Heroes
<
My wife Julie: For having the courage, strength and faith in God to beat breast cancer, while always giving love and compassion to everyone in our family. There is a reason God put her on this earth to be a Nurse. My Dad: For being the example of honesty, positive thinking, strength, and spiritual integrity. My Mom: For showing us all the meaning of unconditional Love. My Grandma Pauline: She still did her Ballet exercises everyday, up until she passed at age 98. She was always a picture of graceful and elegance and when she danced it was like she was floating on air. I used to love to watch her she was breath taking, like poetry in motion, I would just drift away with her as she moved.
How
a “Family Man” from Houston Texas has put into
action a plan
to escape from Corporate America while permanently bringing his wife
home from
her J.O.B. as a direct result of uncovering some little known Secrets
most
business owners just don’t know.
In
ONE SHORT YEAR
we will have escaped … And we’re NOT GOING BACK TO
THAT LIFE !!
Hi,
my name is Bill Vannerus and I am the author and creator of
Welcome to my MySpace page.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
There are three main reasons why I created this MySpace profile:
First, I had hit “Burn Out”. The day to day grind
of Corporate life along with the struggles and challenges of building a
home based business using traditional
strategies, while still dealing with the 9 to 5 J.O.B. had taken its
toll, not only on me, but also on my
family. That is why I started branding myself and marketing my own
Business Online.
Second, I was just so sick and tired of all the
“Hype”. I’m sure you have run
across some of the BIG Pitches out there on the Internet (there must be
100’s if not
1000’s). The ones with the Glitzy capture pages …
with all the same old pictures of the Huge Mansion,
the Fast Cars, The Big Yacht, and the Tropical Getaways. The
… “How I went
from Rags to Riches Overnight” or …
“I’m Living the Dream
Now, Let me Show you How” … Now don’t
get me wrong here, I believe we all yearn for Success and those are all
symbols of Wealth & Prosperity, which I believe
is a positive thing. But, where was the “How” ?
… The real nuts and bolts steps
of how to really do it, of how to attract wealth and
prosperity into your life and build your business on a strong
foundation
of practical and proven principles … I
don’t know about you, but for me, it
always seemed to be missing.
Third, I wanted to connect with like minded people like yourself, to
share experiences and insights, new information and knowledge and give
back some of the value that I
have received with the hope that it might inspire you to discover new
alternatives like I have.
This is my Story ...
The
Struggles:
If you are anything like me, having to watch my wife leave every night
to go work exhausting 12 hr back to back graveyard shifts as a Nurse
leaving both of us away from
our family most of the time, all just to get by living pay check to pay
check. This was so
overwhelmingly frustrating and stressful for me and I just hated that
feeling of helplessness, not knowing if or how we
would ever be able to break out of this terrible rut we were in.
Seeing the sadness in our kids eyes when they asked, "why can't Mom
stay home tonight", or "Can't we do something with Dad this weekend ?",
and having to tell them,
"Sorry Honey, Mom has to work tonight", or "Dad really wants too, but
he has to go in to work this
weekend, maybe next time", or "Sorry, this is just the way life is
right now, things will get better
!!" ... But the sad fact was, things weren't getting better.
If you have ever had to say these kind of things to your children, then
you know exactly how it feels.
It just breaks your heart.
If you have had hopes and dreams of creating a better life for yourself
and your family ... and tried everything you know of to accomplish this
and just couldn't seem to
reach those goals, no matter how hard you have tried ...
Then, stay tuned ...
I want to share with you a little later how I have discovered a most
incredible way to make our dreams a reality that has completely changed
our lives forever, but first, let
me tell you a little bit about myself and my family and share with you
some of my experiences and
struggles along the path that brought me to this point in time...
Now,
A Bit About Myself & My Family:
My wife Julie and I have 6 kids and 5 grandkids. I was born in
Vancouver Canada in 1963, but grew up in Santa Cruz California hanging
out on the beach, running around in
the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz mountains and playing soccer. I
am the oldest of four sons.
