..Welcome!
My name is Ana Hernandez. I really appreciate your interest and the time you’re taking to learn a bit more about me and I respect you time so I’ll try to be brief.....
First, I still and will probably always choose to work offline. Not because I have to but because I have these two great passions in my life.
The first is a genuine love of serving people and their needs- the very passions that led me into the field of medicine. In fact, I’ve been a very successful family physician since 1995 and since that time I've made quite a career for myself. I went into solo practice in 1998 even purchasing my own office space. Yeah, you guessed it! I certainly did pick up my share of those nasty little headaches & responsibilities that come with being 'the boss'. Any idea what it takes to roll out a profession and forge a career? Let's see.......
Student loans? "Ka-Ching! $100 grand" ....
And that's just the tip of this iceberg... ....
… add business & mortgage loans, licenses, employees, medical & office supplies, health malpractice & liability insurance costs, utilities, maintenance, inspectors, inspections, employees, janitors, continuing medical education courses & seminars… ....
"Ka-Ching! Ka-Ching! Ka-Ching!
Care to guess how much?" ....
Oh, and did I mention employees? Now there's another chapter of pain.......
So what's my second passion you might ask? Well if you heard my little blurb you already know that I'm truly passionate about marketing! You see I'm one of those crazy type A's that just can't stay still! It wasn't enough for me to just graduate and trump off to work. Nope! I had more dreams to make a reality and shortly after my graduation from medical school I made my online debut with one of the most welcomed and powerhouse newsletter in the market at the time. I named my project, "NETfabulous! Marketing- A study on the lost art of common-sense marketing" and I loved every minute of it. That was the short version; actually it was originally titled “NETrageouz! Marketing” until a little tug of war ensued with another online presence coining the “netrageous” term, so not to quibble I concede the name change and went about my way delivering powerful marketing materials to 1,000’s of eager readers each month. But alas, all things have their time and medicine was my first duty. In fact, I was SO GOOD at marketing that I built a 3,000 patient practice in little less than 3 years! "SO, when can I sleep?" I asked myself. And of course the answer obviously led to the demise of "NETfabulous!" ...But I'm back! ....
In truth, yes I'm a doctor and know medicine. But I know ONE SIMPLE THING that most business people in their professions soon forget.. I know that, "I am not just a physician, I also MARKET medical services". I focus everything I do through the lense of my customer’s perspective. This is how any business is made successful, by using common sense marketing which is common to those businesses that become uncommonly successful!....
Now after building the behemoth, I’ve used my extremely successful marketing skills to offer and land the sale of this medical practice for an incredibly insane profit! Yahoo!! I've just unloaded the mother load of headaches and now that the administrative part is off my back I can get back to my second passion! And not a minute too soon either, I say. ....
Look, if you're a business owner now or contemplate soon becoming one, be sure to tread lightly through troubled waters friend.
Think virtual! If only to allow yourself the opportunity of dreaming BIG! Dream of portability, dream of cash leveraging, dream of automation and NEVER NEVER underestimate the power of RESIDUAL INCOME! Believe me, if you think selling your time for money's a good ticket, let me reset your mind. I tell you that there is not enough time in the day that you can sell that will be enough to build your nest egg while living comfortably and fully in the present moment. And I don't mean the 'yuppie' credit card financed version either. I mean "The Millionaire Next Door" book by Thomas J. Stanley version. If you haven't read it, go pick up your copy from Amazon books. You see, if you want to know the true meaning of success you need to focus on what is TRUE and I just want you to give yourself the opportunity of knowing, as I have discovered, the true meaning of success. But I digress… ....
Today, I have the privilege of sharing with you my excitement about having found the answers to a longstanding dilemma. I have developed the perfect 'virtual office model'. It’s like holding a winning lotto ticket when you work closely with experienced marketers using solid online business models that are built to endure the test of time. Working with not just ONE but TWO of the strongest team leaders in the virtual business industry is a treat! "It's Double Jackpot!"
I'm learning quickly from their combined years of marketing mistakes and corrections and steering clear of pitfalls and the bling, bling offers online (you know the ones). My eyes are open to the fact that all that glitters online is NOT GOLD, far from it! The fancy suits, the boats, the cars and the flying dollar bills are just 'pie in the sky' tools of here today, gone tomorrow false gurus!! Forget about all that! ....
