Hello everyone.

My name is John Sands and I live in New Zealand.

I am a victim of the current recession having lost everything I had, my money, my home and my wife, but not my dignity!

To say I am a "Newbie" would be an understatement, however with nothing to start with, capital wise, I am turning to the internet to try and get my feet back on the ground. I have so much to learn in fact sometimes I feel like I am drowning! :-[

I have a product that I have to manufacture for each individual customer that is totally unique, thanks to my late father. It has never been marketed on the internet. I am hopefully going to learn how to achieve this.

I am both apprehensive and excited to be part of your group. I hope I have something worthwile to offer.

Let me leave you all with two of my favourite thought provoking sayings.

"I complained because I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet."

and

"Friendship is not measured by the length of time you have known someone, but by who came and never left your side."

Warm wishes to you all,

John Sands
