Our story

I am a 39 year old entrepreneur, married to Julie for 12 years. I started my first business back in 1999 called The Computer Man. In 2003 I became involved in Network Marketing by going onto the internet and looking for a Home Internet Business that could help me create a second income. Within 4 years I developed a residual passive income through network marketing exceeding £150,000 per year (About $300,000 US) and have completely transformed my family's life. On our journey we have also been able to help many people change their lives for the better which is why we are so passionate about what we do.

Having trodden this path with my wife Julie, I would say to anyone who wants more out of life than just to be on the 40 year "hamsters wheel" or "rat race", then you should work towards "Owning Your Life."

Is ours a rags to riches story? I'll let you decide!

How things can change

I think it is important to share with you that things were certainly not always as great as they are now. In fact it was only 6 years previous to writing this that we were living in a flat and we were in dire straits. To top that off we also had the neighbours from hell.

We had been there for 7 LONG years and could not move because we simply could not afford to. I had started my The Computer Man business and was trying to get that off the ground and we had lost Julie's wage as a Sub-Post Office manager because we unexpectedly had our second son Jay. I say unexpectedly because the doctors had told us that we could not have kids together having tried for several years and failed.

We had accumulated in excess of £70,000 debt which was growing every month just because our monthly bills exceeded our income. It was your worst nightmare. We were trying to desperately to sell the flat as we needed to pay off our debt and move to somewhere bigger. The only blessing was that the property price boom had meant we had enough profit in the flat to do this. The major problem was that no one was going to buy our flat with the state that our neighbours gardens were in (Pictured above). In the end Julie managed to reason with those neighbours to tidy things up as they were only too happy to see us move away.

These were the old bangers that we were driving.

Well we did manage to sell the flat and we bought a 4 bedroom detached property which had great potential at a time when house prices were rising about £5,000 per month. We completely stretched ourselves just to get the house as we were so desperate, but we were thrilled that we managed to do it. Later on you will here of the challenges we had in the first few years.

Pictured here is our house which over the past couple of years have been able to add a conservatory, a new drive and have also upgraded our old bangers as you can see. Although it's not the mansion that some people expect to see, we love it here, we love our neighbours, our great friends and it is safe and convenient for the children.

In time as the children grow we will consider moving.

Another thing that has changed has been the office I work from home out of. You see here on the right my first home office was literally a tiny computer desk at the end of our bed in our flat. When we first moved to our house I got a promotion and was able to move into the spare bedroom. 

Since we had the conservatory built we were able to create a new office that I now work from which is a lot more like it pictured here.

Network Marketing

SHOW ME THE MONEY

If you click the picture below it is a image showing one of my single biggest commission statements to date from Network Marketing. It is for 1 month.

It is for £16,514.14 (Approx $23,000 US) and the reason why I have decided to show you this is to make you understand what kind of earnings are possible through network marketing. Please note that this is just one of my many home business income streams. 

My mentor Peter Powderham, the founder associate of Tiscali Network showed me a commission statement back in January 2004 and I was blown away by the fact he was earning in a month what most people make in a year. This gave me the belief and motivation to work for the success and rewards that network marketing can give you.

1 year after our move in October 2002 to our house, I needed to find an extra £500 per month for us to survive because my IT services business was going through a rough time. This was when I became involved in network marketing after doing a search for a "home internet business" on google. At that time I was working flat out, up to 90 hours over 6 days every week. Truth is, like so many business owners my business completely consumed me and I felt completely shackled to the business. If I did not turn up for work I did not get paid. When the phone stopped ringing that's exactly what happened, I did not get paid. Experience tells me that being becoming self-employed in conventional business is really just buying yourself a low paid, stressful job that you are completely accountable for.

I could rarely take a holiday and when I did I could not relax as I knew I would have to rebuild the business when I got back. Taking stock of my life I felt extremely suffocated and distressed at the thought that this could be my existence for the next 5 to 10 years. I had to make a change in my life. I had 2 choices either to 1) sell up and relocate up north where the cost of living was much less and make a fresh start (I originally came from Preston, Lancashire) or  2) find a business that could give me a second income.

8 years previously I had been exposed to Network Marketing and liked the product/service distribution business model, especially the idea of creating a leveraged residual income. The exposure to network marketing came about when my wife Julie was running her uncles Post Office in Reigate and she was prospected by a post office customer. At that time I was in my 9th year of working as a Retail General Manager for the chain Dixons Group. The customer came over to our flat and explained the business which turned out to be Amway, and then invited us to a business opportunity meeting. As she was a consultant doctor who had massive credibility and her husband was a TV producer, I thought to myself its worth checking it out with an open mind. I went along and did my due diligence but ultimately decided not to pursue the business. Neither the timing nor the opportunity felt right for me then, but the introduction to the Network Marketing industry and business model proved to be very important.

Upon doing my research or "due diligence", I discovered that over $90 billion worth of goods and services were distributed using network marketing throughout 120 countries by 30 million plus distributors. The industry had created many millionaire distributors who had completely transformed their lives within a short few years of becoming involved.
