I am a former Marine, and two-time combat veteran, who served two tours in Iraq. I was in the initial invasion in March 2003 attached to the 15th MEU. And I went back again in 2004! Despite the situations I found myself in, the military was the best thing that ever happened to me. I gave my life to Christ in September of 2004 in Al Asad, Iraq, I met my wife in the military, and I have successfully
transitioned from the US military to civilian life, living in Hawaii with my wife and two beautiful girls! God is good!

Starting a Home Business In The Military?
I first started bouncing the idea around in my head to start a home-based business about 3 1/2 years ago when I was still in the military. I thought, in theory, that it would be nice to be able to work from home and be with my growing family when I came upon my EAS. However, I did not put as much effort into growing a successful business online as I should have.
The reason, in hindsight, is that I did not have a real need, or purpose to build a successful home business. My wife and I were both in the military, and we were both bringing home a lot of money each month, and we had one of our incomes going right into our savings account. Life was easy, and good. I was not looking very far down the road, like I should have been, even though I was a "short-timer". But, like my dad always told me, "In Hind-sight, you always see 20/20."
My Journey Towards Financial Prosperity and Freedom:
I quickly discovered that making money online was not as quick, or as easy, as people were making it sound. With this new knowledge, I started bouncing around from opportunity to opportunity, in search of that ONE that would send me into the direction of financial prosperity, and freedom. Over the last few years, I have tried just about everything out there.
- Affiliate Programs,
- E-stores,
- Building Websites,
- Network Marketing/Multi-Level Marketing (MLM).
I had little successes here-and-there over the last few years, but ultimately I had failed to achieve my goal of financial freedom. However, if there is one thing I have taken out of the Marine Corps, then it has to be to keep moving forward...never surrender. Basically,
failure is not an option! This idea, and the strong desire to stay at home with my family has been the driving force of my ability to push through this "learning period".
The lessons I have learned on my journey to build a successful home business.
