I Was Approaching Retirement
Age
But Didn't Have Enough Money
to Retire.
It
Looked Like I Would Be Working the Rest of My Life.
Now I Am Living The Life of
My Dreams.
Hi, this is Scott Hubbard,
creator of http://www.ProductsForPetHealth.com/ and http://www.HealthyCoffeeSource.com/. Yes, what you just read is true. As I approached my retirement
age, I had a strong desire to retire
from my Corporate JOB (Just Over Broke) but did not have enough money to do
that.
After years in Corporate America, I was
not experiencing the life of my dreams and found myself in a place of being
spread too thin; I was emotionally drained, unfocused, and trying to help others
achieve their dreams rather than my own.
Maybe you can relate to that no matter how old you are.
It was a scary situation for me. It looked like I would have to work at a
job for the rest of my life. It
made me sick just thinking about that.
I could have given up and applied for a
job greeting people at Walmart. But
I knew, deep down, that something great was in store for me. Although I had a successful business
career, I always felt that I could do so much more. I believed that I had not come anywhere
close to achieving my purpose for being on this earth.
So why am I writing this to you? Well, maybe you are in the same position
I was in. Maybe you are ready to
retire but can't afford to. If you
are still willing to work hard, continue to learn, and feel that the best is yet
to come in your life, then maybe, through our discussions, I can help you.
Or maybe you are not close to retirement
age but just want out of the grind of working a regular job. Maybe you want your spouse to not work so hard or
maybe quit that job forever. Maybe
you just want to spend more time with your family.
You see, I feel that each of us has
within ourselves the infinite power, knowledge, and wisdom to achieve whatever
we really want in life. I feel that
once we align ourselves with this power within us, we can create the prosperity
in our lives we deserve.
But we must make a choice. If we truly want more for ourselves - if
we want to reach our true potential, then we must draw upon this infinite power
and commit ourselves to doing what it takes to achieve our dreams.
I did make that choice, and I am so happy I did. I found the solution. Before I tell you more about that, let me tell you a little about myself.
So Who In The World Is Scott
Hubbard?....
My wife, Trish, and I live in Tampa,
FL. We have been married for 37
years. We have two grown children,
Josh and Jessica, both adopted from Cali, Colombia in South America.
I grew up in Nashville, TN (God's
country) and later went to college at Vanderbilt University. After graduating, I had a tour as an
officer in the United States Navy.
My tour included two trips to the Mediterranean Sea, an extended stay in
New York City, and some nice visits to ports in the Caribbean Sea. I really enjoy traveling and have
visited most of the states in the USA.
I have a strong desire to some day return to Europe and other locations
overseas.
After serving in the Navy, I went to the
University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN and got my Masters in Finance and
Accounting. After graduating I
passed the CPA exam and started my career as an accountant at GENESCO, a wearing
apparel company.
I mention GENESCO because that is where I
met Trish. She was from Shelbyville, TN, about 50 miles southeast of
Nashville. By the way, Shelbyville
is the Walking Horse Capitol of the World.
She had recently graduated from Memphis University in Memphis, TN and had
been hired by GENESCO as a programmer.
My department needed a software program
done for us. I was given the
responsibility of coordinating the program on the accounting side and, of
course, Trish was assigned to do the programming. The program was completed successfully,
but more important to me, Trish and I were married about one year later.
We had much in common. Church was an extremely important part
of our lives. We were both very
close to our families. We loved to
travel and have been on some great vacations over the years. We loved animals. In fact, when we started dating, one of
Trish's greatest possessions was a Miniature Schnauzer puppy, Misty. That beloved little dog was our child
for 13 years.
Every few years, I received promotions
within GENESCO - Assistant Controller, Controller, Chief Financial Officer, and
Vice President of Finance for a conglomerate of companies. We moved to beautiful Knoxville, TN and
later to Cheshire, CT. We lived in
New England for over 9 years and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
We loved the beautiful foliage and
scenery in all the New England states, skiing in Vermont, Broadway plays in New
York City, and plays, symphonies, and Red Sox games in Boston. More than anything, we just loved the
people we met there.
It was during our time in Connecticut
that we adopted Josh. Trish and I
traveled to Colombia to get him. He
was 9 months old when we brought him home.
