My story...

Hello,my name's Marcus.

Some people find their niche early on in life and consequently find success at an early age. I've always admired these types because my life was nothing like this. My journey took a whole lot longer which is why this quote is so close to my heart.

"Never, never, never, give up" - Winston Churchill

I was born in South Africa and started out my career as a school teacher and although I did return to it a number of times in my life, I also managed to do a lot of other things.

To be honest I never stuck with anything for very long. I always felt trapped, unfulfilled and desperately unhappy working in a job.

Traveling and writing have always been my greatest passions and I did a lot of this between jobs. This continues to be very important to me; far more so than owning mansions and fast cars.

I have lived in New Zealand, the UK, Spain and Australia. I currently live in Sydney.

When I first came across network marketing it appeared to offer everything I was looking for, especially greater freedom in my life.

So started my six year struggle in this industry. I did everything I was told to do even though I found many "old style" network marketing practices like approaching friends and family to join me in business, very uncomfortable.

I achieved absolutely nothing except to lose some friends, go broke and get very frustrated. I joined no less than five companies in this time, always convinced that the next company would be the "right one". Of course it never was. Eventually I turned my back on the industry believing that it was just an illusive dream.

Then came a point in my life where everything came tumbling down around my ears in every way possible. My personal relationship collapsed, I was jobless, homeless and simply lost! I knew that I had to take some serious action to improve my life once and for all.

I was drawn back to network marketing. Nothing else that fired me up as much or had the potential to give me what I wanted.

Before long I was experiencing the same old problems - no leads, no money and no real plan for success. Being a personal development company however this became the catalyst for a very intense period of self development in my life.

During this time I realized that the problem was me. I knew I had to become stronger so that I could change my life regardless of the fears and the obstacles I encountered.

When I stepped up and started taking responsibility for my own success and stopped blaming my past failure on companies, sponsors, the economy and whatever else I could find, then things started to change.

I was introduced to the online model via Mike Dillard and attraction marketing. What I learned was an absolute revelation and 'about turn' to everything I had ever known about network marketing.

I realized that my business had to be about me first and foremost, that I needed to brand and position myself, while drawing on my power to step up and become the leader one must become if one wants to be successful. I have been sharing what I learned ever since with who ever wants to learn the secrets to success in this industry.

My mission...

... is now to assist people looking to build a successful business on the Internet in a way that is attractive, fun and deeply satisfying so that they can live ideal prosperous lives.

I value...

• my freedom
• my ability to be self reliant
• opportunities to contribute in whatever way I can to making life better for whoever I come into contact with.

I do what I do because...

I love the freedom it gives me - the freedom to work for myself when I choose and where I choose. The freedom to determine my income and the freedom to live the kind of life that is important to me. I get to be creative, help others, travel extensively and have a whole lot of fun.

Some of my favorite quotes are:

"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." ~ Benjamin Disraeli

"It's the set of the sails, not the direction of the winds that determines which way we will go." ~ Napoleon Hill

"If you want to have more, you must become more." ~ Jim Rohn

"You must work harder on yourself than you do on your business." ~ Jim Rohn

"If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it." ~ Brendan Francis

Live the life you love and love the life you live!

My goal? Helping you achieve yours.