Listen, this is a real opportunity. Our motto, “this ain't no sprint, it’s a marathon" sums up our belief in sure footing and missile-guided direction. After pouring over books and programs, my best decision was to find stupendous training coaches to work with as I swim through these shark infested waters of the online marketing world. And I made great decisions! For one thing, I don't have to physically sell anything. Nada. Zip! I don't do Herbalife or Amway or stock any %@#& in the basement... No, thank you!....
Finally I can say that the Secrets For Passive & Residual Income Freedom have been revealed to me. After nearly 3 decades of hard work and sacrifices made to secure a higher education, I've finally found a crash course on making the types of money ~ Passive and Residual Income ~ that can set us all free!
The BEST benefit of this secret is that the product is highly appealing to me, as it will be for you and for the millions of others in this world that are achieving financial freedom and more time to enjoy it!
With the economy suffering great blows from the greed and poor fiscal planning of this nation, another money shift is about to explode onto the scene! I have seen this cycle before; however, I may never have this opportunity come around again in my lifetime. Think about it.. Could This Be The Right Time For You To Change The Course Of Your Life? Why gamble on the chances. See for yourself if this Instant Retirement Income Special Report can show YOU what I've discovered.
What Do You Have To Lose? Our 401k's are losing $100’s of dollars each day right now, so for a few extra dollars (less than dinner for two) I have discovered the missing piece of the puzzle! ..Now You Can Discover It Also!
Really, what are you waiting for? Check out http://InstantRetirementIncome.com Today.
And while I can still be a 'doc' in the real world I now have the ability to choose my work schedules and to work when I want to and not because I need to. Wouldn’t you agree with me that this is the definition of true wealth?! And best of all, my bills are all paid up! Blissful! My life changed because I chose to take the challenge and forged great relationships with high achievers in this industry - some as high as seven figure earners! With their help I catapult to greater levels of achievement, doing quickly what would have taken me years to learn and to accomplish. "Who the heck has time for the learning curve? Not me!” I just implement what works, and toss out the rest. And isn't this why most businesses fail? See, most people just can't learn fast enough to keep from getting burned before they are out of money! Don't let this happen to you! ....
I want to help you build a virtual business. To be successful all you need to do is follow proven ‘common sense marketing strategies’ from mentors that are already doing so successfully. I am truly interested in YOUR success!....
More Personal History....
Well, you know the story so far. Filling in some details: There was premed, and med school, and internship, and residency, and then work, work, work... Along the way I made dean's list for 2 semesters in premed, graduated with honors from med school in 1992, was elected Chief Resident of the Family Practice Department in 1994-1995 and had lots of other interesting and wonderful things happen in my career that were very exciting and special to me. ....
I really don't mean to put it all out there because I know that entrepreneurial greatness does not come from inheriting special genes, or from inborn talents. You do not need to be intellectually gifted, or inherit a huge bank account to succeed in business. Success is not dependent on race, color or social status. It’s all about the winning marketing mindset that you need to learn from us. I talk of my success because I want to give you a sense that I have known success, direction and consistency throughout my life. So, why would my online presence be anything less?....
My Hobbies....
I love classical music. I was trained formally on the piano and have a beautiful piano that plays for me when I don't have the time to play for myself. I trained myself informally on the guitar (pianos are unusually non-portable. A mild oversight ..on my part…). ....
.. ..I love gardening and making room on this planet for more green stuff and butterflies. I adore animals and have absolutely no shame to just crawl about the floor and get to their level anytime possible (trust me; my partner gives me grief for that one). I paint. I like to faux paint, to add textures and age wall & doors. ....
Don’t ask me how but I make time for all of the things that I love to do! ....
Can you afford to do the same in your life?
Can you afford not to?
....
Life's too darn short to sacrifice todays for tomorrows.....
.. ..
Friends and Family ....
I love time with family and friends. In fact, life without sharing special moments is not good enough, I just don’t care how much money you make. If you don’t have the time for your friends and family you are not rich by any means!....
You can view my photo album to see pictures snapped of my family while partying and celebrating for New Year’s Eve 2007! I was all smiles now that life has changed & I have new found time to enjoy those precious moments with the people I most love.
Time passes so quickly that it’s shameful to waste it doing the things that don’t stimulate your creativity!....
