I haven't always had an interest in working for myself.  I always did what was expected of me. I got good grades I started to go to college and dropped out. Then I went into the service. I always took the safe route, the path of least resistance. I was always good at what I did, but I never took any chances.

Then I got sick. I had to have a liver transplant and it changed my perception. I realized that life was fragile and short and if I was going to make my mark on this life I needed to get started now. I went back to school, got a two year degree in visual communications from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and went to work doing something I truly enjoyed. I drew pictures for a living. As I got more experience I began wanting more. So I left the stability of my job and started a business with my family.

For the last 13 years I have been part owner of <a href="http://morethanjustartcustomframing.com">More Than Just Art Custom Frame Shop</a>. Even though I work more hours than I'd like, I think I made myself unemployable. I got bit by the entrepreneurial bug. Now that I own a business, how do i make more money but work less hours? This question is what prompted me to take a look at home based business. So for the last three years I have been working on learning to use the internet to grow my home based business. But what I've learned is that in the 21st century, marketing on the internet is essential for any business.

Eventually, I'd like to move pursue my Network Marketing business full time, but first I want see how successful I can make my Frame shop. I feel a connection with my customers. People trust me with their keepsakes. I help them preserve and display memories. I want to be able to put the same effort into helping people succeed financially.
