Hello from South Africa. :D

Too often these forums & social networks seem so impersonal so I'd like to introduce myself with the idea of getting to know you. So send a smile my way when you have a chance.

First things first…

I am not writing to try to sell you something…

Yes I do have a primary business that I work 20 to 25 hours a week, it rocks and I have a list of people who want to get started on my team. Typically I work with a half dozen new partners a week so I don’t need you to buy anything from me so please relax I’m just doing what I can to put social back into social networking.

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

It is my GOAL to network with other marketers and “Home Business” Entrepreneurs. The business model and principles I use work for me and I willingly share my knowledge with people I mastermind with.

Working with other people saves time finding & figuring it, why re-invent the wheel right? Sound too good to be true, I’ve found not everything that is good has to be too good to be true. The business I’m in is just one example.

So I’ll bet, if you’re still reading this, you're probably wondering who I am, and why you should consider networking with me.

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 ***s, 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 *** 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 and worked the MLM industry chasing friends and family in my spare time...hah!

I made some embarr***ing sacrifices to make ends meet... I thought all those MLM’s and work from home opportunities were the answer.

Suddenly all my friends and family would see me coming and they quit answering the door…

they’d say…

"look what’s happened to this guy…

if he’s 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 along with just one other MLM…

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 *** 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 a day and even while I was playing golf! Way tooo cool by the way, if you’ve never done it you ought to give it a try.

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.

Check out what Donald Trump and Robert Kyiosaki have said in their new book “Why We Want You To Be Rich” about the type of business I’m in:

I look forward to hearing back from you.
