I'm a free range egg farmer in Australia's South Gippsland and I've been having fun playing around with my computer - setting up the website and all that sort of stuff.
It's a great world out there! :D

Welcome to this forum Freeranger. Wishing you every success and happy postings. It is truly a great world out there. Is it not amazing how the internet has made the distances between countries to shrink with the ease of communication and easy access to information from anywhere in the world. What an incredible tool!
Enjoy!
Anthony

Hello Freeranger! Greetings from Michigan! I love fresh eggs. There truely is a difference. I used to have my own free range chickens (and a very mean rooster by the name of Jacque). The yolks were an amazing sun yellow.


At any rate, I joined this forum so that I could learn more about marketing techniques and take a peak at what others are doing. I figure that email is here for the long run so I'd get my feet wet promoting unlimited autoresponders (http://tinyurl.com/29cx4k). What's your favorite program? ... dailyTangents

I've never heard of a free range egg farmer...exactly what does that mean?

Too often these Blogs are impersonal so I'de like to introduce myself and would love to get to know you so send a smile my way...

Lets clear one thing up right away…

I am not and will not try to sell you anything…

I have a primary business that rocks and I have a waiting list of people who want to get started on my team. I don’t need you to buy anything from me so please relax.

Everything I do here is with one purpose in mind and one purpose only.

It is my GOAL to give other marketers and “Home Business” Entrepreneurs the tools I have found that worked for me and 99% of the time they can be found for free if you know where to look.

I help other people save time finding & figuring it out for them selves, that’s all. It is my way of giving back.

So I’ll bet, if you’re still reading this, you're probably wondering who I am, and why you should give me your attention by reading my Posts, Blogs & Newsletter...

To start I'm really just an ordinary guy who is getting extraordinary results.

My name is Leonard Martin. I've been in the Direct Sales, MLM, Networking industry for 13 years now, and I've done what most people will never do...

I stuck with it until I got the results I came her to find.

I went from being a work-aholic Business/Real Estate Consultant…

mostly broke all the time…

father of three…

to multiple 6 figures within 18 months.

The first 10 years drug by like an eternal hell. I spent well over $20,000 on products, tapes, fliers, leads, and made every sacrifice I had to in order to succeed.

I attended pre-launches, attended weekend seminars by Anthony Robins and Robert Kiyosaki, I left no stone unturned or so I thought.

I never graduated from college so I spent two years working construction, then the oil patch, did some time on the rail road, then a route sales driver for Coca-Cola.

Finally I ended up as maintenance supervisor for McDonalds which is when I got the really big break. (or so I thought…all it was…was a J.O.B.)

An old friend of mine appeared from nowhere and after talking a while he invited me to get a Real Estate License and join his family firm.

Well back then interest rates were at 13% and before long they topped out at over 18% and I was struggling to make it working two jobs, feeding a family and selling Real Estate.

That is why I started working from home, I had to figure out how to make some extra money. The only real problem with that plan was that I ended up spending all the extra money and then some just buying leads and products that I was required to buy with the “opportunity” I was with at the time.

At one point, I had to pawn my gun collection and guitar just to eat, and keep the phone ringing.

Around the age of 25, I quit my route sales job with Coca-Cola so I could build my Real Estate business in the day, while I washed windows and fryer grills at McDonalds at night.

I made some embarrassing sacrifices to make ends meet... I thought all those MLM’sand work from home opportunities were the answer.

Suddenly all my friends and family would see me coming and not answer the door…

they’d say…

"look what’s happened to Lenny…

if hes still chasing those get rich quick schemes were not home!"

It feels pretty crummy to hear that when you’re standing on the doorstep.

For a while I had to give up the traditional MLMbecause I had completely run out of friends and family (and money to buy leads.)

Thank goodness Ronald Regan got elected and interest rates came down or I don’t know what I would have done. So I kinda gave up on the “side businesses and get rich quick schemes” and worked my Real Estate Business…

but I never gave up on the idea that I could one day be rich beyond my wildest dreams.

I kept studying personal development, worked my Real Estate Business and developed a 24x7x365 day a year job being the prisoner of my own success. I was successful as a Real Estate Broker but I was still broke and worked 60 to 90 hours a week.

I continued to seek a better way to do life and I knew it had to be out there for me…

so I pushed forward and I'm glad I did, because it was during this time that my really big break-through was made.

One day I clicked on an ad on the internet that said something like

“Learn to Earn a CEO Income while working from home.”

Over the next 18 months, I would go from working 7 days a week to just Monday thru Thursday...

from working 14-16 hour days to…

just two hours in the morning and two hours at night (in my own home)...

from pay check to paycheck…

to a multiple 6-figure income, earning as much as $15,000 in an hour while I was playing golf! Way tooo cool by the way.

All of this is possible because I came across information that changed my way of thinking and gave me a better way of doing things.

I learned how to think like a success.

“Riches are drawn toward a person whose mind is prepared to receive them the same way water is drawn toward the ocean” author unknown

I discovered how to generate new leads at low and sometimes no cost.

I learned how to use my thinking to change and even create my circumstances in life.

Albert Einstein once said something like “Today’s problems will not be solved using the same line of thinking that created them” and boy was he ever right.

What I learned is that money and opportunity freely flows to people whose minds are prepared to receive them…by changing the way I was thinking I changed the results I was getting.

And just imagine it all started with a simple little ad on the internet.

Kindest regards,

Leonard Martin

I've never heard of a free range egg farmer...exactly what does that mean?

Hi, Imartin, we have a 200 acre farm on which, along witha few sheep and cattle we run 800 to 1000 chickens which produce around 450 dozen eggs each week. Our hens are never locked up - they are protected from predators by Maremma dogs.
I used to be a journalist and public relations consultant in a former life - but the farm is a great way to go!:D

Hello Freeranger! Greetings from Michigan! I love fresh eggs. There truely is a difference. I used to have my own free range chickens (and a very mean rooster by the name of Jacque). The yolks were an amazing sun yellow.

Yeah, I reckon that email is here for keeps - it just makes comunication so easy. I too thought that this forum would be a great way to see what others are doing and look at a few options.
An issue for me with marketing the farm is that we only sell locally, so there isn't much point in launching a campaign seen by millions around the world - the only real value for us is to target our region. I'm not quite sure how to achieve that electronically but our website and blog have both attracted great local interest so we must be doing something reasonably OK.

Howdy D,

Thanks for the update on free range chickens...I'm a country boy but I'm not so sure the chickens would make it around these parts...we have a handful of very nasty predators that would simply make the dogs overworked and underpaid.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors
