There I was, tears streaming down my face as I knelt down next to my son’s bottom bunk bed in the back room of our 1984 single-wide trailer house, praying for a miracle.
I’d just finished reading my 2 oldest sons their nightly bedtime stories and watched them drift off to sleep.
As I stared down at those 2 angelic faces, I started to cry because it hit me that I was failing as a husband, father & provider.
Life had punched me in the gut and dropped me to my knees, literally.
I’d been through 14 different business failures.
I wondered what on earth could be causing all of these struggles?
I’d even come up with the idea that maybe I hadn’t yet succeeded because I’d been trying to find my success part time, while holding down a full time job.
With the encouragement of my supportive wife Corene, I had decided to quit my job and go for my dreams full time.
Much to my surprise, after 6 months of going at it with everything I had, I found myself in an even worse position.
We were living off of savings, which were dwindling fast, and my business income had actually decreased from it’s already meager amount, despite 6 months of full time and overtime effort.
One day while I was feverishly working in my trailer-house office, surrounded by brown 70’s style paneled walls, I heard my wife’s suburban pull in the driveway.
She’d just come home from a 2 week check up where she’d taken our newly born 3rd son, Kyson, to see the doctor.
I arose from my office chair to meet her in the living room where she was in tears.
In between sobs and hugs she told me that our new baby had a head condition called Craniosynostosis which meant that the bones in his head were prematurely fused together.
He needed a $50,000 surgery down at primary children’s hospital.
I wrapped my sobbing wife in my arms and told her “Honey, everything will be ok,” but the truth was, I was scared and had no idea what was in store for our little family.
And that’s why I found myself down on my knees with tears streaming down my face that night, doing the only other thing I could possibly think to do in that moment, to find a solution for my family.
I remember a set of instructions that came to my mind.
I don’t recall hearing a voice or seeing a vision or anything like that.
I just knew, deep down inside, that I was supposed to pull the book A Very Specific Book off my bookshelf and begin a serious study.
This felt a bit strange to me because certainly, I’d read this particular book before.
Usually I’d finish it up, say to myself “Man that’s a great book,” put it back on my bookshelf and then dive into the next read.
I knew that this had to be different.
I was supposed to study, understand and apply what this book had to teach me.
Francis Bacon once wrote “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”
I knew, deep down for the first time, that this, was one of those rare books that fell into the latter part of this description.
And so I set to work.
I marked the pages, I folded the corners and I highlighted passages.
I committed to follow each instruction as if my life depended on it (and in a sense, maybe it did.)
Each night beneath the Idaho stars, I would walk up and down my driveway implementing the somewhat mystical instructions from the book.
After a few weeks, I began to feel something change inside me.
I was becoming someone different.
It used to be that I always hoped this business or that idea would work for me.
I wished it, I prayed it and I begged it.
This was different.
I knew, deep down inside, that that money was waiting for me with absolute certainty.
It was already in existence, in other people’s bank accounts and all I had to do was perform the service necessary to transfer it from their accounts to mine.
I began to speak differently and show up differently in my business.
It was as if faith permeated my entire existence and a subtle something, had showed up to help me.
I remember hearing Jim Rohn say one time that “some people claim faith doesn’t exist because you can’t see it. That would be like saying radiation doesn’t exist. We know radiation exists because it has an affect, and it’s the same with faith.”
I felt like I knew exactly what Mr. Rohn was talking about.
This inner transformation, combined with what I was learning about Online Marketing led to the first big miracle.
In a 6 month period of time, the exact amount of money that I’d been seeing in my mind’s eye showed up in my bank account.
In fact, I was only $2 off due to a check processing fee.
My dream of $3,000 per month, residual income, FINALLY, popped into my bank account. I had $1,500 from an online marketing training system I was promoting and another $1,498 in residuals from a network marketing company I was representing.
The miracles continued, the business prospered and new and exciting dreams were realized for myself and my family one after another.
I went on to become the #1 rep in my network marketing company…
And was also continuing to create success in affiliate marketing…
Thanks to this newfound success, we were able to move out of the trailer-house, buy our dream home in the country and even payoff the mortgage, along with all our other debt.
This whole time, we were also applying principles of financial literacy we’d learned from some of our mentors, and investing in income producing assets so we could continue to grow our residual income.
This led to me being able to retire, debt free in my early 40’s!
WAHOOOOOOOOO!!
This has been such a HUGE blessing for my family, allowing me to spend so much quality time with my wife and 4 sons.
I’m SOOOOOO thankful to be here and filled with gratitude for all of my mentors and people who have poured into me to help me create a life of freedom that’s filled with people and experiences that I love.
I can honestly say, it wasn’t easy to get to this place in life, but it was TOTALLY worth it!
One surprising thing I discovered over this journey is that I still find myself wanting to work and serve others, even though it’s no longer a financial requirement.
Bob Marley once said “Some people are so broke, all they have is money.”
I’ve realized that money is just one portion of the ‘riches‘ we get to build and experience in life.
Another is the sense that we are contributing to the lives of others and adding something good to the world every day we’re on this planet.
I’ve found that If I do this, I feel good about myself and have a sense of satisfaction and this brings me happiness.
I guess that brings me to YOU and how I might be able to help you and your journey.
I’m looking for good hearted people who have a desire to learn, grow and add value to the world as they create more freedom in their lives.
The financial goal is FREEEEEEEDOM, which to me means, getting to a space where you have enough residual income coming in consistently to cover all of your expenses.
At this point, your time is disconnected from your money and your time is yours.
This what I want to help others achieve.
Over my 20 year journey, I’ve learned there are many ways to accomplish this goal, but generally speaking it boils down to 2 big categories.
- Principle centered ways
- Non principle centered ways
Principle centered just means, you build your financial wealth in ways that help everyone and don’t hurt anyone.
With home business and online marketing here are some of the things I’ve found that tend to hurt….
- Lying to people
- Hyping things up to seem much bigger than they actually are
- Selling things that are WAY more expensive than they need to be so that people are set back on their journey’s rather than helped forward
- Having or promoting a short term mentality… Here today, gone tomorrow, jumping around from business to business to business, promoting “get rich quick” mindset, etc.
If you’re into any of those things, and not willing to change, I’m probably not for you.
If, on the other hand, you’re a fan of,
- Dreaming
- Goal setting
- Work & service
- Persistence
- Honesty
- Character
- Truth
- Growth
- Making a REAL difference
- Leveraging your time and talents to earn more and serve more
You’re my people and I might be yours! 🙂
I have a strong desire deep in my heart to help others learn and apply the lessons that made the difference for me and my family, and I’m serious about helping you if you’re serious about building freedom in your life.
So who exactly can I help with what I teach and can my stuff help you?
- Anyone currently building a home business (network marketing or affiliate marketing)
- Anyone who wants to learn how to build an online business and grow a residual income from home.
It doesn’t matter if you have ZERO experience or have failed for long periods of time like I did.
If you’re willing to learn something new and/or change something that you do, I believe you can create success no matter what’s happened in the past.
So, all that being said, what are some good next steps, if you’d like to go on this journey with me.
