Business Background

My Professional Background

I’m so grateful for my past failures in business as I have become the person I am today because of it.  I’m able to share with others what to do and what not to do and can relate to and appreciate the journey to success.

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 don’t have a college degree, but as you will see, I have a very entrepreneurial spirit.  I’m not the 9-5 type person.  It doesn’t flow with the free spirit inside of me.  You’ll also see that when I set my mind to something, I see it through.  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.

I created abundance in my life as a result of making a decision to do so.

 Abundance doesn’t just happen.  One needs to set out to create it with intention.  Here are some of the components of my success.

Commitment
Perseverance
Positive Attitude
Personal Development
Coaching
Implementing
Failing Forward
Being My Authentic Self
Enjoying My Journey
Having Patience
Determination
Problem Solving
Absolute Focus on my End Result

There is so much power within us all if we just knew how to discover it. We were created for greatness, each of us in our own right, to touch and impact the lives of others. We were created with all the parts we needed to succeed but somewhere along the way, we adopted belief systems that have kept us from reaching our full potential in life.My “Why” for desiring success so strongly was pretty simple

1)  I’m NOT the “punch a time card” 9-5 type.   It doesn’t work for me.
2)  I desire to be able to control my own schedule.
3)  I desire to have unlimited income potential.
4)  I desire to be available for my family, anytime, anywhere.|
5)  I desire to role model for my daughter how to be a strong & independent entrepreneur.
6)  I desire to spend an extraordinary amount of time and money on my hobby.
7)  I desire to contribute to charities and causes I believe in without consulting my checkbook.

I Never Went To College But I Had Desire To Make Something Of My Life

1977: Graduated from Palmdale High School in Palmdale, CA

1977 to 1980: Secretary

1985-1987: Ran a home daycare business.  Looked for new career to be around adults and professionals.

1988-1994: Legal Assistant.  Looked for new career because I had risen to the top of my pay scale and it was not providing for the lifestyle I desired.

1994-2006: Real Estate. I began my real estate career in 1994 and earned that 6-figure income within the first year. Over the years, I got “comfortable and secure” in what I did. My real estate practice had been good UNTIL the end of 2005, the market drastically turned. I went from having properties selling in hours to just sitting for weeks, months and NO end of sitting in sight.  

2006: I found myself basically out of work, yet all the marketing I put in place for the year still had to be paid. So bills were coming in without the income I was accustomed to.

 I turned to the internet to search for home based businesses.

2006-2007: Coastal Vacations (Home Based Business Opportunity).

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.  I learned many things through this costly ($35K) experience which included being gullible  about automated systems, not verifying it’s a brick and mortar business with real company leadership, not making sure there was a real product,  learning about who’s behind the website, making sure today’s marketing strategies are being taught, and having tools and resources for learning how to run my business

Fall of 2007: I decided to attend an internet marketing conference in Minnesota where respected online marketers would be sharing their strategies for success.  I learned so much at this conference. This is where I received light bulb moments including 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 became an affiliate for Global Resorts Network and within the first week, I was making sales.  With a much clearer game plan this time, I continued to market and stay in both personal development and education.  Education continued to be key.  Applied knowledge is power.

I continued to study from other industry leaders.  I was like a sponge, soaking up anything I could find.

ATTRACTION MARKETING

BECOMING A SOLUTIONS PROVIDER

UTILIZING MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME

AFFILIATE MARKETING

I began to implement all that I was learning from my coaching and study courses.  I would “learn and implement”.  Marketing and building your business is “on the job training” and I understood that.

Mike Klingler has an online university that provides step by step training so it made it very easy to get started the right way.

MY LIFE TODAY

Today I have multiple streams of income. 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’m so glad I stayed true to my dreams of having a successful online business. It would have been easier to just quit, but anyone who knows me will tell you I’m not a quitter. I found my failures made me more determined to succeed. I look at those as stepping stones to success. Again, it’s a mindset. I’m grateful for my experiences and now desire to mentor others to have the same success I have found.

I LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT EVERYTHING I DESIRED
TO ACCOMPLISH AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN MY LIFE,
WAS BASED ON A “DECISION” AND “TAKING ACTION”

It takes a desire to venture into new grounds and BOTH a time and financial investment to get started. It’s about making a decision and taking action. It’s really that simple.

My DECISION MAKING started 25 years ago when I had a daycare.

I DECIDED I needed to do something different.
I TOOK ACTION and did what I needed to do to become a legal assistant.

I DECIDED I needed to make a change to support a different lifestyle.
I TOOK ACTION and did what I needed to do to become a Realtor.

When the real estate market turned and stayed down,

I DECIDED I had to find another source of income so . . .
I TOOK ACTION and found an online opportunity.

I totally failed.

I DECIDED not to give up.  I pursed other biz opps.
I TOOK ACTION and this time achieved the desired results.

This is what 98% of people won’t do.

It was a series of decisions and deliberate action steps for me.

Anyone who truly wants to provide a living for their family with a business of their own can do so.  It’s about making a decision and taking the steps to do it.

Learning how to market is the greatest gift you can give yourself in business.
