About me:

Upon graduating high school, I found myself in a very uncomfortable situation, a single mom! Wow, where do I go from here. I had ..very few choices.. at the time and I ultimately decided that the best path for me and my child was to go to college.

.. ......Well in 2003, I graduated from University of California – Davis. It was a lot of work but I finally made it. Now, where do I go from here? Get a job!

.. ......I waited tables at several restaurants, worked at the casino, prepared tax returns, etc, but working a job was not going to provide the.. FREEDOM.. to choose what I wanted to do with my time or provide the lifestyle I want from myself and my son.

.. ......I am fortunate to have been raised in an entrepreneurial and a free spirited family. With this upbringing, I was encouraged to take my ideas and establish businesses to create a comfortable lifestyle. I have tried several business ventures, which failed miserably.

.. ......First, I followed the normal business model, a traditional “brick and mortar” business, with employees and enormous overhead expense, and the typical day to day headaches that did not make this experience very rewarding.

.. ......Then I ventured out from the norm and I tried several network marketing and MLM programs, but still did provide me with the ultimate ..FREEDOM.. I was in search of.

.. ......

As long as I can remember, I have been a numbers guy. Upon graduating from Clemson University, with a Finance degree and minor in Accounting, I decided to enter the professional world as an Accountant primarily because the jobs were in demand and it paid a pretty good wage.

.... ....Now some 14 years later, I am still in the Finance and Accounting profession and I have done well working in a corporate environment for Fortune 1000 companies located in Chicago, Atlanta, and Alameda, CA. When I say that I have done well, I mean I make a six figure income, hold a certain amount of prestige with my occupation (if that what really matters to you), and have worked very hard to develop a resume that will keep me gainfully employed.

.... ....Although things appear to be going well, there was so much work and sacrifice to stay on top of your job looking to obtain the next promotion and meet your annual objectives, so you can ultimately make your bonus at the end of the year. There was no life-balance; it was all work and really not so much fun. I somehow lost myself for a period of 7-10 years and I felt as though I was missing something. What was I missing? FREEDOM!

.... ....I realized that I was not free and I really did not have FULL control over my own success in the corporate world. I was specifically tied to the success of the company and worked just as hard as the CEO of the company, but was not rewarded with the same outrageous “golden parachute” packages.

.... ....My ACTION for myself was simple… Find an opportunity that would allow me to make my current income, with a one-fourth of the effort. This would provide me with the FREEDOM I so desired!
