Running on empty!!!!!!

I have been on the internet approaching ten months.

Been through some rough patches but my spirit never wavered; I can honestly say I love being part of the internet community and being a businessman “Entrepreneur”!

But that wasn’t the case when I started out you could say I was a FOB fresh off the boat, I had no clue what was going on. Let’s just say I crashed and burn more times than I could count.

Many times it felt like I got kicked in the teeth, what I should have done was pack it in give up. You know what kept me going? It was my family my love for them kept me dreaming and believing that my time has come to push on through.

My problem was I had bills, bills and more bills it was no one fault but my own, no one to point the finger to except myself, so I needed to make a change to my problem.

But before I could do that I needed to identify the problems sort it all out than find a solution………….easier said than done. But I was very optimistic and scared just the same.

Problem:
· Rent 700 a month

· Car payment 350 a month + 250 for gas insurance another 250 every
other month.

· Cell phone too much to count let’s say all together was like 2500 to 130 a
month now.

· Food 600 a month including eating out.

· My internet on-line business 3 thousand not including the 2 thousand I got
ripped.

That’s just the skinny of it, but at the time my problem was I only had my full time job and I was handling the bills. My wife had a part time job but she wasn’t making that much money at the time.

Our bills were so bad we filed for bankruptcy about 3 years ago, but like I said earlier a lot of the bills came after was my doing. So I needed to find away to undo the problem.

Plan of attack get a part time job, relinquish power to my wife to handle the bills from full time job money, which she has handled quite well I might add.

Now it is ten months later and everything is coming together, I have met some really great people over the internet. Discovered many news things along the way, and turn out to be a great leader too!

There is still so much more to learn, but I tell you what… if I decided to pack it in back than. I wouldn’t have known about the people’s lives I have changed and what an impact they made on mine!

Just a local boy from Hawaii……….!