You'll also get to see a goofy-faced pic I snapped up of my dad. So, how exactly do you get your dad to go completely childlike you might ask?
It's Easy! Surprise him with a bag full of childhood dreams… A new tee, trunks, cap, huge beach towel and flip flops after church on Sunday in honor of his birthday & treat your whole family to a huge breakfast brunch buffet at Nikki Beach in South Beach Florida, that’s how!
I've also included a picture of someone wonderful who's not just my mom, but who's also my best friend. She is the first & greatest mentor in my world having taught me ‘common sense’ rules on living a good life. She taught me the Laws of Karma whose lessons include things like “Never take more than you need & never take if it disregards the needs of others”. To this day I try to give as much, if not more than I receive in anything that I do in life. Thank you so much mother, you are my greatest inspiration for rightful living. .. ..
The picture shows mom riding the Carnival Cruise Lines' escalators to board weekend cruise to the Bahamas with us! It wasn’t her birthday though. It was just something that came up on the fly and we all went with it. She’s retired, and thankfully I am financially capable of doing these wonderfully spontaneous activities with my family in celebration of living! You know, you can never tell how many days you've got left with the ones that sacrificed their desires and youth to develop you into the magnificent creature of God that you are! Mom's just SO worth it...
I 've thrown in some photos reminding me of a very exciting time in my life not so long ago! These shots show me with my two very best friends (the ladies dressed in black standing by me) and some special acquaintances that we made in Tampa Florida back in 2006. The three of us formed a Real Estate Investor’s Club , naming it ‘The Trinity Group’.
But this wasn’t just about fun. It was VERY lucrative & wildly exhilarating using the extra cash coming in to soak up some real estate bargains. Trinity bought and sold several new homes in the ....Tampa.. ..Bay.... area and used our marketing skills to make wonderful returns on our money. When you have great life-long friendships in mutually respectful relationships it just feels like family, making it very easy mixing the business with pleasure...
.. ..
But we're not just goofing’ around, we were there to do business. And we just can’t wait to see the current market give us the signals that it’s time to repeat our success again!....
.. ..
It’s all about marketing, timing and about having the resources at your beck and call when the market turns in your favor!
Just for fun, I threw in a silly shot of me enjoying Halloween dress up last year! Yeah, I can’t help myself…
If it weren’t so darn bizarre I would probably just trick or treat with the kids too! I’m not platinum blonde as you can tell from my other pictures, I have very dark brown hair but it’s all about the dress up and the fun of it. I had a blast that night!....
.. ..
My Second Passion....
Did I mention my newsletter? Hee hee, shameless... But I have to show you that 'I've been here, done that!’ so I’ve googled some information for you. In fact, I ran a search for my name and the newsletter in google 'cause I just can't find the darn disks for my back issues. But don't worry, if you're interested I'm republishing them and you can subscribe to my newsletter by RSS feed located at www.netrageouz.net. See, even if my businesses are not right for YOU I'll still love ya' and show you how to market online. ....
I also did a search for a marketing friend I made along the way and to my great pleasure realize that he's a big shot now!
Mr. Jim Daniels of JDD Publishing was kind and secure enough to admit that I had a pretty good thing going. So in his debut book he mentioned a handful of competitor newsletters online which he fancied and mine happened to be one of them! Jim’s been spotted in marketing mags the likes of Opportunity Magazine, Inc.'s 301 Marketing Ideas, Wealth Building Magazine, Six Figure Income, ZDNet and more. Here's what he wrote about my "NETfabulous! Marketing" Ezine:....
"The Competition"
By JDD Publishing
Is it good business sense for someone to display their competition before the eyes of their very own subscribers?....
Well, in the real world, probably not. But on the net, things work a little differently. The number one reason people are here in the first place is to soak up knowledge at every turn.....
This global pool of knowledge works best when people share the best sources of wisdom with as many people as possible.....
That said, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite internet marketing ezines. A few of these are brand new and a few have been around a while. If you're not already receiving these free zines, you should start.....
Note: These great resources are a very small part of my new book, "Insider Internet Marketing". The "power ezine" section contains 50 of these powerful resources. Below you'll find a small sampling. For details on "Insider Internet Marketing", see the resource box at the bottom.
All of the following ezines are always PACKED with useful information in the way of internet marketing, and also offer very low cost, targeted advertising opportunities:
