Finally, In the Right Place At the Right Time!

Since before I was of legal working age, according to United States labor laws, I was thinking of ways to become financially free. I watched my parents, day after day, exchange hours for wages. They suffered from extreme exhaustion and had back and feet problems. They barely earned enough to pay the bills and sustain the household. So, at the age of 15, I started a job at a fast food restaurant, Burger King, to help lift some of the burden from my parents. I left home at 18 years of age to attend college at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I would return home 3 years later with a new outlook on life and a few more skills. I got a job with a local contractor to put air-condiontioning units in some offices at a hospital along with some other remodeling work. The contractor shared the profits with me and the other 2 guys that worked with me. A couple of years later, the jobs stop coming in. So, I started work with the US Postal Service and then on to the railroad. When I saw the business structure of the railroad, it dawned on me. I need to start my own business. I thought to myself, I'm going to need some start-up money. And when I start my business, I'll share the profits with the people who go into business with me just like the contractor did that I worked with. I didn't want to call them employees because employees exchange hours for wages, and most are disgruntled because they will never earn what their efforts are worth. I tried door-to-door sales. I met my wife doing this. So, it wasn't a total lost. Together, we tried investment groups and took real estate classes hoping to make some quick money in that field. My wife was beginning to get frustrated, although she would never say anything. In May of 2007, we found YTB. I thought, this is it! There was a low start-up cost, $500, low overhead, and we could help other people and leverage our income at the same time. After 13 months, we had only helped 8 others, seven of which gave up because they weren't making any money. The $500 start-up cost was a little too much with the economy being in its current condition. Then, we received an email from a friend that read, "YTB Competition." It was Traverus. I researched it and did comparisons to find that Traverus has a considerable lower start-up cost and they were doing business in 98 different countries; YTB is only in 3. The compensation plan in Traverus is also better than YTB's compensation plan. So, we decided to give Traverus a try while we held our position in YTB (Shhhh!). Within the first 3 days, we produced 50% of what it took us 13 months to do in YTB. I think we made a great decision by joining Traverus, and we look forward to working with you and many others. We're finally in the Right Place at the Right Time!
