de a minute of the experience., even after breaking a foot, suffering 1st degree burns, being aboard during a collision with another vessel and more.

The question then was where was I going to find someone to teach me the ways of success in the newest arena of business building techniques which I had read was social networking in online business. Where was I going to find a person and a place to be able to go and study and then work the principles that I had learned. Again destiny took a hand. Because I had freed myself from the bondage of debt, I was able to take advantag

This is my personal testimonial that I hope might be of inspiration to at least one person reading this. Let's see how do I begin?

Well, I have been in the workforce for 30 years. First as a self-proprietor after college, then as an employee for 15 years. Working for a global telecom giant I had never had the feeling of self-satisfaction until I took drastic measures to 'unchain' myself from financial obligation and then be able to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. I was always 'chained' to my job responsibilities because I was 'chained' to my financial burdens. Several years ago I started getting rid of the 'comfort' items that kept me from seizing opportunity.

I rid myself of the big house with the big mortgage payment. The 'impressive' car for the corporate parking lot, and so on. As an escape, I would go to the beach and walk for miles in the surf, gazing to sea and thinking, 'I need to go out there.'

All at once, I was introduced to a ship captain through a friend of mine who was in search of deck hands. I got my Coast Guard clearances and credentials and took a job aboard his ship carrying molten sulphur. I worked in every position. Mooring, loading and discharging cargo, maintenance, cooking, and best of all, wheel house watch relief.

The ship was classified as an uninspected motor vessel and maritime law permitted the captain to appoint anyone he deemed fit to relieve him at the wheel in his absence. In a very short time I was spending the majority of my 12 hour watches in the wheel house piloting this 500 foot mass of steel and cargo on the open sea. Trust me, the captain was never more than a intercom call away if things got hairy.

What a 'rush'. It was the most liberating challenge that was the gateway from my stifling corporate 'Dilbert' cube, to the presidency of 2 corporations, and a founding member of an online business community dedicated to teaching people about the principles of social networking. I did not know what was transpiring, but looking back, it was my transition and preparation to what really brought me happiness, satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

My destiny was not to stay at sea. In order to advance in my professional undertakings I would return home. After sailing for a year, I would not trade a minute of the experience., even after breaking a foot, suffering 1st degree burns, being aboard during a collision with another vessel and more.

The question then was where was I going to find someone to teach me the ways of success in the newest arena of business building techniques which I had read was social networking in online business. Where was I going to find a person and a place to be able to go and study and then work the principles that I had learned. Again destiny took a hand. Because I had freed myself from the bondage of debt, I was able to take advantage of the next opportunity. I now know that opportunities are everywhere. I was just never able to take the time before to recognize them or take advantage of them when they became evident. This is not to say that you have to be debt free to start on your personal life changing journey, nor do you need a bankroll either.

I have now found a business platform online and am now able to work from home. I have found a one of a kind business system designed by a team of internet savvy experts who are headed up by the most forward thinking person that I have ever met. He is also the company's CEO and has had as one of his goals, to provide a system for individuals seeking a life changing experience to excel and realize true, lasting success.

My business efforts now are to identify just a handful more of people that share a vision of experiencing a life change, and ask them for their help and input on how they can add to our team's collective efforts in reaching our personal goals. People who want to be able to work to control their financial destiny. It is becoming more possible than ever with the ongoing new developments with the internet.

I was uneasy at first however, as with all other ventures I have undertaken. The keyword was trust. My present team members felt the same way. It was only the techniques of social networking employed by our CEO that allowed me to gain a convincing viewpoint of him and the business system of success that he and his team have designed over the last 10 years. Of course now I personally know that the system is logical, financially productive and is useable by a person of any business or consumer interest, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with it.

I have learned and shared so much with others and will continue to do so until I can actually sell what I have created, as I would any conventional business. That goes for my team members as well. I will work with them so that may do the same if that as what they choose to do.

I guess my point for anyone reading this who wants to make a lifestyle change is this. Find out what it is you would like to do that would make you happy. That alone took me until I was 45 to figure out. Free yourself from the chains that will prevent you from doing what will make you happy. Then find your steppin