I have to say that Josh was probably the cutest baby I have ever
seen. Of course, I am not
biased.
Three years later I was transferred to
Lexington, KY, and it was there that we adopted Jessica. She was 17 months old when we got
her. Two years later we were back
in Nashville. We have now lived in
Tampa, FL for over 10 years.
My Interests and
Hobbies....
We are still doing the things we have
always enjoyed. We are very active
in our church and we still enjoy traveling.
One of my biggest hobbies is
gardening. I pride myself in
having a well-landscaped yard. I
particularly enjoy growing rose bushes.
I have had vegetable gardens - anywhere from a 10' x 10' garden all the
way to a 50' x40' plot in Connecticut.
Taking care of that big garden almost cost me my marriage. I quickly learned that a garden of that
size, although lots of fun, was a big mistake.
Trish and I have always enjoyed our dogs
- Miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzers, and several rescued and adopted
mutts. They have always been an
important part of our family. Romeo (my daughter named him), our 4-year old
Spitz/Corgi mix, is with me here in the picture. He is our only dog now. He is the most affectionate dog we've
ever owned.
My Big
Decision....
I must say that my career has been
successful. I have followed the
general rules to achieve the "American Dream." I got a good education, I got a job, and
worked very hard. And I do mean
"hard" - generally 50-80 hours per week.
I was very loyal to my company and did everything the President asked me
to do.
Although I made good salaries over the
years, it was still just a JOB.
After all those years, I found that I was still not where I wanted to be
financially. I was approaching
retirement but couldn't afford to retire.
Life just gets in the way sometimes. For me it was major unanticipated
children expenses, a business failure, and a pension plan that vanished. Maybe some of you can relate to
that.
I had made thousands of decisions
throughout my career. I then made
the most important decision ever - I wanted out!!! I was tired of the daily commute. I couldn't take working for someone else
anymore. I was tired of helping my
boss achieve his dreams and not getting close to achieving mine. I wanted to get out of Corporate
America. But in my case, it
certainly didn't happen right away.
And that is an understatement!
So Trish and I got involved in a home
based business. In fact we got into
another one a couple of years later.
MLM was a struggle for us for
several years. Although we started
having good success later on, we still struggled because we just didn't enjoy
the process of chasing after people, trying to convince them to join our
"opportunity," and then keeping them motivated and active after they
joined. We are no longer involved
in those businesses.
But my desire to leave my job was now
stronger than ever. Yes, I still
was working at that corporate job.
I told you earlier that my move from Corporate America didn't take place
over night. I was still not where I
needed to be financially.
I then became a rep for a company that
provides high quality food and products to dogs and cats. Not only did this satisfy our desire to
give the very best nutrition to our two dogs, it also allowed us to help other
pet lovers and pet professionals find the best food for their pets and their
clients' pets.
I Save the Best For
Last....
Those of you who have read to this point
remember that I wanted out of my corporate JOB. Yes, I was still in that job several
years after making the decision to leave it. I had tried hard but had not reached the
level financially where I thought I could say goodby to my boss.
You're probably thinking that this guy,
Scott Hubbard, just doesn't have what it takes to make it on his own. But you are wrong!! I have quit my job.
The internet marketing industry has allowed me to retire from that CFO position - to get out of Corporate America!
Internet network marketing provides a beautiful business model. If done correctly, it provides a way for good people to get out of their present situation, a situation that is not working. It allows them to move to a place where they can find peace, joy, and abundance . It allows them to reach their financial and lifetime goals.
It is important to find the right business. But I think the most important factor in having a successul business is to know how to market your product, your service, or your business. Without this, you have no chance.
The key to successful marketing is attracting prospects to you rather than chasing after them. You must have people contacting you with a genuine interest in buying everything you have to offer. It's even better when you can find qualified prospects for free.
Once you have mastered this skill, it doesn't matter what business you are in. Master this skill and you can become very, very successful.
In order to become a marketing expert, you must have detailed, step by step training from beginning to end.
I have been able to retire from Corporate America, not just because I found a wonderful business, but because I found the perfect internet marketing training at a very affordable cost.

Thanks for bearing with me through all of
this information about me. I hope
we have an opportunity to talk in the future. I wish you the very best!!
