My Story

Welcome to my blog!

My professional career has been littered with a combination of corporate world & entrepreneurial pursuits, mostly on the entrepreneurial side because I refused to accept the corporate ladder as my path. My corporate experiences had left me rather disenchanted, largely due to the lack of control over my life, & often, the directions the company was headed. My decision against corporate America was actually quite easy due to my concerns for family, friends, & lifestyle. I wanted to be in control of my time, my income, & my life. That wasn’t going to happen in the corporate world! Today’s economic climate makes that even more the case.

Thus, I have owned my own companies for a significant part of my career. I have enjoyed the control & freedom those endeavors have afforded me. However, those endeavors didn’t come without their own set of problems. Anyone that has owned their own business knows what I’m talking about. Seeking the necessary capital, long, long hours at times, & having to deal with some employees who often had their own agendas that were contrary to the company mission. And of course, then there was the risk.

The risk/reward ratio was always something that seemed favorable to me. That was, until my last venture. I owned a company for roughly 10 years & was a leader in the industry in my area. We built a company that was highly sought after & respected in our discipline. About 90% of our business was referral & repeat business. Due to that success, I decided to branch out & pursue other opportunities as well. I took my eye off the ball ever so slightly to concentrate on these other endeavors, & before I knew it, WHAM, I had a couple of key employees take me to the cleaners! Seven figures worth! Neither myself, nor my right hand man saw it coming. It wiped me out, financially & otherwise. I lost virtually everything! Business, house, retirement, confidence (temporarily), & standing in the community for a short period. Fortunately, I didn’t lose the things that mattered most, my faith, my family, & my friends, who all stood by me through thick & thin.

I had one state agency come after me HARD. They even filed criminal charges against me. Those charges were ultimately dropped, but not until I had gone through HELL & back trying to clear my name. My name was cleared, but the experience will stick with me forever.

The experience left me somewhat jaded about something I never envisioned being jaded about, owning my own business. Needless to say, I was in somewhat of a quagmire though, I had just been sandblasted & wasn’t sure I had the heart & stomach to start another venture again, not at that point anyway. Yet I couldn’t bare the thought of going back to the corporate world either! Depressed  & confused doesn’t remotely describe the condition I was in.

I ultimately signed on with a marketing firm that marketed executives & professionals, the leader in their industry. It was a good fit. My background & passion was in marketing, & this company is the very best in their field. However, for two & a half years, I was still working for someone else, running their game. Even though I enjoyed what I did, & loved the clients I worked with, I found myself less than excited about going to the office every day where I had very little control over my life or my job. The passion & zeal I had for years with my own gigs, just wasn’t there. I was miserable. But, in today’s economic climate, the opportunities to run my own show again were bleak. Capital just isn’t flowing like it used to.

Then one day, one of my wife’s clients asked what I was doing for a living, knowing I had owned my own businesses for years. She answered, & said I was absolutely miserable & was looking to get out on my own again. He suggested that she set up a meeting between he & I to explore a very interesting proposition. The juices started flowing, I was excited about the possibilities, but what was it? We met. His proposition? A Network Marketing opportunity. What?

I had been approached seemingly a hundred times throughout my career regarding MLM’s & Network Marketing, either for me to get involved, or friends & family seeking advice on what I thought about the opportunities. Although the underlying principles were always very intriguing & often very solid as well,  it was just never my bag. First of all, most of their marketing plans were unimaginative & frankly pathetic. Contact your “100″, a list of family, friends, & colleagues. Hold open house meetings. Learn & impliment the “three foot” rule. If you had the dough, you could purchase leads that were often old, stale, & virtually worthless. Some had crappy, cookie-cutter websites promoting their business. WooooHoooo! Who wouldn’t be excited about getting involved with that?

Then there was the premise of trying to “sell” & “convince” these folks as to why you had the best business, best opportunity for great wealth, &  last but not least, the very best product known to mankind! Your product would revolutionize the world, only to learn a few months later that someone else had come out with a product (a better berry, plant, or system only found in the nether most regions of outer Mongolia, in which they owned all the land) that really would revolutionize the world ! I’m not saying that some of these aren’t legitimate, but c’mon, what a racket!

Science & the marketplace have evolved to such a point these days that it often doesn’t matter what kind of a product you have or how good it may be, if it is that good, someone can reverse engineer it, make it even better, & all the sudden, you’re old news with you and/or your downline bailing to the “new” opportunity if the proper safegaurds aren’t in place. Does a lot for credibility huh? Is it any wonder why most roll their eyes & try to avoid one presenting these opportunities today? Regardless of how good the product is or the opportunity, most just simply can’t take that leap or if they do, don’t last.

I was almost immediately hooked on the basic business model, but what about the antiquated marketing model? I had always believed in the underlying principles of Network Marketing but wondered why most were stuck in the ”old school” methods of marketing. And then it happened! As I was researching for better ways to make this happen, something I really believed in, the marketing leaders & mentors I had been seeking for finally walked into my life, & it was GAME OVER at that point!

They taught me how to permanently solve every problem new entrepreneurs/MLM/Network Marketing professionals struggle with in the Home Business & Direct Marketing industry. What? It’s the human variable…..virtually eliminated.

Prospecting, selling, convincing – ELIMINATED

Cold calling, selling  your friends & family – ELIMINATED

Large up front investment – ELIMINATED

Inventories to manage & carry – ELIMINATED

Mickey Mouse home businesses – NEVER

Massive PASSIVE income potential – YES

I was absolutely blown away! Finally, someone who really understood marketing! Where were these guys for all these years I was thinking to myself? This truly IS revolutionary!

They have taught me EXACTLY what they were doing to make millions of dollars per year with only two legs, how they were attracting qualified leads to their business, how they were actually building their MLM/Network Marketing empires without a great deal of effort. The impact on my life has been astounding on many different levels.

You see, if you’re not making money in your sleep, then you’re not using “leverage” & will find it nearly impossible to ever aquire true wealth.

So, all of that being said, I can teach you all I know about making money with this phenomenal system if you’re serious enough to take action. Once you understand the leverage & marketing concepts  my team & I will teach you, you will see how fun & virtually effortless this can be. But as the old saying goes, “you can lead a man to knowledge, but you can’t make him think”. It’s all about choices we make in life. The choice is yours. Choose wisely!

To your success.
