The Lay off.

Those of you who know me know that I am due to be laid off from my full time job around the 12th of this month. I am so ready.

I have been doing technical support for an ISP. There are people who really don't think that their computer works if it can't connect to the internet and they haven't even found the start button on their computer screen yet.

My husband has been very supportive. I have started a couple of online streams of income and had hoped not to go back to a real job and he, (God Bless him) is in favor of this even though I am not yet making what I had made at the old job. He can see the potential and so is ready to dig in his heals with me and work the business... Now the businesses. I have friends in the industry who are making 6 figure incomes. I have positioned myself behind them and so here we go!

We already have some of our first sign ups. I am already planning a month vacation for next year. :) I have an itinerary that I have been working on for a nice long drive down PCH in California with my husband. It sets my goal and my tone for this year. We will end our trip visiting my folks for a bit and you know, as long as I have my computer and a cell phone that I can work all along the way if I want to.

Now that is freedom.

Success! Generating Leads

You know, you can waste a lot of money getting your online business started. Buying leads is one of the most wasteful things I have found. You can pay up to 3.00 per lead or as little as half that and that's per lead. Or you can find a way to generate your own leads.

That is what I am up to. Now this blog is rather new and there isn't a huge following yet.. but give me time, I am just warming up to the plate. I have some heavy hitters behind me and we are ready and poised to knock this baby right out of the park.

I have had some luck generating my own leads, but I have gained some new mentors who are the absolute bombs at it. If you decide to follow this blog. Just watch me grow!
