LinkedIn Profile

I have owned multiple business over the last 12 years and been involved in helping other businesses develop and grow in a consultant type role. I have been involved on and off with Network Marketing for 25 years now.

I sum myself up as a "Network Marketing Entrepreneur"! I am now focused 100% on building multiple stream's of income. To me this makes sense in today's financial environment. The modern day way of "earning a living" has changed and no longer can we rely on just one income stream. It is important for us to develop multiple streams. The world has changed and continues to do so. We have to adapt as individuals and business owners or we get left behind.

I appreciate that this is an unconventional approach to our working lives. But as far as I am concerned it is just common sense for each of us to have a plan B, a plan C, D, E and even F!!!!! By utilizing the internet and social media everyone has the ability and opportunity to build supplementary incomes and international businesses from a spare bedroom or your front room from a laptop.

Before we start, heres a great quote for you...

Human beings can alter their lives by altering their

attitudes of mind. - William James

Well, where do I start?

I have had a huge variety in my working life from retail management to field sales both B2B and B2C. At the age of 29 I decided to join the Police. Had an enjoyable time serving London and did several specialisations including becoming a trainer looking after 10 police stations in south London. During this period I was also a single dad bringing up two young sons which I did for 10 years. Life wasn't too easy I can tell you!

After 7 years in the police I was offered a role by a large financial services group as a regional recruitment manager, so I decided to leave the police and join them. Things started to slow down in financial services and I could see the writing on the wall so as I had always wanted to own my own business in 2000 I took a huge gamble and bought a franchise. Luckily for me that was successful. Following some personal issues in 2002 I decided to sell up and moved out to Thailand in 2003 to live.

I initially bought a small car rent business and that kept me going for 18 months. I then went into partnership and bought a monthly property magazine. Developed that and also a Multiple Listing Website to compliment the magazine. That was successful and I eventually bought out my partners.

During this period I also got involved with Rotary, and joined an English speaking club and ended up being President 2007-2008.

Late 2007 I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Whilst in hospital and following my operation I caught an infection called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS). At one stage in November 2007 was given 3 days to live. I was rushed to a Bangkok hospital where after being on life support for 6 weeks and spending 11 weeks in hospital I pulled through.

I then underwent chemotherapy in early 2008.

After all that I sold up in Thailand and returned to the UK, with double the money I went out there with. And that is very unusual for Thailand, believe me! I returned home in July 2008. In August 2008 and now back in the arms of the dear old NHS and after various scans and tests I got given the all clear on the cancer front (huge sigh of relief). UPDATE - Nov 2012 5 years all clear given!