My wife Julie was born in Burlington Wisconsin in (well, she wouldn't
let me put what year ... :-) )
She grew up on a Dairy farm, the 6th child in a family of eight.
Growing up, I was always involved in the day to day tasks that came
with operating our family property management business. I learned the
importance of working hard,
along with some valuable business management skills. The problem was
the small family business
model demanded 12 hour days, 7 days a week, so I had never learned the
importance of how to
leverage my efforts and as I struck out on my own, spent the better
part of the next 20
years working extremely hard to benefit someone else.
I spent alot of my early years doing alot of soul searching. For eight
of those years I devoted my life enterly to God going into
the seminary.
I completed my Masters in Theology and became an ordained Priest. This
path I had taken also including 4 years in the U.S. Army working
at a Top Secret Satellite Control facility monitoring communications
satellites for the Dept. of Defense.
I guess you could say I attracted just a tad of disipline into my life
back then, eh :-)
Chasing
Success - Climbing the Corporate Ladder:
After leaving the Military, I went to work for one of the defense
contractors that built the computer systems that controlled satellites
and finished my degree in Computer
Science … and so started my slow path up the Corporate
ladder.
After several years in the Corporate world, I began to sense that this
was not the "ticket" to the good life that it had been made out to be.
I was working hard, and not
getting ahead and so began the search for an answer, a solution that
would hopefully allow us to fulfill our dreams for a
better life for our family ... Enter "The Home Business
Opportunity"
Struggling
As a Home Based Business Owner:
My involvement in MLM and Network Marketing goes a way back to the late
80’s, and though I don’t like admitting it, I
failed miserably (more than once) with several of
the well know MLM programs. I jumped from one great program to the next
hoping to find the "Right
one", and with each new program, the promise of success ... I even
tried selling Insurance at
one point.
It wasn't that I didn't have the desire to succeed, or that my
motivation was lacking, or that my "WHY" wasn't big enough.
I had worked so hard putting into practice, all the old school ways of
building an MLM business, prospecting, creating the warm market list
and driving my family and
friends nuts, showing “The Plan”, inviting anyone
and everyone to “The
Meeting”, striking up conversations with complete
strangers just to try and give them “My One Minute
Message” all the while, in the back of my
mind, I knew there had to be a better way. It really
came
down to this.
Was this the way I would want to be treated? Is this the way I would
want to be approached about an Opportunity? Absolutely NOT.
In addition to alienating my friends and family and becoming a member
of the NFL(No Friends/No Family Left) club, I had spent every extra
dollar I had on advertizing, product samples,
attending all the local and regional events, and every course
on self improvement and
motivation that I could get my hands on.
Now, don't get me wrong here, I'm not knocking any of those things, and
actually I learned a lot about myself in those times (which I wouldn't
trade for anything) ... BUT ...
for all my efforts, it did not result in a better more prosperous way
of life for my family.
Desperation
Sets In:
After numerous tries with several different opportunities ... I dropped
out. Now, I hadn't given up on my dream completely. But being broke and
in debt up to my ears, I
headed back into Corporate America as the solution to my problem.
Another
Shot at Success:
It took me a couple of years before I
had the courage to take a look at starting my own business again, but I
knew being in business for your self was the route to success. In
the late 90’s I started my own consulting company and within
my first year, reached a six figure
income. I had found a niche market and had attracted the right clients
to me. This level of success
continued until about the time “911” hit and then
the market drastically changed. Almost overnight, business
dried up. I had not learned how to adjust and re-market myself, so I
had to walk away and for the
2nd time, I went back to a Corporate J.O.B. to recover. But, I
still did not give up on my dream, I knew
in my Heart, there had to be a better way (and guess what, there most
definitely is ... more on that in just a
minute …)
The
Family Story Continues:
I met my wife Julie in February 2000, just before Valentine’s
Day. Can you picture this ... ex soccer player/surfer dude from Cali
meets the farmer's daughter,
love at first sight ... I had 2 girls and Julie had 2 boys and 2 girls
(ya, I know, it's
practically the Brady Bunch :-) ).
