First thing to do -- take 2 minutes and introduce yourself ...

[Mike Merz]

Welcome aboard, Gregory ..

Thanks for the props ... but it's our fellow partners that make this a great place for everything and anything JV.

I look forward to reading your contributions, my friend.

Much success,

Mike 'just one of the gang' Merz

Hi JV Peeps!

Oh yeah, oops! This is a serious place... Partners! ; P

Great idea on automatically having real names as Forum names,
it's about time someone did this!

I am so excited to be here. For the first time in more than 8 years
I'm finally doing what I should have been doing all along!

No more excuses!

This is the place to be to kick anyone(everyone?) in the pants and
make 2006 a Blockbuster Year!

Feel free to send a message my way and tell me about yourself.
I may already be on your list somewhere, but go ahead and say "Hi".
Hmmm, I guess this is what this forum is for right?

I want to encourage you to keep on writing and surround yourself
with people who will tell you what you can do instead of trying to
tell you what you can't. We already get enough of that from the
"real" world. Here's a home for us to share and prop each other up.

Did I mention that I was excited to be here...? ; P Maybe it's the coffee...?

Welcome to the JV Notify Pro forum, Yoon ..

Yeah ... we're serious about helping each other succeed, tis true.

But we're also real human beings, here ... so don't be afraid of getting beat up for being yourself.

Heck ... if that were the case, I'd be run out of town on a rail! LOL

Egos are checked at the door ... and making money for each other with a smile on our collective faces is the way it's done here.

Much success,

Mike Merz

Hi Mike,

I hope your roll out with Filsaime's Butterfly product is a success. So far you
guys have done a great job of "salting" and getting people excited
about the launch date.

I little about myself...

I just turned 40 this year and have been self employed since college.

I have been slowly selling off my 4 pizza restaurants and yogurt store in the last
few years and just sold my 2 fitness clubs this last Feb. so I am now 100% online.

I have spend the last year traveling to a ton of seminars and meeting lots of
people and making connections. I understand the importance of JVs from my last
businesses and I'm looking forward to making friends and JV partners in this forum.

I think I have been doing my intro at the wrong places ... is this the right one?

OK ... here it is again ... I am Iszuddin Ismail but you can call me Kidino. Turned into a dad 10 months back, and still feeling the joy till now. Does the feeling ever wear off??

Anyway, I am from Kuala Lumpur. My list is mostly on web desigining, build your site etc ... looking forward to working with many of you guys in here ...

Hello Mike and Everyone Else,

I imagine this is as good of place to start as any.
Some of you I know, some know me- for those who don't-

My name is Kimberly Gordon. I have been online for 5 years and
have truly found some great success. That means many things
for me. One major success is the relationships I built in 2005-
They are the cornerstone for other successes in 2006.

I have failed in business and I have succeeded. In my opinion
failure is simply success turned inside out.

I love joint ventures because it allows you to draw talents from
others that you yourself may not possess. One thing I teach is that
everyone has talents and skills and if they use those to their advantage
and help others where they lack... well others will use their own to help
you where you lack. It creates an opportunity for all parties involved that
really has no limits to grow. It's also IMO the best source of out-sourcing!

Anyway,
I have 4 children at home and 3 boxers- that's enough to make anyone reach for success :-) I spend most of my time online with my Marketing Buddies instead of socializing with those who have no vision.

I am also the hostess of an upcoming seminar- I won't post it here as this isn't the place to advertise, but I will say I am extremely excited about the opportunity! I get to meet some great people in person.

Ok, that's it for me now-

Mike thank you for everything. It is a pleasure getting to know you better after all of this time :-)

In His Grip!
Kimberly

[Sam Heyer]

Wow ... everyone ...

And I thought I had a successful 2005

It's a pleasure meeting everyone in here and I hope to get to know each and everyone of you personally. Anyways, happy new year and I'm looking forward to 2006.

Talk to you soon,
Sam

[Mike Merz]

Welcome to Jeff, Kidino, and Kim ... don't be strangers ... like yours truly! ;D

... and welcome back, Sam ... how was your vacation, my friend? LOL

Much success,

Mike

[Sam Heyer]

Hey Mike,

It's good to be back ... would have preferred a vacation on a beach somewhere though LOL.

Talk to you soon,
Sam

[Kimberly Gordon]

Thanks for the Welcome Mike. Sorry you are so terribly busy. If you need another right hand. Do let me know! I do this full time and have for 5 years :-)

In His Grip!
Kimberly
