Last night I took Amy out for a group date type of dinner at one of the best Italian restaurants here in town. It is just a small place here in Pinetop where the owner won’t allow cell phones, casual dress or lateness. Small price to pay for great food I guess! Somehow we all started talking above places we had been to. The conversation started when someone asked a friend of mine about a home he is building down in Mexico somewhere on the Pacific Ocean. I can’t remember the actual town. He started to tell us how much we would love it down there and I tell you what, it sounded excellent. It reminded me of all the places we have been in the last few years. We have had a blast.

Since we have been involved with this Home Based Business, which has only been just under 4 years, we have been to Puerto Rico, Cancun Mexico three times, Rome Italy, Sydney Australia, the Big Island of Hawaii, Orlando, Los Angeles, Atlanta and all over the USA on road trips. Prior to this home business, we had only been just across the border of Mexico and to a few other states while in the military. I had no idea of the life we were missing.

I will never forget the view the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney as the clouds came rolling in and as the sun was just shining on the three sisters and no where else. It is almost magical when in a plane above the clouds and it seams as though the world has turned upside down as the sun in rising above the clouds. The water on the Big Island of Hawaii near Waikaloa is so crystal clear that you can see every fish, plant, or creature 50 ft below on the oceans floor as you just float on top. It is so deceiving that I nearly drowned trying to swim down to touch the bottom. The sunsets in Cancun were beyond this world and the architecture of Rome reminded me how small I am and how great Rome of old was. So many memories from all of these exotic locations!

You know the cool thing though is that we took our business with us. With a laptop and a phone we have made thousands and thousands of dollars while traveling to all of these places. So call them business trips or a vacations, we have had a blast and have made a ton of money doing it! We started on this path not long ago. What are you waiting for?

Rome Italy was a spectacular place and if you have never been there I definitely recommend taking the trip. We spent about 10 days there and had just a ton of fun. We did most of our touring and site seeing at night, which was really nice. All the crowds were gone and the structures were all lit up and seemed even more majestic that during normal daylight. Here are a few pics of some of our travels throughout Rome Italy!

    

   

We visited the Vatican, the great Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and the list goes on and on. We experienced real Italy buy wandering the streets of Rome and being among the people. We ate Italian food in little holes in the wall barely big enough to get in and get out with your order. We sat and had dinner while right across the street was the Colosseum as our backdrop. We walked the cobblestone streets of Rome as we saw the sites and traced the ancient paths of the Romans used to travel around the city. We sat at a Roman feast in a Toga Party as we saw gladiators fight, fire blowing, belly dancing, and chariots for entertainment. And we did all this with our one month old baby girl, Macy.

This truly is a lifestyle business. We get to travel the world with our family, make the income to support our lifestyle, and teach others how to do the same. How could my life possibly be better. And you know what, this is only the first of several trips planned this year. It is going to be a fun year!

When in Rome is the phrase that has been most commonly used since we have been here. When in Rome anything and everything is possible! What a place this is. I feel like I am in the midst of so much history and greatness when I am around the ruins of ancient Rome and within the walls of the Vatican. So much existed and still exists here, from Roman Gladiators and Emperors to the Pope. What a great place to be today. I have enjoyed myself to the fullest.

We have spent quite a bit of time just wondering around the streets of Downtown Rome, hitting landmarks along the way and eating the authentic Italian food! Man, all I can say is Gelato! That stuff in brilliant. Now, that doesn’t leave out the pasta. Italian is my favorite kind of food and I am in hog heaven here man! From fettucini topped with sheep cheese to spaghetti with meat sauce, I love it all. Last night we actually ate at a restaurant right across the street from the Colosseum with some friends here. What a view! I mean, how many times am I going to be in Rome and eating dinner right across from the Colosseum? Not very many…. and I savored every bit of it!

I absolutely love what I do. I teach people how to acheive their own greatness and by doing so, they can experience the lifestyle of their dreams. This is my dream lifestyle….traveling the world with my family! What a business and what a life. We are going to wrap up our stay here with a Toga Party tonight with all of our friends. We are to have a Roman Feast! Sounds good, I know! Guys, I love my life!

