Firstly I am 35 years old and have been in a relationship with my partner Catrin (Cat) for the last 12 years. You may be surprised we are not married yet but for some things I just don’t liked to be rushed!

We have one child born on the 30th August. This is both very exciting and pretty terrifying at the same time! Does this mean I now have to ‘grow up’? Not sure I want to, it’s no fun being a ‘grown up’

We live south east London. In an area, which is far enough away from the real hustle and bustle, with plenty of parks, a few nice bars and shops, and good schools, I think it is a great place for young families (I still class myself as being young!) to be. If we need to get into the centre of London for a show or whatever it is only 20 minutes away

The arrival of Louis is the biggest driver for me to make a huge success of this business by helping you achieve what you want, as it can give me, you, or anyone else a secure regular income to do the things you want to do in life. However what is most important is it also gives you the time to do it.

Time is a valuable commodity I believe gets overlooked far too often, until before you know it you have come to retirement age and you look back and think, what happened to my life? There is so much more I wanted to achieve. And perhaps, how am I going to afford a comfortable retirement and leave a legacy for my children, grandchildren and so on?

I’m not afraid of taking calculated risks and live by the words of “ I would rather regret what I did do rather than what I didn’t do”. As this would always have me wondering about the ‘what ifs?

I enjoy helping people wherever I can, and have plans to do much more for people who are not in an as fortunate position as we are.

I have got this far from being totally true to myself, and never feeling the need to butt kiss or compromise my beliefs in trust, integrity and honesty. I’m a firm believer in what goes around comes around.

I’m not afraid to be different and am good at blocking out other peoples opinion of me. You have to be if you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to take control of your life and leave the ‘rat race’ behind.

I suspect you as I do have friends and family who do not understand your ‘weird schemes’ and try to ‘talk sense’ into you. They are doing it in your best interest because they love and care for you………ignore them!

If you have a dream for financial freedom then don’t give in to the dream stealers. They will see the benefit when you are much happier spending lots more time with them. Just keep going, and read on.

I love people from all walks of life and do my best to get on with everyone. I give everyone a chance and don’t buy into what another person’s opinion might be about someone until I’ve known him or her for myself.

I avoid watching the news or reading newspapers, cause all they spout on about is doom and gloom. If you are told something enough times you can’t help but believe in it, so please no more about the credit crunch!

One of my favourite past times going to the gym regularly and leading a fairly healthy lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to enjoy myself when required!

I don’t read the instructions for anything unless I am in danger of breaking it, and I hate flat pack furniture, the two are closely linked!!

So I am a regular guy with a pretty standard up bringing. Soon after leaving school at 16 years old I needed to get out of my small village and I joined the British Army.

There I spent a total of 10 mostly happy years, although after about 7 years I started to wonder about what else was out there in the big wide world beyond the restrictions of Army life.

I’d had enough of being told when to eat, sleep, or work. Plus potentially at any time be sent anywhere in the world.

At 9 years I knew had to leave and have more control of my own life and destiny so worked my years notice and left for a wild and fancy free civilian life………… so I thought!

It soon became apparent that in reality civilian life is not to far removed from army life. I was still being told the times I had to work, I had commute up to 2 hours each way to where the work was, and I was only being paid what somebody else thought I was worth, which was the thing that really bugged me.

In my opinion I’m worth an awful lot more than any temporary wage, which is why I then started to look for an alternative way of making a substantial income and have the time to enjoy it.

After months of research this brought my attention to network marketing. I chose a company and we both spent nearly 5 years working extremely hard, making huge sacrifices emotionally and unfortunately largely financial for it to effectively fail……which was great!

Believe it or not failure is good! Read about any ‘successful’ person and you will see they had plenty of failures along the way, the key is they never gave up. Giving up is easy to do; if you do your life will never change.

Just do, or do not! There is no try!……..Yoda.

The company we chose to work with was a health and beauty company so to try and boost our short term income we also started our own ‘conventional’ business in a health club in Cat’s home town in Wales, offering treatments, massages etc. using their products.

After a year of hard work and investment in bad ideas, purchases, advertising, and websites etc. (some sales people are really good!) we decided enough was enough and both went back to a ‘normal’ job.

You may have heard this before but it is so true, a JOB means ‘Just Over Broke’!! No matter how many pay increases you receive there never seems to be any more money left in the bank at the end of the month. Does this sound familiar to you?
