I started online in 1998 when I was 19 years old. I built up a Yahoo Club (The WereWolves Trading Den..hey..leave me alone, I was 19!!! :-) ) to nearly 20,000 members. Late one September night I got a call from Jeff Tappan, a guy who did seminars on IM with Gary Halbert, that changed my life. He asked if I'd ever thought of making money off that club. I had not, I just thougt it was pretty cool that so many people cared what I had to say. Jeff was also in the Navy, so with 9-11 I was on my own, and at that point I started doing alot of marketing for other people too because I was always stronger as a marketer then I was as a trader...it might have had something to do with the fact that I'd grown to hate the stock market, but really loved marketing.

In any case, I did both, my own site and other people's marketing for a few years until I got divorced and then 6 months later was diagnosed with cancer. During my fight with cancer on three occassions my family was told to make my final arrangments...but I made it. My insurance coverage ran out, and I ended up spending every dime I had saved to stay alive, to the point that I had to move back in with my mom and dad, into the house I bought for them in 2002. When I finally become healthy again (Febuary of this year) I really looked at my life and what did I want. I decided to focus on doing launches and marketing for other business which has been going very well.

I get paid a percentage of what I make for them plus a small upfront retainer. I do launches and strategic marketing work, and so far this year I've directly created over very nearly $4million in additional value for my clients. (ie money they would have never made without me). Live's have been changed, business created and people have jobs because of what I do, and I totally love it.

With the exception of the 3 years when I was busy not dying, I've never made under $200,000 in any year online (Net, not gross). This year I'm on track to do just over $1million, which will be my second best year ever, but I really feel as though I'm on the verge of a real breakthrough, and so I think it will be my best ever. I'm going to be going to Jeff Walker's Product Launch Manager Training Event in LA Next week which I think will make me a lot better for my clients, which will result in me making more money. My goal is to do $2million this year, which if I do that would be my best year ever.
