What does the Online Infopreneur Do?

The Online Infopreneur's work background

I currently operate a full time make money online from home business and am loving it, but first, let me give you some background about how I came to be a full time online internet marketer.

The Online Infopreneur's early years

Make Money Minded

I have always been entrepreneur minded I guess to some degree. I remember when I was about 12, and my brother about 9 years old (this would have been around 1974), living in the small town of Sulphur Springs, Tx. We would take an empty 32oz coke bottle and walk the half of a block to the store. It would take about ten cents to fill the coke bottle up with gas for the lawnmower. (Remember, this was the mid 70's, we hadn't even heard of the environmentalist yet). Then we would go back, get our lawnmower and start mowing yards. For an average size yard, we would get paid $2.00, and could mow sometimes up to five yards a day. As young kids we were making almost as much as some adults were making.

The Online Infopreneur's teen years

Entering the workforce

cement finisher cartoon At the age of 16 I went to work in my Dad's concrete construction business. At the time it was a small business. We did residential work such as pouring concrete slabs for new construction houses, and all the flat work that goes with it (i.e. driveways, sidewalks, flower curbs, ect), and I loved everything about it. We eventually grew into commercial work and bigger projects such as, shopping malls, power plants, public schools, motels, road work, ect. At 19 years of age I was supervising these commercial projects and all total worked in the construction industry for 25+ years.

When I first started working in the concrete construction industry, I loved it, but, as time went by, my thinking started to change. In the winters when the weather is bad, you sit at the house a lot if your in construction, which brings on financial hardships. In the early stages, as a young man I didn't give it much thought, but the older I got, the more I realized this was not going to cut it. I would wind up in my retirement years broke and and eventually die broke leaving my kids trying to figure out how to pay for my funeral.

I knew I had to do something, but the questions were WHAT? HOW do I change my financial situation? Maybe your there, and you've been asking yourself the same questions.

Ceating A Passive Residual Income

is a must if you want to be financially independent.

Getting Committed

A Pivital Point

The more I thought about financial security, the more I began to realize that I had to create a passive residual income, that is a cash flow that keeps coming in whether you work or not.

See, although as young kids my brother and I knew how to make money mowing yards, the problems was that if we didn't go out and mow yards the next day, we didn't make money.

I was first introduced to multi-level marketing in 1987. At that time I didn't even have a computer and knew nothing about how to navigate the internet, so it was all off line marketing, but it got my attention.

I first starting acquiring an interest in making money online from home right around the year 2000. For the next seven or eight years I dabbled around with it, but nothing serious. Then in early 2008, I got committed, and I can tell you that once you commit, it seems that success is attracted to you.

Full Time Make Money from Home Business

So, Like I said, when you get committed all kinds of good things start happening. I have been seriously and aggressively operating an online business since 2008 and have gained an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. Some of the things I have learned consist of:

I would love to be able to help you in your endeavors to make money online. Let me share with you what I learned the hard way and spare yourself a lot of troubles.

What Did I Learn The Hard Way?

Some Of My Life's Experiences

I didn't go into this part of my life earlier, but a large portion of my adult married life (so I should say "OUR" life, since my wife went through it all with me, and thankfully, stayed with me through it all) has been with great financial difficulty. Around 2002 we lost everything, car was repossessed, house foreclosed on, bank account closed down due to being overdrawn for three months, accounts associated with my business such as the lumber yard and concrete plant closed down.

If you've never experienced this, then be grateful. I can tell you, it's no fun at all. I came back to my hometown at forty years of age and my wife and I moved in with my mother, and I (and my wife also) was whipped. I was so beat down and defeated in my spirit. My muscles in my neck and shoulder knotted up and caused intense pain due to stress, which required several months of chiropractic treatment. I have learned now that no matter what comes or goes, it's not worth stressing over, the world seems to keep spinning, and we seem to survive.

So why am I giving you all this information. No, it's not some sob story trying to gain sympathy. No, the reason is that I want you to know that I can identify with those of you who are struggling financially, and going through what I went through produced in me a compassion to help others become successful.

Just think, if I had of learned the secrets of creating a passive residual income thirty years ago, I would have been able to spend more time with our kids. I understand that money cannot buy peace, but if you have peace already, money can make things easier in life.

No one should have to struggle to get by in this great country of ours, after all this is the land of opportunity, right? But it still comes down to the individual. It is available to you, but it does require work. If you have the desire, steadfastness, and work ethics for it, I can help you by pointing you in the right direction to help smooth the road a little bit.

How can I offer help for zero out of pocket

I know it sounds impossible, or like a scam, but Selina (watch the video below) has designed and implemented an ingenious system.

As to how I can offer to help you learn how to create a passive residual income listen to this video. It explains how this wealth building club (yes, I'm a member) can provide all this top notch training and support for zero out of pocket.

It's too long to tackle here, but I will say that after several years of struggling and weeding through one opportunity after another one, opting into one email list after the other to get their free e-Book, and reading through the e-Book (and I have to say here, that there is a lot of good information available, but trying to put it altogether in some format that is applicable is the trick, it's like a giant puzzle, and if you work at it long enough, some of the pieces start to come together, then some more, and then still more until it starts to make sense) I finally found and became a member of a wealth builders club that teaches specifics (not just generalities) of how to market your business.

So go watch the video .

    I like these kinds of personal journey lenses. It's always interesting to hear how others landed here. ;) Certainly does demonstrate your natural tendency towards being an entrepreneur! I've had great success using Squidoo as both a creative outlet and as a way to help my websites, too.
