Harsh reality was I needed extra income. I could see the full potential & it made total sense: low start-up cost & no risk

Formal background: first 11 years of my economic life as a blue-collar worker and the past 13 years involved in aviation as an airside safety officer. I loved the job, unfortunately I didn’t like some of the people I worked with: with no choice I guess I came to the conclusion my particular career ladder was firmly leaning against the wrong wall!

It was a time for change. I was looking for something I could do for myself and a friend of mine told me about Telecom plus, he told me to keep an open mind. At that point, I firmly closed mine! I was naturally sceptical, had heard it all before, read the book, seen the film, it’s not for me. I had already pre-judged, but because I knew this person I decided to logically check it out. I got a bank manager friend to do some checks on the company, to my astonishment everything checked out and I must admit the timing was right for me to take a serious look at creating a second income stream.

I really wanted choice in my life, you know, be my own boss. I had gone through a divorce – ouch! I have two teenage sons and they are like an industrial vacuum cleaner on my wallet. Besides I am no different to 90% of the population. I suffer from too much month left at the end of the money. I took my head out of the sand, lifted my status hat above my eyes, because the harsh reality was I needed extra income!

My aim was to be financially free, not necessarily stinking rich but have more time to do the things I wanted to do, when I wanted to do them. I then met with some people who had started building their residual income. Normal people, no bull, no hype, no get rich quick stories. They even told me it would be hard work!! After that I just got a gut feeling that this was right. I couldn’t quite put my finger on why; I thought maybe just maybe this could be it.

I could see the full potential and it made total sense: low start-up cost, no risk, high potential future rewards, so I joined. At the time of writing, I have been involved for over five years, full-time for three of those.

Was it plain sailing?, No, I wasn’t an overnight success. Far from it, the first year was difficult to say the least. I couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Was there frustration? Yes. Was there slow growth? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Do I still have problems? Yes. However, this business has given us:

• Choice – there is no feeling like owning your own life. Our team now has tens of thousands of customers and we enjoy a significant residual income from that.
• An Incredible Lifestyle
• Regular holidays
• Property Abroad etc

I tell you this not to show off or try to impress you, but to impress upon you, why not you? Why not now? Excuse the old cliché; I genuinely get a kick out of helping others who want to help themselves, meeting new people and now having the choice. Best thing to date is taking my family to swim with the Dolphins in the Bahamas, walking the beaches of the world and paying off the mortgage. Best of all is buying my old dad a new car!
