Do you really want success in your life and your business?

Most people don’t!  WHAT do I mean?

Most people die with their music still in them. Ben Franklin said, “Most men die at age 25, but they aren’t buried until age 65!”

What does this mean? I think what Ben meant was, when we give up on our dreams, we quit expecting to live the good life.

Twenty-five years in network marketing and achieving financial freedom by age 40 have taught us some valuable life lessons.

I promise you this, I can share with you how to accomplish a lifetime’s worth of work in only 2-3 years, part-time from your home, and on the internet.

Your time is your most valuable asset! It is our hope that the few minutes you spend reading my story will save you years of business failure and frustration.

Best selling author Jim Rohn says that traditional education will make you a living, while self-education and systems will make you rich. I’m proof positive of this fact, and why you must never, never quit, and never ever give up on your dreams!

My Real Story

I was born in 1951 into a large dysfunctional family and started out sleeping in the attic crawl space in a small frame house in Cleveland, Ohio.

I remember my mother beating me at age 4 in her kitchen, after I told her I was too scared to sleep in the attic crawl space by myself. My two older brothers, Bruce (6) and Jim (8), both in school, had just moved into a small bedroom our dad added onto the house, along with my younger brother Timothy (2). My mother was pregnant with my youngest brother Kenneth.

During this beating she told me I was no good, ugly, stupid, and would never amount to anything. I remember thinking, “How could I not be any good, I’m only 4 years old?” She didn’t answer. She just sent me to sleep in the crawl space.

Never underestimate the power of kind, positive words that you yourself have shared with your own family and friends.

“Always focus on the positive”!

You become what you think about most of the time. My father’s sister, Aunt Honey, would hug me and tell me how much she loved me. She’d say I was smart & handsome, and she was proud of me. She told me that I could do anything I wanted to do with my life.

With all the negative things in my young life, the positive information my Aunt gave me is what I chose to believe and focus on.

We moved away from my Aunt when I was 7, but all her love and positive thoughts and attitudes stayed with me.

The abuse got worse from age 7 to 14. Bleeding, watery welts from beatings, and never-ending verbal abuse. But I kept a positive attitude. I got straight A’s in school and worked in my father’s auto garage weekends and after school.

When you focus on the posititve, there is no room for ANY negative.

The more I worked with my father the closer our relationship became. This seemed to intensify my mother’s hatred for me.

At age 14 I accepted the Lord as my personal savior, and turned everything over to him. From age 14 to 16 while keeping my grades up, I excelled in school sports. The coaches said I was the best they had ever seen. They told me I’d definitely get a college athletic scholarship.

At age 16, my parents took me out of school in the 9th grade to work full time in my father’s auto garage. This was hard to deal with, because I thought a high school diploma was the path to freedom and success.

I know the Lord will never give you more than you can handle. As his Gift to me at age 16 while working in my fathers garage, I met my soul mate Linda, age 15.

We have been married for over 33 years. Linda is more than my best friend. She has given me my favorite son Matthew, 20, and my favorite daughter Amanda, 18.

When I asked my parents to be paid for working in the garage, my mother told me that I was ungrateful and kicked me out of the house at age 16.

A fork in the road of life.

After sleeping in my car the first night with no money, no food, and no home, I knew I needed a job.

As I drove down the road looking for a job, I came to a fork in the road. Left would take me to Clearwater, right to Palm Harbor. I turned right and got hired that day delivering lumber.

After I learned all about lumber types and sizes, I got a second job working the night shift building roof trusses. After I learned about all the roof types, pitches, and how to build them, I quit my day job delivering lumber, and got a job as a carpenters helper.

Life for my brothers and sisters living at home worsened. I lost my younger brother Timothy and my older brother Bruce because of the abuse. God rest their souls.

After I learned how to build houses by learning the carpentry and the business end, I started my own carpentry framing business at age 19.

For me turning right, not left at the fork in the road gave me my trade. This trade enabled me to build thousands of homes, as well as our own dream home.

My intention of telling you my story is not to make you feel bad. Hopefully, you can see clearly how using my life lessons made it possible for us to eventually have such great success in network marketing.

After becoming debt free at 40 years old with a $500,000.000 estate, I realized that no high school diploma or formal education had anyting to do with my success. It had everything to do with self-education, developing success systems, and life lessons that I learned.

On June 1, 1995, 28 years after my parents took me out of school, I received my high school diploma with a passing grade of 283. 300 is the highest score, and you can pass with a 200.

So again my life lessons, self education, with systems we developed is why we now have a life that most people only dream about.
