Business Background

My Professional Background

It may seem odd to start sharing my background by saying I’m very grateful for my past failures in business, however, I realize that I have become the person I am today because of them.  I’ve learned to become strong through my weaknesses and I’m grateful for my family and friends that have always supported me in my dreams.

I’m not a 9-5 type person. Working for others gives me a sense of claustrophobia.  It limits my potential in life.  I feel tied down and kept back from freedom.   I don’t like having a boss dictate my lifestyle and it truly doesn’t flow with the free spirit inside of me.

I’m a very determined individual and because I’m comfortable with who I am, it’s easy for me ignore negative energy that comes into my life.  This has allowed me to fully explore and enjoy solo entrepreneurship.

In the past, I worked for various law firms in Las Vegas, NV and while I enjoyed the work very much, once you get to the top of your pay scale, you have to settle for whatever that provides.  That was not going to cut it for me.

I pursued a real estate career and did very well.  For 13 years I enjoyed the rewards of building a real estate business and it provided a very comfortable lifestyle.

Until….. the market crashed.  The economy had handed me a pink slip and after a few months, I began feeling the crunch of my reality.  The real estate marketing advertising contracts I had put in place for the year still had to be paid. So bills were coming in without the income I was accustomed to.

I needed to find a replacement income and began searching online for answers.  The idea of network marketing interested me and without any due diligence I jumped into one which turned out to be a terrible mistake.

This would be what I call “paying tuition” on what not to do. I readily admit that I had not done the due diligence required to ensure I was making a financially sound decision.  It took me roughly 8 months and $35K to figure out what a mistake I had made.

At this point I knew to put my business hat on and began  a journey of education.  I attend an internet marketing conference in Minnesota where respected online marketers would be sharing their strategies for success.  This is where I received light bulb moments along with the blueprint for internet marketing.  I left feeling overwhelmed, but at least I had the truth now.  The blueprint was much bigger than I ever imagined but I also learned that one can just become good at one or two marketing ideas and they can achieve great results.

I did come away, knowing for sure I had made the right decision to keep moving forward on my path.

Back on my feet and running this time

Now that I had something I could really work with in terms of marketing, I got back in the game and joined a network marketing company doing things the right way this time.  Everything changed.  With a much clearer game plan this time, I began a successful journey in online entrepreneurship.  Education  is key and applied knowledge is power.

Fast Forward Today

Today I’m enjoying a more fulfilling life than ever before.  I’m able to spend as much time with my family as I desire and have the freedom to make choices about my daily life.  I absolutely love what I do.

I’m so glad I stayed true to my dreams of having a successful online business. It certainly would have been easier to just quit after making that big blooper mistake, but anyone who knows me will tell you I’m not a quitter. I found my failures made me more determined to succeed, they fuel my fire. I look at those as stepping stones to success.   It’s really a mindset. I’m grateful for my experiences and now desire to mentor others to have the same success I have found.
