Retire at 45 & travel the

Retire at 45 & travel the
World!
 Getting started in this
business nine years ago, the goal was to find an opportunity to earn a
significant income without the confines of a 20 hour a day job and a boss
breathing down my neck. I didn't know a lot about network marketing, even less
about the Utility Warehouse and didn't have the slightest idea that it was
going to provide me with a secure income and a truly happy life.

In the early days I worked so hard for very little reward and
one of the hardest things was to keep going without the evidence that I was
ever going to succeed. At that time there were no role models, none that had
gone before me, that I could look up to and get advice from and there were a
few times (actually many times) when I doubted that I would earn enough to feed
the cat, let alone myself and the idea of being able to eat in the world's top
restaurants was to say the least remote. But, as my wife will tell you, I am a
determined so and so.

Many people, including my closest family
told me that it would never work but I stuck at it and, slowly at first, my
business began to take shape. With the arrival of Charles, the services
improved and a semblance of an administration appeared. It still fell far short
of the organisation that we enjoy today but as the saying goes, every little
helps.
As you will discover, the business is like a rolling stone - you
have to get it over the hill but when it starts going down the other side, it
rapidly picks up speed and eventually rolls on its own. Once my business was
"over the hill" I was amazed at how fast it grew. I continued to work hard, but
now, with my income growing each month I was able to enjoy the fruits of my
labour.
The company had realised the importance of training and
together with the other top Distributors I became heavily involved with the
College Of Excellence. From humble beginnings this has become a linchpin of the
company and has helped countless Distributors to build successful businesses.
Gradually my role changed. As my own business started to look after itself I
was able to spend more time helping members of my team. I spent a lot of time
studying network marketing and being able to pass on this knowledge to others
became a most enjoyable part of my life.
Eventually the business was
virtually running itself and generating a substantial income. At that time I
only had myself to think about and I decided to retire. I had always dreamed of
owning a yacht and sailing around the world and with my residual income giving
me that opportunity, why not? My close friend John Joselyn, former Executive
Services Director, had died suddenly and this acted as a catalyst to my
decision.
I paid my deposit, started making preparation for my trip and
then, out of the blue, met a lady who was to change everything. As a confirmed
bachelor I hadn't even considered the possibility of marriage but Sandra and I
fell in love very quickly and it soon became obvious that we were destined to
spend our lives together.
However, try as I might, she was somewhat
reluctant to leave her three children and circumnavigate the world with me.
Despite spending long lazy summers on the boat and wonderful sailing holidays
in the Med it became clear that our future together would need to be more land
based.
Additionally, although retirement at 45 may seem like a dream
come true, the reality of it was less appealing. We have too much energy and
too much to offer to stop work completely. Fortunately, one of the advantages
of network marketing is that you can take some time out, recharge the batteries
and return to it. With Sandra, I have rediscovered the enthusiasm for my
business and her skills as a teacher compliment what has become our network
marketing company.
However, neither of us wanted to be tied to the
conventional working week. We enjoy spending a lot of time together, having
quality time with the children, traveling extensively and are glad that we are
able to run the business around these things. The residual income has continued
to grow and enables us to have a marvelous balance between our work and social
life.
When we met, Sandra knew nothing about network marketing and her
Christian beliefs and pastoral background at times seemed to be at odds with
the cut and thrust that is part and parcel of the business world. We have had
many animated discussions about certain aspects of network marketing and she
made it clear that she could not support anything that she considered
unethical. Neither was she that impressed with earning shed loads of money.
Of course she enjoys the material things that this brings but the
ability it gives her to spend more time with her beloved children means more to
her than any amount of expensive jewelery could. That of course is one of the
beauties of this business - it gives you the freedom to choose. We could spend
as many hours on the business as I did in the early days and earn more and more
money but that would get in the way of our lovely life together. Both of us
still enjoy working and Sandra in particular loves the teaching side of our
business. We can spend a lot of our working hours devising ways to help
everybody in our team to achieve their dreams, whatever they may be.
We
are now very happily married and celebrate each monthly anniversary of our
wedding day in a different country. This is one of the luxuries that our
residual income allows us and one that even Sandra admits to enjoying. Our
business continues to grow and with it our financial security and peace of
mind. We don't crave the millionaire lifestyle and adore our quiet and simple,
private life in Croatia but that does not mean that we have forgotten the
business that gave us that life. We remain active in Telecom plus and
available to anyone of you that would like our help or advice.
We
always attend Express Day and hope that many of you will choose to come and
speak to us there. When we are in the UK we are always happy to attend any
meetings that you may have (logistics permitting) and to share with you and
your guests the things that we have learnt along the way that may help you with
your goals.
To each of you we say, "you have a unique opportunity to
achieve the lifestyle you desire - look to the future, remain focused and go
and achieve it".
