How did you become an entrepreneur?
It was in my blood early on. I can remember back to always having this urge to start businesses and try to earn money on my own terms. One of the first businesses I had involved pulling a wagon around the local marina with a cooler filled with cold soda and chocolate bars. Who could turn down a 10 year old with cold soda on a hot summer day? Not many people did. There were days where I earned possibly $60-$100 dollars. I learned very early on about making a profit. If I could buy a case a soda for $7 and sell it for $25, I was making money. It wasn’t too long before the marina discovered how much money I was taking from under their noses.
I have to give a lot of credit to my parents. They were and still always supportive of any of my ventures. Who do you think drove me to the grocery store to stock my wagon? I did manage to finish high school and even get an honors University degree. This led me into the working world where I tried a few office jobs. Needless to say I got bored pretty quickly. I also realized that my wages would always be based on what someone was willing to pay me. As an entrepreneur your income doesn’t have any limits. This is a good thing.
What kind(s) of business do you own?
For the past 5-7 years I’ve been involved in Internet Marketing and all aspects of the Internet. I currently own a Communications & Marketing firm which does just about everything from coaching & consulting to intensive surveys and research projects.
I’ve also created various digital information products over the years and continue to coach and consult with hundreds of people around the world. I guess you could say I’m an Internet Marketer but for the most part I prefer to consult others and help them earn more money doing things they love. Over the past 4 years I’ve worked personally with some 600 people many who’ve gone on to create insanely successful Internet businesses.
We’re still just scratching the surface of the Internet.
