I have several years in direct sales including Insurance (W. Clement Stone's Combined Insurance Company which provided me a great foundation regarding PMA, sound work ethic and faith). I know I have a firm grasp on sales and marketing philosophies from my continuing studies which should transfer well to IM.
I have been in personal recovery for 24 years and was blessed to work in the addictions field for several years. When I get over my myself and get burned out watching more relapse than ever recover - at least seeds are planted - I have gone totally anti-social-retard and jumped in a big truck and drove across country for a few years.
All has been an insightful experience and with the research, study and semi-serious attempts at this online thing over the past decade, I believe I am exactly where I am supposed to be today.
I look forward to gleaning much from all that is offered here in tools, training, and mostly the experience of those in this outstanding community.
