If you are anything like me, you want to be your own boss, set your own schedule, and have the flexibility of working from *ANYWHERE*.
If you are like me you were probably taught to go to college for 4 years, graduate, get a nice so-called “secure” job with different benefits like health insurance, dental, stock options, 401K, etc. Then, work real hard for 30 to 40 years so you can live off your retirement fund before your *mediocre* life ends. (only slighty sarcastic)
WELL, Guess What? I was told this too!!
This was not the route that I wanted to go and I knew there had to be another way………
The reason why I created this MySpace page is because I'm just so sick and tired of meeting all these wonderful, gifted, and talented entrepreneurs...
...only to find out that they've lost their passion for life and given up on their dreams by working for someone else and settling for a low-paying J-O-B! (J-O-B = J.ust O.ver B.roke!)
And so my goal with this MySpace page is to bring back "H.O.P.E." to all of the bright, young, ambitious 'could-be' leaders out there who have given up on their dreams!
H.O.P.E. equals =
H.elping
O.ther
P.eople

I've been absolutely blessed to be a full-time entreprenuer working from home and making money on the internet.
And all I do is use free websites like MySpace, YouTube, and many other Web 2.0 platforms to promote my business, get free leads, and drive massive traffic to my websites without having to spend a single dime on advertising.
I'll show you later how you can get access to my 12 FREE training videos that will walk you through step-by-step on how I'm getting tons of *FREE* exposure for my business using all these new Web 2.0 websites...
But first, let me just tell you a little bit more about myself:
So, Who Is This Mike
Blongiewicz guy anyway?
I was born and raised 25 minutes northwest of Washington D.C. in a city known as Gaithersburg, Maryland (Yes, Redskins are my team when it comes to football—always have been, always will be!). I’m proud to say that Gaithersburg is the 2nd largest city in Maryland. Although, I have a funny feeling you’ve never even heard of the stinkin’ city!
Ok, I’ll admit it, I still live here and I’m looking forward to the day when I can head out west to California or Oregon. This high-paced and “GO-GO-GO” lifestyle of the east coast is not a match for my easy-going personality.
Living in Suburbia U.S.A. was a *great environment* when I was younger and I got to have so many neighborhood friends right outside my doorstep.
Often times, my friends would just walk down the street to my house and we would all play basketball on the driveway. Sometimes we would play football in my backyard (not to brag but my house had the BIGGEST lawn in the entire neighborhood!).
My friends and I also enjoyed playing street hockey on rollerblades or living dangerously by jumping off ramps (that we made ourselves by sawing and nailing pieces of scrap wood together)!
I remember almost sawing my finger off once with the saw. I didn’t but I did get quite a few stitches. Aahhhh…….good times (I can now look back and laugh:-)
When it was time to go to high school, I felt like I was becoming more of an adult. This was nice….having more responsibility…..going to a larger school……being thrown into a mix of all sorts of different people.
I was excited.....HOWEVER(eek!).....in the middle of 9th grade, I started hanging around a crowd that wasn’t necessarily the best influence for me at the time. School started to look less and less appealing and hanging with my “NEW” friends skipping school to smoke cigarettes seemed like much more fun.
My grades took a turn for the worse and I started failing a lot of my classes. Long story short, I was able to turn things around by my senior year and I barely squeezed by with a diploma. Whew!! (that was a big weight off my shoulders)
After high school, I had *NO REAL PLANS* and I ended up going to a community college because it was the easy thing to do (they accept virtually everyone). Most students had been accepted to major universities and colleges.
Hey, I took the path less traveled----I actually felt a little bit like a *failure* for not meeting the standards of the majority of students! *NOT* a good feeling. I attended community colleges OFF and ON for a couple of years.
I was pursuing a degree called Information Systems (IT) with computers cause I thought it would be a lucrative field since computers are used for just about *EVERYTHING.* I did not make it through college and I dropped out............
............I hated school and the whole way it was designed with tests, exams, grades, reading boring textbooks, and having professors that put you to sleep. Learning *WAS NOT* fun in that environment.
It wasn't until I stepped out of [conventional] school and started learning about different subjects simply because I was sincerely interested in them.
(Not because someone TOLD ME TO!)
I learned mainly about nutrition, holistic health, spirituality, creating healthy relationships, public speaking, ways to continually improve myself, and of course,
music (I play guitar in a rock band--listen to our groovy tunes @
www.myspace.com/limbicroots
)
Let me tell you something ****when you start exploring areas that you are passionate about without having someone watch every move you make (like in conventional schools) you naturally want to learn more and more!****.
