    And here I am taking mine. Again. This time, in the right direction.

    The crazy world of information marketing and internet business has fascinated me for the past few years.

    My background, being in the health and fitness industry, started offline. As time passed, I recognized the power of the internet and the ability to reach more people and impact more lives. As I explored this area further, I was exposed to some great and some not-so-great people in the health and fitness info marketing industry.

    Some of these people genuinely cared about the people who purchased their products, services and information. Others were there to make a quick buck. I know as a newbie I've fallen victim (man, I sometimes hate that word as I always had a choice!) to slick marketing with no substance, and dropped hundreds to thousands of dollars chasing the dream of making quick, easy money.

    I can tell you what my chase ended with: over the past 4 years I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on blogs, websites, info products, ebooks, seminars, webinars, memberships to membership sites etc. My return in dollars: $39.80 (I sold 4 ebooks in the past 2 months). My return in education: priceless.

    In the past, I've hired many coaches and worked with many mentors without understanding or grasping the fundamentals of sales and marketing, or any business for that matter: building relationships.

    Now I know better and want to do things the right way.

    I want to learn and explore this exciting industry properly. I want to align myself with the right people and learn from the best.

    I want to make money, absolutely. Lots of it, but I don't want to make it at the expense of others. I want to make it in the benefit of others. I want to create products and services that will help people and elevate them. And then teach others to do the same. Teach them to achieve their potential without having to go through all the bumps and dips in the road that I did.

    In my mind, what I should have done years ago, was join the right forums and connected with the right people.

    And that's why I'm here now.

    Hello.
