So, who am I and why should you care?

What’s in it for you?

Well, my story is probably similar to others you have heard before, or maybe even somewhat similar to your own.

I have had an entrepreneurial mindset my whole life. It just took 25 years or so to figure that out!

I have gone down MANY different career paths in my life and none of them ever seemed like the “right fit”. I guess that’s probably because all of them involved actually having a JOB and having to work for someone else. I knew that definitely wasn’t for me, no matter what kind of salary I was offered. But, how do you pay the bills?

That’s a tough question.

I knew I wouldn’t be a very good criminal. I’m not smart enough to be a good one, and I didn’t want to spend my life in prison. So, I had to find another way…

Actually, I REALLY wanna be a rock star!! (Still working on that…)

The next logical choice was to start my own business. That seemed like a great idea, but most people who I knew that had their own business worked more hours than having a job and didn’t really seem happier than the 9 to 5′ers. Hmm, maybe crime WAS the right choice! Just kidding…

So, by nature, I am a night owl. And as most night owls will admit to, they have probably seen an infomercial or 2 or 3…or 1,000! And if they do their job right (which they most certainly do) you find yourself getting sucked into the idea of easy, fast, money while sitting around in your underwear. I did, in a BIG way!

I tried EVERY business that came into view: eBay, real estate, internet marketing, network marketing, affiliate marketing, marketing marketing, etc. etc. etc. And guess what? I failed at every single one of them. I failed spectacularly! To the tune of being over $100,000 in debt! And NOTHING to show for it!

What I did have though, was a dogged determination (stubbornness) to not give up NO MATTER WHAT!

I knew what the alternatives were:   J.O.B. or crime or homelessness

None of those sounded very appealing. So, I kept trying…

I KNEW there were people actually making money in all those different businesses that I had tried and it angered me because I wondered why they could succeed, and I couldn’t. It actually made me realize that I COULD succeed in a business, I just had to figure out which one was right for me, and then put all my effort into it and stop the “shiny ball syndrome”.

***That’s probably the best advice I could give anyone is to stop chasing every new shiny ball that comes into view, and FOCUS. Pick a business that satisfies the lifestyle that you see yourself living…and stick with it until you achieve that goal!***

So, back to me now…FOCUS!

I realized that through all of my adventures trying new businesses, that I became pretty good at a few things. I started becoming pretty good at direct marketing and using social media online (MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.)

So, I started providing these services to clients and I have received some rave reviews! Check it out:

So, that’s all well and good and I’m VERY proud of the results I’ve been able to achieve for my clients. But, there was something missing up until recently…I was helping my clients achieve massive success, but I wasn’t putting these skills into practice for myself. What a dummy! I had cracked the code to building successful blogs, driving massive traffic using social media, PPC, etc. But, I was ONLY doing it for my clients, not myself!

So, back to the question I proposed at the beginning of this bio: “What’s in it for you?”

Well, if you’ve read this far THANK YOU! And if you have, you’re probably asking yourself that question right now and “who cares?” Right? Come on, you know you are…;)

Well, as I mentioned before, I have tried AND FAILED at many different business opportunities so I have been around the block a few times. I have A LOT of valuable information I can share with you…and I will be sharing from all my years of successes and failures. I will also be sharing some GREAT content and strategies that I have used to achieve great things for my clients.

The most valuable information (I believe) I can share with you is the type of business that I have now and will focus on 100% indefinitely and why it might be a good fit for you too! (BTW, I do still work with clients as well but it’s not my primary business.)

Before I tell you what my business is, I want to tell you WHY it is the PERFECT fit for me…

As I mentioned before, I still have a CRAZY dream to be a rock star some day…(it could happen!) Actually, I still have A LOT of other goals and pursuits I want to accomplish in my life and I can’t be tied down to a business that requires my daily involvement in order for it to still make money.

Anyone who has read Tim Ferris’ book “The Four Hour Work Week” knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about. There is too much in this world to experience and life is too short to not “take it all in” while you can!!!

I HAD to find a business that allowed me to do these things… allowed me to work from anywhere in the world, allowed me to leverage my efforts so my income would NEVER be limited to the number of hours in the day, allowed me to step away from it for a day, a week, a month and it would still keep moving right along, and actually be growing while I was away! A business that actually allowed me the freedom to live the 4 Hour Work Week!

Alright already! What is the business??

Well, after years of pursuing countless different businesses, I finally realized the absolute PERFECT business (for me) that fit ALL of my criteria and has allowed me to actually start living The 4 Hour Work Week was…………… INTERNET NETWORK MARKETING!

What is Internet Network Marketing?

Well, I’m sure you have heard of internet marketing and network marketing, MLM, multi-level marketing, etc. It has been given a really bad rap until just recently when people like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki have not only endorsed the business, but said if they lost it all and were starting over from scratch, they would start over in network marketing. Why? One word: LEVERAGE!

I actually tried network marketing in the past, and I HATED it! Maybe you have too! I am NOT a salesman, never have been, never will be. I HATE the way it was traditionally done: make a list of friends and family, set up meetings, cold call leads, call supposed HOT leads, etc. etc. etc. and face rejection most of the time. It wears you out, it wears your pocket book out and MOST people don’t make any money and quit within 90 days and are devastated and then go back to their old life and give up on the dream…

But the game has completely changed! You do NOT have to be a salesman. In fact, you don’t have to talk to anyone at all if you don’t want to UNTIL they actually become involved in your opportunity. (That was a HUGE revelation for me.) Do you realize what I just wrote? The absolute WORST aspect of network marketing for me was having to pick up that phone and face rejection 95% of the time. I was terrified. I can teach you how to pursue this business and NEVER have to talk to a lead ever again and sponsor people like crazy on complete auto pilot!

I realized I could take all of my skills and expertise I have acquired about internet marketing and social media, and combine it with the leverage of a network marketing business. Brilliant!

Here’s the kicker: It doesn’t matter what network marketing company you want to join, or may already be a part of. This works with ANY company! You are not really promoting a company, you are promoting yourself and promoting a true duplicatable system that others can actually follow and finally achieve success.

So, I’m sure most people have heard about the leverage and income potential there is with network marketing. The best part is, when you do it my way, the leveraged income you receive from your network marketing company is only a small fraction of your total income.

In fact, your network marketing company could shut down tomorrow and it wouldn’t even make a dent in your overall income.

That’s because you would be creating and generating MULTIPLE streams of income from building your OWN list of prospects, promoting multiple affiliate products, creating your OWN info products, signing up people in your primary business, AND creating training systems to duplicate your success for your downline to follow……..and having all this run on auto pilot so you could be off exploring the world, watching your son’s soccer game, or becoming a rock star! Here’s an example of just ONE of the many income streams I have set up that makes me money 24 hours a day: http://mysuccessfulmlm.biz/ (I can teach you how to do this too!)

I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but it’s really not! Does it take some effort to reach this point? Absolutely! (How bad do you want it? Is it worth the effort to put in to achieve this life????)

Is it rocket science? Absolutely NOT!

This system is VERY duplicatable. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work! You HAVE to be able to put a system in place for others to follow so they can be successful too! (That’s actually the best part is seeing others achieve the same success you have. Nothing is better or more rewarding!! Truly!)

Listen, the purpose of writing all this was NOT to sell you on some opportunity. I just want to provide you some good content here on my blog and if what I described sounds like a good fit for you, maybe we could connect at some point.

That’s enough about me….

I hope you like the content I provide!

Pursue life with passion,

Rob