I never understood why all my friends used to tell me how much they hated school and couldn’t wait for the day they were done.
Now they are done with college and they are still *miserable* working for some corporation that *under* pays them and OVER works them. I told myself, “Whatever fate befalls me, that would not be it!”
Figuring out *HOW* I would do this did not come quickly. I was a *slow-learner* and just like it took me several years in high school to clean my act up, it took me several years to figure out my way to *SUCCESS* outside of the mainstream industry.
I worked countless jobs during those years. My first job I scrubbed dishes at Pizza Hut! Some other jobs included being a stocker at Whole Foods Market, cleaning the club locker room at a golf course, front doorman at Guitar Center, pizza delivery driver, cashier at a café, catering for business offices, marketing for a chiropractic office, and the list goes ON and ON.
One thing is common with all those jobs: They started out great and quickly began to become a drag! I did *not* wake up everyday to my very *LOUD* alarm clock with a smile on my face (to say the least).
I would roll out of bed and fight traffic just to get somewhere I didn’t want to be. WHY? I actually didn’t know why until I realized I was blinding myself from any other possibilities.
I thought this is what people do---gotta find that job, gotta show up on time and look your best (for me this was wearing silly uniforms or neon colored shirts:-), and finally, do as you are told so you can get a raise (maybe, if even that)!
Then, the shift HAPPENED……I was
exposed to a SECRET which opened the
door for ME!
A close friend of mine had given me a DVD of this guy named, Robert Kiyosaki. I was like, “What’s this guy all about?” I popped it into my DVD player and then I discovered what I had been doing the whole time.
For a long time, I had been going to work for someone else’s dream! (helping my boss become richer and richer) I was not following my dream and that’s why every job I had was great for a moment and then went downhill.
I was fulfilling my boss’s mission, **NOT MINE**. On the DVD I learned about the "Cash Flow Quadrant" and how employees are at the bottom of this cycle and get the worst deal. IT HIT ME!! (ready to hear my wake up call?)
"Voices" in my HEAD were saying I was made to me a **business owner** and to have the freedom I deserved along with receiving Good Solid Passive income.
OK, now I knew my path but what
vehicle was I going to take along this journey to becoming a business owner?
First of all, when I got clear about being a business owner I began to attract people in my life who were presenting me with different business options (rather randomly I would like to add)
The people who approached me were people involved in Multi-Level Marketing. I had an open mind but I also remembered hearing about so called “pyramid schemes” in the past so I was reluctant. After hearing how they operate it made a lot of sense to me.
Some of the companies include Quixtar, Primerica, BWW, and many different nutriceuticals. However, none of these really called to me and they wanted me to chase down all my friends and family to sign-up (not something I was fond of)!
NONE of them provided me the guidance I needed to walk me through each step of the way. I also had to track down and call all my own prospects.
Then……after I was about to "throw in
the towel" with all MLM systems
...there was **ONE MORE**
I came across a woman from Texas named Mari-Ann Lisenbe. Mari-Ann worked as a software designer in Corporate America for 15 years. When the company Mari-Ann worked for decided to shift their operations she was laid off and her job was given to someone in India.
OOUCH!! Mari-Ann then realized she did not want to work for other people and started to create her own reality. I was so drawn to Mari-Ann’s story and contacted her because I wanted to create my own reality as well and not work for others.
Mari-Ann pointed me in the direction of a guy who goes by the name of Dennis Karginilla. (at this point I was getting very hot!)
It was an AHA! Moment.
I knew I had found what I had been
looking for!
Dennis Karginilla is the creator of MLMGoldmine and he taught me step by step how to market myself on the internet. Dennis exposed THE SECRETS of how using the **The Law of Attraction** power of MySpace (after all, that's why you are now reading this) +PLUS+ tapping into the explosion of YouTube videos and social networking sites (WEB 2.0) would have people chasing me down wanting more.
Dennis basically took me by the hand and guided me through the entire process. He's sincerely committed to my success online. I simply can't fail as a member of MLMGoldmine a.k.a "The Ohana Family!"
OHANA = "No One Gets Left Behind." That couldn't be more true.
Since I have been with MLMGoldmine and The "Ohana" Family, I am now able to work from home and make $1000-$3000 from one sale all day long(this is 4 times as much from working one whole week at my old full-time job.)
I will now be able to spend more time writing music, focusing on my health, hanging out with my four energetic nephews, and traveling this amazing world! With the money I will be making I KNOW I will be able to make the move out west sooner than I realized.
