Here’s short a story about a guy who has been in business for over 20 years. He has built businesses in all sorts of industries. And like so many others, he has had some successes and lots of failures.
As he got older however, he noticed that business success was less about what he did and more about how he did it. In other words he realized that the concepts of “80 hour work weeks” and “vacations are for wimps” weren’t the keys to success. He figured there had to be a better (smarter) way.
His Quest Begins
As you might have guessed, that guy is me. I’m in my mid 40’s (okay, late 40’s) and I live in the San Diego, CA area. When I’m not working on my various business enterprises or spending time with my family I’m usually on the golf course (mostly looking for my errant ball).
Over the years I’ve done a lot of thinking and research on what makes us “successful”. Of course, one of the things I came to realize was that “success” is a self-defined term. In other words, it is what it is, for you.
My challenge was always that I love playing golf, taking long walks, playing basketball, watching sports on TV, and hanging out on the beach. All so called “no -no’s” according to conventional wisdom on how to get ahead!
But I never gave up. And I finally figured it out.
Mentors and Teachers
I want to give full credit where credit is due. Many people contributed to my recent “ah-ha’s” and have helped me to create a terrific life, and I want to single out a few in particular (you can check out who they are and what they have to offer by clicking on the links next to their names):
Armand Morin
Bob Doyle – Wealth Beyond Reason
Ken Evoy – Site Build It
Jimmy D. Brown – Sales Army
I’ve incorporated their teachings and programs into my online business model and I have created for myself a simple to manage and very profitable web based business.
The Dream Comes True
In the end what I’ve created for myself is a business that earns me money whether I’m playing golf or playing with my kids on the beach!
And this is something I believe ANYONE can do.
Is it slam-dunk easy – NO
Can it be done overnight – NO
Are you guaranteed “success” – NO
Hey, I’m telling you the truth here! I call ‘em Like I see ‘em.
Can you be making money while you sleep – YES
Can it be done faster than with a traditional business – YES
Can you have “success” if you follow the steps – ABSOLUTELY YES!
So that’s my story…
And that’s why I created this website. Check out what I talk about here and you too can have whatever “success” you want, however you choose to define it.
I wish you all the best,
Del Lewis
