About Us

 

My name is John, and along with Dotty, a seasoned marketing veteran, I started this site to share with you what I’ve learned about trying to earn a reasonable living in the U.S. after the age of 45.

I live in Florida and worked in the home-building industry installing well pumps and water treatment systems in new houses. New home construction has virtually stopped in Florida. I’m 59 years old and in excellent health, but my chances of finding another job in this (or even a good) economy are slim to none. I’ve applied for countless jobs – many offering only $8.00 per hour -- but no one made me an offer. (Yes, there is age bias in this country) I was forced to find other sources of income, or lose my house
Like many before me, I fell for some of the “Get Rich Quick” work-at-home programs. I tried Multi-Level Marketing but soon discovered that wasn’t for me. Many people make a good living in these programs, but I didn’t have enough friends and relatives who wanted to buy the product, or join the program and get their friends to join, so I ended up losing money. I tried selling on e-bay and made a little money, but discovered it’s very competitive and not as easy to find products to sell as you might think. I tried some Internet Marketing programs, and they held promise, but the path to success is tricky and sometimes, some of the steps are missing from the programs.

The truth is that for most of us there’s a long list of failures before you strike it big. I‘ve spent many thousands of dollars buying programs and coaching plans. These programs have a learning curve that limits your ability to earn money quickly. Most of the people who try these programs give up long before they make any money. I don’t want this to happen to you! I’ll help you shorten the learning curve by offering step-by-step guidance and coaching options.

Both Dotty and I are committed to helping you survive and prosper in this economic situation. Feel free to contact us with advice and suggestions on how to improve this site. This site is created to help you, but we need to know what help you want and need, and what problems you need help with.
