Hello, and thanks for visiting our website!
Perhaps like you, my wife Nancy and I stumbled across the idea of owning a home
based travel business by accident......or possibly by Divine Intervention.
We live in Orange County, California with our two black labs, Molly and Bud.
In 2007 we'll celebrate our 30th anniversary, and our two adult children, Jen and
Keith are still our pride and joy.
I am a Certified Mortgage Planner, a licensed life insurance agent, and a proud
network marketer. Nancy is involved in Women's Ministries at our church and actively
engaged in mentoring younger women.
God has blessed us and life is good. But it wasn't always that way... After serving as
a Navy pilot during the Vietnam War, I entered the business world and eventually
owed two traditional businesses... a manufacturer of high performance engines for
ski boats, and a mortgage brokerage. I discovered that being the boss just means
that you have a job that you can‘t quit. The income was good, but the price was
too high... sleepless nights wondering how I would cover payroll when 64 families
depended on us doing that... up to $160,000 per month in overhead expenses to
be covered BEFORE I could take a paycheck... litigation... pushy clients... long hours...
stress... enormous personal liability and risk... and worst of all, too many nights and
weekends either physically or emotionally away from my family.
Nancy and I knew there HAD to be a better way. We were sick and tired of the fact
that I was living to work. We wanted to find a way to provide a great lifestyle for
our family that would allow us to enjoy that lifestyle TOGETHER.
Fortunately, we found the home based business industry in the early 80’s and
we just fell in love with it. What I personally loved were all the NOs: NO boss,
NO employees, NO overhead, NO accounts receivable, NO personal guarantees,
NO government regulatory problems, NO huge investment, NO litigation, NO hassles,
NO stress, and NO LIMIT ON INCOME!
We didn’t do well financially at first, but we learned a lot about working with people
and that helped us in every area of our lives... I was more effective in my job and we
were more connected as a family as a direct result of the skills we learned in our first
venture in the home based business arena. (And yes, the name of that company
began with an “A”) We later came back and did well enough with another company
that we discovered true freedom for the first time in our lives. Our income was no
longer dependent on my day to day activities. We were able to create a residual
income that paid the bills whether I went to work that month or not. We didn’t
make a fortune, but we were free.
What I have discovered along the way is that MARKETING SYSTEMS, PROFESSIONAL
TRAINING, and ACCOUNTABILITY make all the difference. I didn‘t do very well in the
mortgage business until I had put all three in place. Until then I worked hard but
didn’t get very far.
Once I had a chance to learn from the best, I quickly become one of the top
producing loan officers in Southern California and was a founding partner in one
of the largest mortgage brokerages in our area.
I was the same person and the market was pretty much the same. What made the
difference for me was the skill, knowledge and confidence that I gained from the
TRAINING; the MARKETING SYSTEMS we developed from the knowledge that we
had gained; and DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY to do what I was supposed to do.
The thing that I am MOST excited about right now is that we have applied the
concepts of PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, simple MARKETING SYSTEMS, and
ACCOUNTABILITY in the home based business arena... and they work here too!
If you’re looking for an easy ride to riches, this definitely NOT for you. But if you’re
willing to learn and grow and follow a very simple and specific plan of action that
has been proven to be effective, then you CAN achieve your goals in this wonderful
and unlimited industry!
All the key elements are in place, and what business could be more FUN than TRAVEL!
Are YOU ready? If you would like to have an honest conversation about the good,
the bad, and the ugly of the home based business industry, and why I am so
certain that TRAVEL is the best opportunity for the most people to make the most
money, then I invite you to call me.
I’d be honored to have that conversation with you. Thanks for reading our story.
God Bless,
DOUG
