MyFamily

Hi, my name is Eric Gonzales and I am the creator and author of the website http://www.16kreasons.com

If you are anything like me…you love the idea of being on the internet and making money. I’ll explain a little about how I combined the two and changed my life. The reason why I started this Google profile is because I was sick and tired of my 9-5 job working as an IT Manager for RCR Group. I just hated working for someone else because my boss would get on my nerves. Some days I just didn't want to go to work. I wanted to sleep late. Stay home with my new wife and baby.

And that’s why I started my own internet business online. And why I created this Google profile because I want to meet, network, and give back to other newbie entrepreneurs who are in the same boat I was in… and hopefully my story can help inspire you to discover a better alternative just like I did when I started working from home, being my own boss, and making money online. But before I get into all of that… let me tell you a little bit more about myself…

My wife's name is Konnie. She's Chinese and we have a wonderful 5-month old son named Brandon.

I'm originally from Manila, Philippines and moved to Los Angeles in 1992 because I had a dream... Only in America. I wanted to live the American Dream... nice home, family, nice car, the whole ball of wax.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to live the American Dream. But when I got to Los Angeles, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. See, I thought that the streets in America were paved in gold... but they weren't. Not for me. I did odd jobs. Even worked as a car salesman and never made much money. It's tough hardly making ends meet. Barely surviving.

Until I learned about computers. Then my luck started changing a little bit. I love computers and consumer electronics. I have to know what's new. Audio gear, single driver speakers, tube amplifiers, video electronics and camcorders.

Plus, I like reading comic books (Doctor Fate, Green Lantern, JSA), and automotive magazines (Road & Track, Motor Trend, Top Gear). And, I like to watch F1 car races.

But how could I turn what I like to do into making more money? This stumped me. And then things got worse. You see, as a new dad and proud papa, babies require a lot of money. And then my only sister became terribly sick with cancer. Cancer treatments are VERY expensive! I wanted to help my sister financially but I didn't know what to do or where to turn.

I've looked at so many ways to augment my income. I tried Amway and Quixtar and nothing worked. Even with lots of recruits, I did not make significant income. The only way is to send recruits to $300 seminars and you go up the ladder. Franchises aren't that secure. You always hear of a franchise closing down. Even Starbucks is losing customers. I like Big Macs but McDonald's is too expensive. Carbon Copy Pro was promising but their main product is information, seminars, and talks. I wanted something tangible, a real product that is fun and beneficial. Something that people are already doing but can save them money.

A lot of people like the idea of spending time at a resort. So why not make money at it, I wondered if that was possible. Sounded too good to be true.

When I found out about this business, through a Chinese friend of mine, the vision and potential I saw completely opened up my eyes and now I’m starting to see that, yeah…you really can make good money and live the lifestyle you want and Live the American Dream, right here, right now. Even now, with all of the doom and gloom about a recession, foreclosures and housing crisis.

Through this company that has been in business for ten years, I have not only been able to take better care of my family, help my sister fight cancer but I have also been able to fund a good sized downpayment for my new house in Costa Mesa. If I can do it, I'm sure others can too.

The global internet is a goldmine. With sponsorship and recruits, this business will just continue to grow. And when you need rest and relaxation, you can visit your resort and sip some margaritas. Just call me Eric aka Jimmy Buffett enjoying the Margaritaville frame of mind... Actually, I don't drink alcohol anymore... but with spa treatments, surf, sand and sun, who could ask for anything more? I've got a Margaritaville Internet State of Mind... how about you?

So that’s why I created this Google page. This business has really changed my life and I would love to network and work with like minded people and really get the word out. So I encourage you to check out my website at www.16kreasons.com or better yet feel free to give me a call at 949-637-1516. I would love to chat with you and hear your story…
