It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 2 months since I wrote anything here. I’ve been busy updating the look for all my sites and writing content on other sites. The truth be told, I haven’t had anything to say lately but that is alright. I’m still here, building my business and helping others build theirs.
Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have something to say.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “this job sucks – I would rather be making porn”? Well, I have. After having to call a major airline for the third time to beg them to change their flight schedule to meet my bosses sleeping schedule, I decided I had had enough. I walked right into her office and quit.
I had no plan. I would have rather be making adult videos.
I worked for myself for about 8 months. I loved working for myself. I loved setting my own hours and working on my projects. However, without a plan and without any guidance, I faltered really quickly. I wasn’t building a business, I was just trying to stay one step ahead of the bills.
I started out writing articles and doing odd jobs for people online. But I was taking jobs that didn’t pay more than $5.00 an article and I found that I couldn’t write enough every day to make money. You see, I like to write sentences that make sense. I like to write words that people may actually read and I was competing with international outsourcing where the going rate for articles is about $2.00 each and no grammar skills needed. I could produce 5 articles a day, but most vendors expected 10-to-15 badly written 500-word articles a day.
Not having a plan became evident very quickly. I ended going back to an office. And the cycle began again.
Instead of quitting, I have a plan. I’m building my business and sharing with you how to do what I do. Don’t be like the old me, your business will suffer and you’ll find yourself back in the work cycle again. I want you to be successful and I want you to learn from my mistakes.

I’m a freelance marketer and business builder. What this means is not only do I build and work my own business but I take on clients and join with them to build their own business as well. With my clients, I’m not a partner in their business but a tool that will guide and help them take the ideas and desires they want out of life to build their own businesses.
Some may call me a serial entrepreneur but I prefer the visual of building businesses.
Being a business builder means I understand the need for optimism when the work gets hard and the days get long. Yes, the old saying that if you love what you do it will not feel like work is true. However, I often find myself reminding my clients that even though we love what we do, we sometimes still have to find the optimism and enthusiasm to get through the day.
You can’t build a house in a day and you can’t build a successful business overnight. Working for yourself is still – work. You just don’t have to sit through a performance review every year.
