Last night I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.
I have been struggling with my Internet business off-and-on for a little over a year. Things were going well last year, at least as far as sales were going. The profits weren’t there yet, but I had hope.
Then my mother fell ill. The next few months was spent caring for her, until she passed away peacefully in August. The following weeks were all about taking care of my father, and getting his world back on track.
And then the economy collapsed…
So I decided to take some time to enjoy myself and wait for things to settle down before I started looking for work again. I went to Europe for two weeks, spending time in London and in Amsterdam, and fell in love with both cities.
After returning to the States, I figured I’d wait until after the holidays to begin searching for a job. So in January I began my search in earnest. Unfortunately, my home state has just lost BOTH of its auto plants, so there are more job-seekers than ever!
At the end of April, as the last of my cash reserves drained away, I decided to restart my Internet business using the same products I had seen success with last year. Times have changed, and those products no longer sell.
So I figured I’d learn all I could about Internet Marketing and build a business on that foundation. Fine idea, until I discovered that there are thousands upon thousands of products and services and ideas, and scammers!
I became so frustrated and overwhelmed by all the information. It soon became clear that I was going to have to learn to be a webmaster, graphic designer, copywriter, lawyer, pitchman, videographer, and author just to get started!
I needed a hand to reach out from the darkness and guide me to a more serene place where things made more sense. My mind was about to give in, and then…
I found Alex Jeffreys! In just a little less than five hours he opened up my eyes to see what I was doing wrong. He has provided the tools for me to organize my thoughts, and my business. And that was JUST ONE CALL!
We haven’t even touched on product creation, web-development, list-building, or any of the technical stuff.
Today I have a wall filled with dreams and aspirations, goals and tasks… and a MAP to fit it all together!
Man this is gonna be fun!
Peace,
