OK, How about a little about me? Reflecting back on what brought me to this point in my career:
I grew up in Virginia and remember the financial struggle my parents dealt with after losing their home in foreclosure because of a bad business deal my Father’s boss put him in. We went to live with my Grandparents in their basement apartment, and it was nice enough with a kitchenette, bathroom and 1 bedroom. This was pretty tight quarters with my parents and sister and I…and I kid you not, since there was not enough room, I slept in the workshop. Right next to the lathe and workbench! I didn’t realize it them, but this time in my life really made me realize that I would do everything I could to keep this from ever happening to my family. Looking back, it actually was a motivating experience…because it was something I didn’t ever want to have!
During college I got involved in a network marketing company and still remember going to a friend at church asking his advice, as I am typing this his name just popped into my mind: Sam Conway,…anyway, he said MLM can be summarized as “unrealistic expectations! I ended up getting involved and definitely found that to be true but I did take away some powerful life lessons like the “standing order” which was a monthly success recording and I also was taught to read great books like “Think and Grow Rich” and “Thinking Big”. Although I never saw the success that some do in network marketing I do think it was a great training ground for me!
 
Fast forward 10 years: After graduating from college at Liberty University, I made some very poor financial decisions regarding the use of credit cards. Even though my parents taught me the dangers of consumer debt, I still wanted to have all the “stuff” I wanted and in about 4 years ended up with over $35,000 in credit card debt with minimum monthly payments as much as my mortgage payment! I even made an appointment with a Bankruptcy attorney to file Chapter 13, but sitting in the office filling out the info sheet on the clipboard it hit me that I just couldn’t do that. I decided to tough it out and make it work, and I don’t have an easy answer or a spectacular story of how “this one little idea turned into hundreds of thousands of dollar
