How it all Began

Over the last twenty years I have developed several businesses. However, it hasn’t always been easy and there have been a lot of tears along the way, but eventually through shear hard work my businesses began to grow and prosper.
 
As a result I met the famous entrepreneur Richard Branson who awarded me with an all expenses paid trip to New York for my entrepreneurial business skills. That was the turning point for me. I knew I could do more if I put my mind to it. So that’s exactly what I did.
 
However, the recession kicked in and although to some people I appeared to have it all, a nice house, lovely cars and a good life, behind the scenes it was extremely tough going and entailed a 90 hour week. Such long hours were having an effect on my family and taking the joys out of our social lives. My health, relationships and business began to suffer. Debts began to mount and at one point exceeded £1 Million pounds. It became evident that I needed to take some drastic action.
 
I knew that an online business was the answer because of the huge potential that the internet offered and that it would blend in with what I clearly wanted out of life i.e. I wanted to work from home and create more quality leisure time with my family. In other words, work less hours for more money. It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not…
 
I’m not ashamed to admit that I had to work even longer hours than I was before to get my new business up and running. However, I had a dream, in fact a goal, whereby one day I would enjoy the benefits that working from home would create for me but at the same time enable my family and I to reap the financial benefits this business was to create for us all. It was that dream, that goal that kept me going and eventually fulfilled my dreams.  
    
As time has progressed my online business has grow from strength to strength, but more importantly it has enabled me to create more prosperity, freedom and a lifestyle to be privileged and proud of. 
 
I never forget the need to remind myself the importance of life and the importance of personal freedom; how to educate myself and develop new skills. These simple reminders provide me with the guidance, morals and goals to develop my self worth and give me the motivation to help others and enjoy life to the full.
