I've been interested in marketing since I can remember even way back when I was very young. I was looking at programs. Of course, you had to order all this stuff in the mail, like SMC, which was Specialty Merchandise Corporation or something like that.
I forget exactly, but they sent you a box of books and some order forms and what have you, with all kinds of ideas on how you could sell physical products at fairs and street corner stands, home parties like Tupperware. (I don’t know is that still a thing)? Whatever else there might be, like kiosks in a mall, you see those now.
Those were just the beginning. I mean, I started out selling seeds door to door as a kid, mowing lawns, shoveling snow. I even went as far as picking dandelions, pulling them for a penny a piece. This was funny I did a lawn for this lady in Salina Kansas, she came out and counted every single dandelion and refused to pay for the other weeds only the dandelions.
I've been involved in some kind of entrepreneurial-ship, including owning an upholstery shop and a few other odds and ends along the way. My biggest and most desirable thing was once the internet started, was to learn how to market online.
I started doing video work and I learned editing and other stuff. At any rate, I'm still working on that. Obviously I'm here, so I'm just blown away at all the possibilities. And now I'm tired of, well, for the lack of a better word, being a tire kicker, a dabbler. I am obsessed with actually making it work for me. I'm ready to retire from my job. I'm not interested in being a truck driver anymore. I mean, the way things are going, the roads are getting ridiculous. People are not so nice. Not, like they used to be. It used to be if you broke down, they'd stop and help you out, help each other out, or at least get on a radio and say, Hey, you need a hand if you broke down what have you got going on, but not anymore. I mean, now they won't even move over for you if you're on a shoulder of the road and you're trying to walk around the truck just to figure out what the problem is. They just blow right by you in the same lane on a four lane highway instead of moving over. It's just unreal. But at any rate, that's not why you’re here.
I started flying at 15 years old. And I've been a licensed pilot since age 30. Learned aerobatics in Reno.
I've done a few projects where I've built my own planes, things of that nature, and I'm just trying to finance my retirement I have expensive habits, <laugh>. Yet I came to the conclusion that there are many like myself out here struggling. And I know from all the market training I have done I can help them as well.
So as you can see, this is pretty much me and why I'm here.