I am just a normal guy who found an extraordinary opportunity which has assisted me in living a lifestyle that most will never get to experience. I owe it all to this opportunity. I have made a list of 101 things that I would like to and will experience before I leave this world and here are just a few that I have knocked out so far.

1. I have made over $50,000 US in a 30 day period. $42,000 of that was in a 3 day period. I have made more in a 3 day period than I ever did in an entire year working my last job.

2. We bought a Hummer in 2006!

3. We spent a week in the summer of 2007 in Sydney Australia and attended an opera in the Opera Sydney house!

4. My wife and I went cliff diving in Hawaii in October 2006.

5. We spent a week in Cancun in October 2007.

6. We spent a week in Cancun in March 2007.

7. We spent a week on Lake Powell on the border of Utah and Arizona in the late summer of 2007. We took my in-laws and it turned out to be a blast. We had a few waverunners, a couple of fishing poles, and a lot of time! We visited Rainbow Bridge, the largest natural rock bridge is the US.

8. We built a 4500 square foot home in the mountains of Arizona. We moved from our old home which was 2000 sq ft and turned it into a vacation rental. We started construction in the summer of 2006 and finished in February of 2007.

9. We bought some toys to play around with, as a family. This Ranger was an anniversary gift from me to my wife in 2006.

10. We did all this in just over two years. Who knows what else is in store for our future. All I know, is that anyone can do this business. Money, Lifestyle, Increased learning and personal development, whatever it is you seek, this business can provide it.

As we near the end of the year I look back at all the places that we have been this year. We have been to San Diego, Disney Land, Sea World, Vegas 3 times, Atlanta Georgia, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Cancun in March, Cancun in October, and to top it off, Sydney Australia in the summer! You know, the only thing holding us back from being on the road all the time is our oldest daughters school schedule. That is really the only thing tying us down. We had a blast and the year isn’t even over yet!

So far for 2008 we have a few trips planned. We are hitting Miami beach Florida in January, Rome Italy in March, and Hawaii in the summer. There will be more I can guarantee that. We promised our daughters another trip to Disney Land, so who knows what else will happen. We still have 6 months worth of trips to plan even after all of these.

This is one of the main reasons I love what I do. I get to travel the world and make a ton of money doing it. I have made money in Cancun, sitting on the beach in San Diego, or just driving down to Phoenix for the weekend. It doesn’t matter where we are, we are in business. I can’t see how anyone would not want to do this. It is incredibly lucrative and only part-time. I love what I do and I love my life. Do you?

So here I am sitting at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada with a view of the Bellagio right outside my window. The water show goes off every once in a while as I sit here and watch all the action happening down below. I have a view of the Eiffel Tower off to the left and have just had a spectacular day here. I am here for a once in a year, national training event. This event is offered once a year by the wholesale company I am affilliated with. It is an opportunity to get together with other self-made millionaires and to mastermind and have good times. The training is fantastic here and the community is awesome. I intend on being surrounded with these people for a very long period of time.

Aside from the view, the fun and the training, there were also some pretty cool awards and prizes given out to those who are having some serious results here with this business opportunity. Amy and I were awarded the Rising Star Award, along with 15 others fellow associates, out of thousands of people in this business. To be completely honest with you, and not to sound cocky, but I knew that we were getting the award before we even got it. I had visualized this very moment and today it just came to fruition.

Later this evening we had a prize drawing for a contest we were having. The contest was a sales contest. There were different prizes available to the eligible contestants and I was drawn for the Tumi Luggage set valued at $2500 and a Sony HD Digital video camera valued at around $1000. What a gift huh!! I love the percs. Five people walked away with and i-phone, one walked with a 60″ plasma TV. The person with the most sales won a Range Rover Sport and a movie of his life story.

What a day in Vegas. Whatever it is that you need to do to be at the next event with us, make it happen. There is so much money being made and so much fun happening in this business that you don’t want to miss out on!
