Work From Home or Work From Anywhere?

Do you want an opportunity to work from home? Or is it freedom itself that you are truly after? The answer for me is easy. I want the freedom. I have been chained to my brick and mortar businesses long enough. Stealing a three day weekend here and there isn't the kind of annual vacation plans I have for my three children and certainly isn't the freedom I expect from being an entrepreneur. I realize great effort is involved in building a business. I renewing a focus on putting in a concerted effort in building it up front and then letting it run and maintain profitability for the long term. This requires a system, which is the cornerstone of this internet marketing plan.

I do like the fact that I have not had a boss in almost ten years. I have enjoyed success in my mortgage business. The problem is that I was never really leveraged. The automation was never in place. Given the current changes in the mortgage business I don't know if I can ever be leveraged and gain the freedom I wanted from being my own boss. So started what I call -- "The Search". This search lasted almost a full year and was necessary for me to gain experience and first hand knowledge of all the junk that is put out there.

When I started searching for a work from home "exit strategy", I had a few qualifying factors in mind. One was that the company had to be legitimate, honest and reputable. If I was going to put my reputation and name on something then it needed to be completely legitimate. The second factor was that it needed to be profitable. Thirdly, I wanted to be able to work from my laptop - from anywhere. Work from home sounds good, but "working from anywhere" sounds better. There were many other factors I was looking for in a work from home business opportunity but I will keep it to three here.

I am enjoying the work in this business model. The work is not hard, although it's easy to become overwhelmed with information at times. That said, there's definitely a learning curve as I have not done much in the way of internet marketing in my other businesses. I am already receiving the rewards in five short weeks and that is very motivating and re-enforces my commitment. I have run a franchise before where it took three years to reach a break even point and that wasn't even factoring in my start up costs.

So now I am realizing results and the next step is to work with those that allowed the results to begin. Building a team is a major part of building my success. Assist the team members in growing their businesses and the success of my work from home or "work from anywhere" opportunity will be a foregone conclusion.

I am an entrepreneur dedicated to helping others attain their success. I developed a strong work ethic at an early age. Too young to be added to payroll, I began sweeping parking lots & delivering newspapers. I quickly learned I control my own financial situation. Being class president in high school & coaching the boxing team, leadership roles were taken on early in my life. I earned a degree in Marketing and then started a career in restaurants, however nights, weekends and traveling were not going to be conducive to family life. I entered the mortgage industry, experienced success and founded Maximum Mortgage Services in 2002. I am now married to a wonderful wife, Sherri and we have 3 beautiful children. We believe in the value of giving back to the community and we are very involved in local charities. I am on the board of directors of Auberle and am the volunteer chairman for their biggest fundraiser, Voices Carry. The internet has opened up new doors for income opportunities and I seize the opportunity to create a residual income online. I work this business with the mindset that One can only achieve great success by assisting others in attaining their success.
