Stop and Learn How a 46 year old Mailman and Struggling Entrepreneur Decided to Align Himself with a Top Team of Successful Network Marketers
HI! My Name Is Steve Barrow And I Am The Creator And Author Of StevenCBarrow.com & Secrets2Sponsoring.com
I have always had the dream to be financially successful and the desire to help other spirited entrepreneurs... Today I enjoy doing business through a fun and powerful philosophy of teamwork and working on my business by giving massive value to others. That is why I co-created Secrets2sponsoring and our popular Free 7 Day "Web 2.0 Online Marketing Course". Please read the blog above my slideshow that explains why having good mentors and coaches are critical when developing a successful online business. However before I rave about my biz today allow me to share how I got to where I am today.
It has not always been like this...
I am originally from the suburban metropolis of Bellevue, Washington, 20 miles east of the exciting city of Seattle. I was the oldest of three boys in the family and was always very competitive and always wanted to be succesful on my own terms. In 1980, I graduated from Sammamish High School-Go Totems! I was most remembered as a top state Trumpet player and #2 Tennis player at my high school.
I had a wonderful experience growing up, knowing my dad who was a school teacher, had the summer off . We would spend a lot of time playing tennis and going fishing, etc... However, it always felt like we had money challenges and that we were in lack. This feeling of lack and seeing others with a better lifestyle set the stage for my desire to become wealthy.
I knew I had to make changes but did not know where to turn...
So I made the decision everyone makes coming out of high school and wanting to make a lot of money, right ? Wrong... I decide to join the Navy. Although it was hard work, I recall the fun travel and great friends I shared time with.
The greatest thing that came from my time in the military was that I met my current Wife of 20 years, Beth. We have a wonderful marriage and she is an exceptional wife and mother to our 3 teenagers - Kayla, Matthew and Samantha. I am truly grateful for this blessing.
I wanted more for my family...
After marriage I decided to leave the Navy. I started working for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and later got hired as a mailman for the US Postal Service. I continued my stable job to put food on the table, but my desire for financial independence led me to continuously look for opportunities outside the 9 to 5 job. First I started a network marketing venture where I quickly was touted as the next success (...as I built an organization that was shrinking faster than I was growing it!). After 4 years of frustration, the stress from continuously losing money was too much and I left network marketing vowing to never come back to the industry.
So I went back to the security of my job and then later enrolled in college to get a "better job" Three years later I recieved my degree in Business from the University Of Washington, accomplishing this while working full time and even spending time to coach my son's baseball team!
Once an entreprenuer always an entrepreneur...
I continuously was searching for better opportunities. I worked part-time as a Tax Preparer while working full time at the Post Office as well as a short stint with a Mortgage Co. I eventually realized that I needed to unleash my entrepreneurial spirit so that I could replace my full time income and create a better lifestyle for my family.
My journey finally resulted in me looking at the sales and marketing industry again when I was approached with a promising opportunity. I went the extra mile and started having success. However, I wanted to really become a professional marketer and attract quality people to not just any opportunity... but to the best opportunity.
So one day I started to search the Internet to find better ways to build a home based business. I was quite skeptical about many of the claims, however I discovered that the key for building successful businesses all pointed to self development, the use of cutting edge online strategies as well as using the proven traditional methods, CORRECTLY. Also, I realized that although the Internet offered tremendous resources for branding, advertising and attracting quality prospects; none of this mattered if you were in the wrong business or with the wrong team. I finally discovered how EXTREMELY important it was to be on the RIGHT TEAM and in a business that has a product that EMOTIONALLY drives you!
So, if you are serious about becoming financially independent...give me a call. I enjoy networking with like minded people and sharing stories of success as well as helping with challenges you face.
As a final note I would ask you to evaluate 2 criteria:
1) Are you satisfied with the results you are getting in developing financial security for you and your family & 2) Imagine how big your business could be if you could effortlessly attract hundreds of quality people per week because you were in a business that offered a product or service that everyone you met needed, desired and would be excited to share with everyone they met. (52 weeks x100= 5200 quality people in a year looking for what YOU OFFER)
I hope you are thinking big because MOST OF THE CHALLENGES I FACED WERE BECAUSE I WAS NOT IN A BUSINESS THAT 110% EMOTIONALLY GOT ME EXCITED LIKE WHAT I DO NOW & WHEN I FOUND THE RIGHT BUSINESS THE LOCK OPENED AND THEN THINGS STARTED TO WORK!!!
Trust Me when I say... "You are closer to success than you think", God Bless, I Look Forward To Meeting!!!

Sup, I'm hoping you'll help me out. I'm trying to make a friends category on here of all my vegetarian friends. So if you're vegetarian comment me to let me know, k?
Exhaustive list of Nutrients
I have a list of vegetarian sources for every of these nutrients if anyone wants to see that, let me know. I'd post it here but it'd take up the space of like 40 comments. Basically you HAVE to eat greens, beans, nuts, cruciferous veges, yellow veges and mix a couple drops of povidone iodine into a daily glass of water. The iodine is very important. It becomes growth hormone in your thyroid which fuels the growth of your brain and body. It can effect your IQ by 15%! It's mostly in seafoods but seafood is grossly contaminated with mercury due unfiltered coal power plant pollution.
Sweetness laughing as being tickle tortured. Haheh heh heh.
I hope you'll check out my turtle pics. I found Sweetness, my first snapping turtle, trying to cross the road in Wakefield. I scooped her up, learned how to raise a turtle and we've been bestest for life since. I got her a little playmate Daniel Slimy Kelley by the mail. That Turtle was godawful sick when it arrived. It was yellow from head to toe. I got the fungal infection under control with turpentine, h2o2 and iodine. The turtle's looking A LOT better now.
