How I became The Free Wit.

I do enjoy a good party. To me a “good party” is when good friends get together, and enjoy doing things together. Whether it is playing games, having a discussion, or simply watching a movie. I enjoy simple friendship and the fellowship that comes with making new friends and building old friendships.

Along with some other events in my life, I decided to put together a website that would help other people plan those “lets do this again” type parties. When someone says “lets do this again sometime” you know you had a successful party. I enjoy helping people decide how to plan events.

The really fun part of building this website, was to actually discover that I could make a good living doing something I enjoy. Being my own boss, working my own schedule, working from any location I want, and making a good income, just seemed too good to be true. 

I spent over twenty years working long hours, for large corporations. I worked hard at doing my job well, moving up the corporate ladder, meeting deadlines, etc., etc., etc... During that time, the company I was working for sold three times. I actually sat at the same desk, doing the same job, working with the same people, and worked for four different corporations. 

There were countless layoffs and rumors of layoffs as a result of those corporate buy-outs, and fluctuations in the economy. If you have worked in that type environment, you know how stressful it can be. The sword of, "will I be on the next RIF (Reduction In Force) list?", hung over everyone's head constantly. 

One of those corporate take-overs resulted in the loss of most of my retirement savings. At that point, I realized I need to put back a few dollars for my old age. But, what I really need is a source of income that I control. I have become quite accustomed to food with my meals over the years. And, I also enjoy doing some fun things, like the parties I mentioned earlier. 

At that point, I decided that retirement was redefined as “job change”. For me, retirement is owning a business that is fun and low stress. My initial expectation was that the income would also be lower. After all, I had learned to equate stress level with income level over the years. The big surprise was yet to come.

I wanted to own a business I could operate regardless of my physical condition or age. That pretty much eliminated things like building rock retaining walls, or professional rodeo. I need a good paying business, with flexible hours, that is not labor intensive. I have learned that you can work hard, or you can work smart. Working smart is much more enjoyable.

I didn't have a large amount of money to risk purchasing a business, so spending several hundred thousand dollars on a brick-and-mortar business was pretty much out of the question. Actually, I wanted to keep my financial risk in the three digit category (under one thousand dollars) and still find something with a good possibility of success.

I read a few articles about building an Internet business and found it to be a very interesting business to get into. But I didn't know the first thing about building web pages, or how you actually make money on the internet. I looked at several options to get training and found there is a great deal of expensive traing that really doesn't teach much. Also, I am a hands-on type person. What I needed was a class I could take while I build my E-business. I wanted to learn about a phase, then do it. Learn about the next phase, then do it, and so on. 

I was excited when I found a free, ten step video class in building an E-business. They call it a ten day plan. You could work through it in ten days I suppose. But I prefer to say it is "ten steps" because some of the "days" were a week for me. 

It is self paced, so you can stop and work through a concept, or back up and repeat as much as you need. It worked fantastic for me, because I need to work things slowly, with lots of repetition. I still go back and watch some of the classes from time to time. The smarter folks are the ones who get it the first time, and finish the course in ten days or less.

The ten step course is just the tip of the iceberg of information and training these folks offer. One of the best E-books I have read about Internet business is the Affiliat Masters Course. This is a fantastic Internet business concept, and the book is very easy to read. Oh yes, it is free as well. 

Another of my favorites is the Work-at-home-mom course. It provides a great deal of information for mom's who are considering building a work at home business. Yep, it is free too.

I spent a couple weeks going through what they had to offer for free. It was valuable information and I gained a lot of basic insight into Internet business.  It isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a no non-sense, real business that you build into a good consistent income. Most of the get-rich-quick "opportunities" are simply opportunities to fatten someone elses wallet.

Their philosophy is, if they can make you successful, you will be a long term customer. So they provide training, reference material, tools, forums, and technical assistance, all with the goal of making you a successful Internet business owner. I did all the due diligence, and double checked the cost of every plan I could find and I am convinced that Site Build It!(SBI) offers the very best deal in the market. SBI is a webhost, mentor, support community that will make you successful in your Internet business.

All the other services I checked offer a few tools, and a little training, then they charge extra for everything you add after that. The Site Build It! package is very affordable, and provides everything needed to build a viable Internet business. There are no extras needed. All the training, tools, information, and support come with the purchase of the Internet service. There are no hidden extras. 

By the way, my Internet business became a self-supporting, profitable enterprise long before I hit that thousand dollar maximum investment I mentioned earlier. I decided what I wanted to do, wrote down a plan of how to do it, broke the plan into phases, and put deadline dates on those phases. Now I have two websites that I thoroughtly enjoy building and maintaining. 

Nothing takes the place of persistence. It does require some work, but you can do it. I am not a genius, I simply followed the simple plan and kept building web pages. Pretty soon things started coming together. I was so excited when that first check came. There is just something special about building your own successful business. I hope you will try it, for your own sense of accomplishment, and security.

If you are thinking of an Internet business, whether it is as a new career or to fund your retirement, let me suggest that you seriously consider Site Build It!. Here are a few links to some of the training I was talking about, just to give you an introduction. There are a great deal more resources available, so this is just a sampling. Just for fun, there is a pretty cool movie by a family who has used SBI to build their family business.
