Where I was - When I was 36 yrs old, I didn’t like the person I was. I prayed to God and asked him, “Is this my truth? Is this really what you created me to be? Because if it is, I really suck at this and I need your help. If it’s not, take it all away.” A week and a half later, I was chemically injured and wound up on disability for 5 yrs.
At one point, I was so sick I wasn’t able to walk a mile. 12 years after the injury, I was hired to be a project manager at an internet marketing company for $12/hr. I was 48 yrs old. I wanted to make more money so I figured out what people needed and became one of their top sales people. Then I got promoted.
Where I am - I’ve helped over 15,000 business owners develop internet marketing strategies. They told me everything they did that worked and everything that didn’t work and why. A lot of businesses get hurt from bad marketing choices. Communities are hurt when small businesses fail. I want to help business owners get the right internet marketing for their business.
What I can teach the audience - In all this I’ve learned that you never know how God is going to answer a prayer. Doing the right thing for people is always the right thing to do. And it’s actually more profitable to hire a professional than it is to hire an amateur.
