I am by and far not the authority or expert in internet network marketing. I only recently dove into this adventure after some consideration. I am going to share with you my troubles and tribulations, and my aspirations and accomplishments. Let me first tell you how I got here. I currently work as a sports physical therapist at a prestigious academic university hospital in Philadelphia. Although I enjoy what I do (working with athletes), my job is in essence controlled by my employer. So looking for a way to increase my retirement fund, I started researching online about building wealth. I found a great newsletter, called Early to Rise by Mike Masterson. It is from here that I got the idea of starting a side business. At first, I tried to work as an independent speaker on issues in sports physical therapy but at the time, the company I contracted with didnt like the audience turnout that I had. So I put this on the backburner. I plan to resurrect this career with some partners of mine. So I needed something else. At the same time, I started to read everything I got on building wealth and getting rich. I grow up with the notion that being rich was greedy and not good for the soul. Then I read Automatic Wealth by Mike Masterson. He lays out a plan to retire in 7 to 15 years. For me, I have not thought about retiring at such a young age. I have too much that I want to accomplish and then I read Retire young, retire rich by Robert Kiyosaki. He said he and his wife retired when they were in their late 30s and 40s. But what he really did was take a year off, write a book, calm his life down, and found his vision for the second half of his life. That was incredible inspiration for me. That I can retire young and rich, take a year off to discover or rediscover and build my vision. That has brought me here. Robert Allen of Multiple Streams of Income said that network marketing is a great place to start regarding build a new stream of income. So I spent several days researching the internet for a good opportunity. And I found it, PluginProfits.com. Stone Evans lays out a nice structured format to get into network marketing. Understand me, getting started does take work: time, energy, and money. But I can expect to become rich by not working for it (unless you win the lottery but odds are better with this, and even if you do win, most winners end up poorer than before they won). So if you are looking a straightforward, turnkey system that is easy to do and follow, PluginProfits.com is a good starting point. Thus there is a beginning of my journey. I will keep you up to date on how things are going and what I learn along the way. Dave |
