Our Story

Joseph and I live in Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles), California and have been married for 22 years.  We have 2 beautiful children, Jenna age 19 and Jaeden 3.   At this point you’re saying, “Wow such a spread or was that a typo?!”……yes, they are almost 17 years apart.    Our son, Jaeden, is our miracle child because we were told I could not have anymore children. 

Starting all over with a new baby brought many new challenges to our lives, not the least of which was money, because for all intensive purposes Joe was retired and I was running a brick and mortar business from home.  At one time, we were more than comfortable with our current sources of income.  As we all know, children are expensive so we needed to reexamine our financial future.  With our daughter entering college and a newborn, a second source of income was mandatory.

Joe and I have a background in investment banking.  We owned a successful investment firm for over 10 years, and retired from that industry in the early 90′s.  We took several years off because we were just, well, “burnt out”.  When thinking about new sources of income, getting back into the investment industry after so many years was not going to be an option for us.  Industry changed a lot.  It would take too long to rebuild what we once had and too long to get established in the industry again.  Quite frankly, too long to earn “make a difference” money!

The solution was a home based business.  We were not strangers to home based business because we had the opportunity to work from home in the mid to late 90′s in network marketing (MLM). MLM seemed to be the natural choice for us at that time.  We were successful leaders in several business opportunities and years later we were still constantly approached by old friends, industry leaders, acquaintances and partners to evaluate their opportunities, but we just couldn’t/wouldn’t do it.   We built our MLM businesses the old fashioned way, by making our list and calling friends and family, and then we moved onto talking to cold market leads.  We were shunned at family get-togethers and our circle of friends began to grow thin. Have you seen the Coffee House Letter?  If not, here’s the link: The Coffee House Letter.  Yet despite all of that, we were successful in MLM.

When we left the MLM industry after yet another failed company went out of business, we decided to head into a brick and mortar business. This was definitely a case of the grass being greener on the other side.   We bought a food service business and are now at the mercy of the ever challenged restaurant industry.  I do work from home most of the time, so that’s a benefit however, I maintain a warehouse with a lease, employees, inventory, trucks and the all headaches that come with brick and mortar businesses. 

In our quest for a new home based business, we began to connect with those old friends and partners who we were typically avoiding.  We evaluated companies and looked at lotions & potions and compensation plans.  Nothing was appealing.  Then we found Internet Marketing. 

Internet Marketing was introduced to us by one of those old friends and business partners, Aaron.  He was not looking for us, yet we just stumbled on one of his ads. Destiny!  Most likely the same way you found us.  Aaron and his wife were making a killing at Internet Marketing.   We got started right away and plugged into the system.  We once helped Aaron grow his business, now he is an Internet Marketing Leader and he helps us grow ours.   Thanks to the leadership and systems,  along with Aaron and his wife, we will earn six figures this year.

Freedom is Priceless! Life is way too short to not be doing what you love!

We love to spend time with family.  Working from home has allowed us this luxury.  When our almost 20 year old daughter was in elementry school, one of her teachers asked her what her dad did.  Her response was, “Whatever he wants.”   When Joseph met her teacher, she asked him the same question and when he responded with the same thing, “Whatever I want,”  she was dumb founded.  A home based business allows us to spend time with our children and do whatever we want, when we want.   We are never subject to a schedule. Even more exciting is not having a cap on our income.

When we travel, we can take our business with us via lap top and cell phone and can stay as long as we want …Or we can put our business on auto pilot 24/7 and the money just keeps roll’n in!

Technology is so much simpler now and getting easier everyday. Internet Marketing is just what we were looking for in a home based business.

I hope you have found our story compelling and you decide to reach out to us.  We are looking forward to meeting you and building a huge global business together.  Now that we have a simple system, leaders who guide us and a plan of action that markets and manages our business.  The sky is the limit.

Remember, if you keep doing what you are doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.  Follow our lead and get onboard.  It’s time to enjoy success.

Until next time,
