My Start

In the seventies I sold myself as a musician and singer. In the eighties I sold myself as a house painter. From mid seventies to 1980 I was teaching middle school and was laid off in 1980 for three years.

As I sold myself as a house painter I also sold myself as someone who could write a computer program - the scripting that is - with no experience. I also sold my editing/copywriting skills.

In the ninties I sold some drain and septic tank cleaner.

In 1996 we joined our current company and started a business because we wanted something we could use to create a passive stream-of-income as an asset called residual income - that's the beauty of a network marketing template for product distribution. We also have a passion for our products and a commitment to our company.

This experience has taught me: advertising and marketing, prospecting and promoting, sponsoring and training along with how to retail products. It also gave me what I needed to seek outside sources for business and personal development.
