Background

I have been involved in multi-level and network marketing since 1999 and internet marketing since 2004.

On November 1st 2005 I retired from the U. S. Air Force after more than 23 years of continuous active duty. I retired as a Senior Master Sergeant or E-8.

Well before I retired, I knew I didn’t want a job after the Air Force. You see, six years before I retired, my good friend Todd introduced me to network marketing and my eyes were opened to the possibility of NOT having a job or boss. Prior to that, I had never seriously considered such an idea.

Not that I didn’t think myself capable or worthy. I just wasn’t business minded. I didn’t have any examples of such people in my life. I had grown up middle class and I was in the military – neither the most entrepreneurial environment in the world, you know? Nevertheless, my paradigms had shifted.

It’s amazing what happened to my whole attitude once I started associating with a bunch of entrepreneurs. The kind of people who had broken out of the bubble I had apparently been living in. The kind who truly thought “outside the box” of ordinary, limitations-based thinking. The kind of people who knew the right questions to ask, took action and generated tremendous wealth as a result.

Really what it was - the people that inspired me so much - were free. I’m talking about the kind of freedom that can only be experienced in our country (or any other that I’m aware of) by having an abundance of money in combination with total control over your time. Money gives you additional options in life. Time IS life. Time is what we use to exercise our options, as dictated by our financial situation. So in essence - the more money, the more time. The more time, the more life. I wanted more life, and so I immersed myself in prosperity education.

I saw the fabulous lives of those multi-millionaire home-based business owners and was totally blown away. I was hooked! These were just ordinary folks who had diligently followed a well-designed business system and reaped the rewards. They took their businesses seriously and were able to fire their bosses. Many of them fired their kid’s teachers too, and brought in top-notch tutors to school their kids at home. They had all the toys, cars, boats and material things they wanted and they took as many as 10 vacations a year to exotic places. But the icing on the cake was - they only put in a few hours a week in their businesses. They lived their lives! So much more than anyone I’d ever heard of. They defined for me what “lifestyle” truly means.

Final Word

The super-successful people I spoke of earlier all had one thing in common to attribute their success and wealth to. And that was: They all had helped a lot of other people succeed.

That’s the most important lesson I learned from these folks. It’s the universal law of sowing and reaping. And so, like my wealthy role-models, it is integral to my life’s goals that I help as many people as I can to learn the wealth principles of the rich and create their own freedom. I plan on enjoying the ride…and the harvest. I hope you join me!
