“Hi, my name is Steven Shaw and I am the creator and author of http://www.stevenlshaw.com - http://www.stevenlshaw.com/blog - http://wisdomrain.com/blog”

The reason why I started this profile is to help you get to know me a little bit better.

I started working online because I was so tired and in pain from being overworked from working 12 to 16 hours per day at my last nursing job as a registered nurse.  I just hated working long hours with all the stress and frustration.  Also there was little or no support from my employer who seemed to care more about making money than caring for people who were suffering.

Another reason for creating this profile; I want to meet, network, and give back to other like minded entrepreneurs.  If you have been in a similar situation to me… hopefully my story can help inspire you to discover a better alternative just like I have when I started working from home, being my own boss and making money online.

Before I get into all of that… let me just tell you a little bit more about me.

I grew up in Nampa, Idaho in a very poor family with 3 sisters and 1 brother. My father worked for the Union Pacific Railroad for 44 years but barely made enough money to keep us in shoes and clothing.  I started working in the sugar beet fields with the migrant workers from Mexico at the age of 6 to help out the family.

I soon realized that if I was to ever get out of the brutal field work and poverty – I needed to get an education.  I worked hard and focused on getting a football scholarship to college but after an injury and personal problems I left college.

My dreams of being rich were temporarily sidetracked but my desire to be an entrepreneur was not dashed!  After a brief stay in Oregon as a short order cook and working for the State of Oregon Highway Engineering Dept.  I moved to Houston, Texas with my then pregnant wife and started my first business.

I worked very hard and just when success seemed within my grasp I fell into the trap of alcoholism. That battle with alcohol lasted 10 years and I eventually ended up living on the streets of Sacramento, California.

 My situation was so grave that I came to be under the Adult Protection Services and was hospitalized many times. Everyone had given up on me and they were just waiting for me to die, go to prison or be put in a mental hospital.  I remember sleeping on the river and looking up at the freeway overpass leading to San Francisco and wondering if I would ever drive a car again.

After going through a number of alcohol detox centers, mental hospitals and half-way houses I finally got some treatment for my alcoholism.  In 1985 while living in a half-way house I enrolled in Nursing School.  I studied hard and became a Registered Nurse in 1989.

The desire to be an entrepreneur never left me so while working as a registered nurse around 1990 I signed up for my first MLM opportunity but for the next 17+ years like most other people I failed to make any money.

By accident or more than likely the “Law of Attraction” I came upon a group of “Internet Gurus” that feature “Online Marketing Education & Training” then my MLM business life changed.

These events have really changed my life and I would love to network and work with like minded people and really get the word out.  So I encourage you to check out my website & blog at http://www.stevenlshaw.com -- http://www.stevenlshaw.com/blog or better yet feel free to give me a call at 936-433-9703 and leave a message – you can catch me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/steven_shaw or FaceBook at http://facebook.com/StevenLShaw . I would love to chat and here your story!

My wish has been to create a website and blog that will greatly help with your own personal development and health!  It will be so nice when we finally “connect” (whether it is through e-mail, telephone, FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter or whatever)… That you will feel like we are “good friends” already.

If you are looking to work with someone who truly cares and loves to have fun.  If you want be like “FAMILY” and know everything that I’m about.
