All Journeys Begin with a Dream! My dream began as a child and I knew early on that I didn't want to spend my life working for someone else. I watched my parents struggle, living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. I didn't want to go down the same path. I wanted to choose my own destiny. And they always encouraged me to follow my dreams. In 1993, I came across an AOL Version 1.0 disk in a magazine. Fascinated by Internet technology, I bought a computer just to play the disk. I was convinced that the Internet would be an innovative way to market any business. I started using e-mail to contact businesses and began making sales from the comfort of home. As I flourished in the online environment, other businesses noticed and began calling. They wanted me to do for them what I was doing for myself. That's when I first recognized the Internet's potential to market Internet services through a home-based business. Meanwhile, I became zealous about the Internet, predicting it would revolutionize the way people communicate. I knew the Internet was a growing market, but I didn't have a clue how powerful it would be or that it would someday change nearly every aspect of our lives.
