About Me

About me?  Well, let's see.  My day job is financial services.  I am an independent insurance agent and focus primarily on retirement income planning through simple, predictable methods.  Within fifteen minutes my client either experiences a sense of relief or gets a wake-up call.  Either way, we can then bridge the gap, if there is one, between where they are and where they'd like to be when they retire.  I've been exploring network marketing as another bridge for people who are still in the rat race.

I've been involved in 4 network marketing companies for the simple fact that I love to use their products.  I've not sponsored or even attempted to sponsor someone though.  I had trouble drawing the parallel between my existing business and the lotions and potions I personally enjoy.

My New Year's resolution for 2008 was to read 2 books per month.  I am happy to say that I am actually ahead of schedule.  It's become something of a habit.  Another thing that I have learned is that as I journey down the path of personal development, I am eager to share what I've learned with others.  I've finally settled on a company that allows me to do just that and generate a profit,  Success University

Hey Derek, To start our new friendship right…… I want to give you (anyone) my prospecting manual, "Over 250 Ways to Find New Prospects," ~ FREE. www.FreeProspectingBible.com Hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Derek, Welcome to “Better Networker” the best networking site that I know of. I have found it to be productive for meeting people with the same interests. I believe we are all here to network, socialize, grow are businesses and learn. This is absolutely the best site that I have found for that purpose. I hope you will respect it as have and do all you can to improve it. I invite you to enter into an exchange of ideas and thoughts with me without the introduction of companies, product or opportunities, just discussions of concepts and philosophies from which the seeds of all success come. Whether you are extremely successful, not realizing the promises’ made, or just starting into network marketing an exchange of ideas and principals would surely be rewarding to all involved. I believe that I have a very precious gift that I want to share with you at no cost to yourself.. You in turn may also have something to share with me. If these words strike a positive cord feel free to contact me. I will be happy to share my knowledge with you or help you in any way that I can.

Welcome Derek! I just wanted say welcome to our community. I think you will find this site extremely valuable! You’ll learn a LOT and meet many really great people. I’ve been a member for a while and I can honestly tell you that this is probably the BEST online community for networking out there (I’ve tried most of them). If you have any questions about marketing, I can probably help! Just shoot me a message. But I’m not exactly a “techie”, so if you have technical questions you probably want to ask someone else…LOL. By the way, are you using MySpace yet for networking? It is a GREAT place to meet people and to get lots of free, high-quality leads for your business. Be sure to add me as a friend there, and when you do, remind me that we met here on betternetworker, and I’ll be sure to add you to my group of “Top MySpace Friends”... ;-) You’ll find me under myspace.com/lenabjorna. Look forward to networking with you! Have a super day! Lena