Faced
with A New Challenge, The Spark Came Alive:
Now, within a year after we were married, a bit of tragedy struck our
family. Julie was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Now if you or someone
you know or love has ever gone
through anything like this, then you know how devastating it can
be. Something like this
can completely change your life as it did with us. I have to
say that through all of the struggle
and fear and pain, I so admire Julie's faith in God and her incredible
strength and positive attitude. An event like
this challenged every ounce of our character. We were most fortunate
that this was caught in the early
stages and by the Grace of God and with a lot of prayer, serious soul
searching and lifestyle
changes, she came through on the other side, completely cancer
free. Thanks be to God !!
I don't think that I have to tell you, that I was a changed man out of
this experience. One of the positive things that came out of Julie's
bout with Cancer was our
commitment to each other and our family to remove as much stress from
our lives as possible. I vowed
that I would get us out of the rat race of the Corp. life once and for
all ...
But, How was I going to accomplish this ?
I knew that I couldn’t take the same approach and use the
same old methods that had failed for me before. I knew I had
to learn and learn I did. A change in
Mind Set and a change in Business Strategy was in order …
and when the student is ready the teacher
appears …
The
Law of Attraction at Work:
I’ve always had an
entrepreneurial spirit and I knew that with desire and persistence the
right knowledge and opportunity would cross my path. It may have taken
me a
long time, since my earlier days with MLM and business ventures, but
some truly amazing leaders
with some absolutely incredible internet marketing techniques and
strategies have come into
my life within the last year.
What I have learned and what I have been fortunate enough to be privy
to, as I worked closely with my coaches, has completely changed how I
view and how I conduct my
business. In fact, it has completely turned my life around.
What was truly amazing is that all this new and exciting information
all crossed my path in a very short period of about three weeks
time.…
Discovering
The Secret:
Can you imagine how excited I was when I discovered I no longer had to
buy leads or make cold calls, pitch my business opportunity to my
friends, family and loved ones. I
don't have to worry about finding the right moment to unload my One
Minute Message on complete
strangers or spend hours on the phone trying to convince prospects to
join my business. I no longer
hand out flyers or hold coffee house meetings.
There is no need to weed through all the Hype and mis-information
floating around the internet today … because I'm not
searching for answers anymore, now I
understand, Now I get it !!
• Having the right Mindset is critical to attracting
success
into your life. Gratitude is one of the keys to achieving and
maintaining that all important positive outlook.
• To freely share and give away the information that has
brought success and prosperity into your life.
• Building relationships with people first based on
honesty,
trust and value is key to being successful.
• By helping others reach their dreams, you will reach your
own. Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM).
• When engaging in any business transaction, ALWAYS give
more
in value than what you receive in gain.
• Find great leaders/mentors, study exactly what they do,
then do exactly what they do.
• To Embody Leadership, Lead by example.
• No matter what your product or service is, learn and
apply
the strategies of internet marketing/web2.0 technology and strive to
become a master marketer.
• Create A Simple but well thought out Business Plan with
straight forward goals and achievable actions.
• Vow to never give up no matter what challanges cross your
path.
• Don't make excuses and take massive action.
Whether you have been in business for a while or are just getting
started ...
If you are now faced with any of the challanges like the
ones I have just been talking about.
• If you are sick and tired of struggling in a dead end
J.O.B
working long hours for someone else.
• If you are fed up with the same old worn out strategies
being taught and practiced by Network Marketers today.
• If you have had it up to here ... with just getting by
pay
check to pay check.
• If you find yourself out surfing the internet still
searching for the answers.
• If you keep buying ebooks, affiliate programs, this or
that
internet traffic "secret" and keep coming up short.
• If you have the unstoppable desire to succeed.
• If you have that "I Can Do Anything" entrepreneurial
spirit.
• If you have the mind-set of a champion and the heart of a
warrior.
• If you want the opportunity to learn how the top earners
are dominating our industry.
• If you want high quality prospects chasing you instead of
you chasing them.
