi trailer on my 30 minute lunch break, My band RebelSlave meets on Thursday nights for a 2 hour practice weekly. We call this time "MUSIC THERAPY"!
A time where we can forget about the daily grind and just freely enjoy our passion of creating music!
Starting Back In 2013 Our Band Name Inspires The Need For Freedom From Being Enslaved To Our Jobs And Needing Money ~ MUSIC IS OUR FREEDOM!
If you have been reading my story above, I mentioned I was miserable in my introduction.
Although the way the intro was written to seek the attention of my clients considering the financial cause of being miserable, there was so much truth to that statement in other forms of being miserable as well!
Have you ever heard the old-time radio host Paul Harvey's famous tag line: "And Now ~ For The Rest Of The Story"?
Well friends,
Now for the rest of the story!
I actually wrote a book on the subject of being miserably frustrated.
Matter of fact, I wrote this book as a healing project for myself with the intention to help others like me, trying to cope with the frustrations of trying to be understanding and yet miserably failing inside a relationship taxed by medical issues!
Also, I was hoping to help individuals like my ex-wife understand the frustrations of their significant other!
Have you ever seen that meme where two individuals are looking down at a number that from different perspectives see either a 6 or a 9?
Well, I guess my point was to help another individual like myself or individuals like my ex-wife ~ see the alternate perspective and frustrations of someone who doesn't mind sharing their own weakness publicly!
Look, I'm not at all proud of my past, This Book Is Far From Being A Boast!
And yet it, is a past that I have healed from, and I wrote the book in my healing process to hopefully fill the perspective glance into someone's life with similar frustrations!
With all my heart, I too wish healing upon my ex-wife ~ both physical healing as well as emotional healing!
I authored this book,
Under the Sudi name LeRoy MilDred,
(My fathers middle name Leroy & My mothers middle name Mildred)
I thought it was a brilliant name to use, and also respectfully included the individuals responsible for bringing me into this world!
I Created a name that I felt comfortable NOT bringing unwanted attention to my ex-wife out of respect for her during a troublesome time of treading through divorce proceedings.
The following text is directly from the back of this book:
If you’re reading the back of this book right now, you are no doubt pondering why exactly you should invest your time into reading this publication.
I’ll make this as simple as I can for you dear reader, by asking you a couple leading questions to reflect upon your own life reality!
Have you ever experienced any of the following:
Pain during sexual intercourse, Pain during urination, Pain from a recurring bladder infection or urinary tract infection, Loss of sex drive, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship problems in general, Sexually starved relationship, Sexless relationship, Sexual frustration in general, Lack of intimacy in a relationship?
Dear reader, if you said “yes” to any of the above questions, then you probably should read this book!
If none of the above resonates with you personally, then there is probably no need for you personally to read this book!
It’s that simple folks!
Sincerely,
LeRoy MilDred
This book is only available as a digital copy available on kindle or compatible reading apps
