My Search For Security

My Own Story Why I am Here Blogging?

Well, I have been thinking that it was time to start to share my own story with you. It has been hard for me to open up after such a difficult time that I have had with the corporate world. My story begins with the best time of my life. In 2004, I landed the best job of my life in Tampa Bay Florida. The company moved my family from Upstate NY (snowy and cold) to Florida (warm and sunny vacation land) and paid all moving expenses. I took the job because it paid me $10,000 more a year plus a potential bonus of $10,000 more than my current position. So off we went to the promise land. Only 3 or 4 months later, the company was rumored to be for sale. It took another year and a half for all things to be finalized. The out come was that the company was sold and 3,000 people in the headquarters where I worked lost their jobs. The good news was that I was given a severance pay but the bad news was I am unemployed and out of state. What now?

The shock of one company being sold may not sound too impactful, but this was not my first. On my resume, you could find one company went bankrupt (by not fault of mine), another was sold, another merged causing downsizing, and now this one also sold. Each one producing a job ending event causing my family to move to the next job site. It seemed like Corporate World in my industry was filled with land mines and I could not avoid them. What could I do now?

Well this was no way to provide security for my family, and I was not about to continue to climb up the corporate ladder if it was against the wrong wall! I wanted to start my own home business so I could take back my life and my future. Not because I was selfish or money hungry, but because I wanted more security for my family. They deserved better. Maybe I could learn to earn a good living and produce some freedom in my life. Freedom from the corporate world controlling my career and freedom of my time so I could spend more of it with my family. Sounded like a winner! The Search was on.

Around this time, I really became excited about two things;
1). first that the Internet trend was like a wave of new growth and expansion that I could ride, and
2). second, that multiple streams of income and residual income were both available on a computer based business.

I read Robert Allen's book about "Multiple Streams of Income" and I also read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" about residual income. They both together seemed to be the answer to my families future security and I just wanted to know how to make them a reality in a business I could work at home. I would spend the next year to eighteen months seeking the right opportunity to produce that kind of income. Seeking to bring my life back to some security and peace.

Maybe you are like me and you've experienced some catastrophic event, such as a divorce, a job loss or a death in your family. It has produced a wall for you to climb over. You feel like I did, that you lost hope and energy to move your life forward. Or, maybe you are stuck in a rut and you just have no clear way of getting out. Or a third scenario, maybe you are just lacking motivation and you feel no desire to move your life forward. You are too willing to settle for second best. Well, then listen up, all three of you. It is time to take back your life and move forward. Together we can do it! It takes a team of leaders to make this happen and it will take a product or business that will help move you forward and not just complicate life further.

So that is why I am about to share an important announcement with you. I want you to be aware that I have something coming that will really help turn around your life. Like I said, it will take a team of mentors, coaches or whatever, and a system or product that has residual income and multiple streams of income. Remember, my goal is security for my family, not just a few extra dollars in my pocket. That's perfectly okay for some, but it was not my story.

I have opened up to you and hope that you will share with me some of your life stories. Comments are welcomed and encouraged. I could use some encouragement so please leave a comment below on this blog. Oh, and stay tuned for more good stuff in the next blog. The results to my search and struggle back.
