My Why

This is to share a philosophy about life, home business and making money with the internet.  The reason for this is to ensure that “everyone is on the same page” as a starting point in considering joining us in a money-making venture.

But first, let me tell you just a little about me.  I am a sixty year old father of three adult children.  I work for a local college as a mid-level manager.  Through the years, I have worked in a number of jobs that had 401K plans.  To respond to different situations in my life, I have liquidated two 401K’s and used the money to “stay alive” financially.  Bottom line to all this is that I have no retirement and I am 5-10 years (reasonably) to when I would have hoped to retire.  This is my “why”.  I need residual income in the absence a retirement plan.

Everyone you run into will have a different story.  I just thought, as you investigate ways to make money, that you would find it comforting to know I am a real person that wretches at things that don’t make sense. Everyone is our community is genuinely interested in helping ourselves by helping other people.  In short, we are interested in building community of people who share the common goal of greater financial stability, the values of “keeping it real” and marketing things that you don’t need to be embarrassed by.

There are literally thousands of business opportunities that have passed through our inbox(s) through the years.  We have all spent hours watching videos, doing Google research, reading reviews… most of us have joined a few, had little to no success - and then jumped back on to the merry-go-round of sifting through the inbox, doing the research… and more times than not found some reason that whatever it was - “whatever” was not a good fit.

Some of us are on most of the major guru email lists and get inundated by the same “launch” joint venture offers all within a couple of week time frame.  These happen over, and over, and over.  One of the newer ones is selling physical products on Amazon, there have been a million information-based courses to teach you how to do stuff, there are money-making “programs” with digital training as the product.  These programs range anywhere from $5 to $5000, have different compensation models… all have their pros and cons… but the trick is to find ONE to get started with and stick with it as you move toward profitability and developing your skills and knowledge to drive income growth.

That's all I will say on this post. There are plenty of other posts on this blog that elaborate on this central theme. I encourage you to read as much as you can to simply assess if any of this makes sense to you.
