If am asking you to consider doing business with me it is only fair that you know a bit about my business background and experience. In essence, what do I bring to the table that will help you find, build, and become successful in YOUR online business.
I have been self-employed since 1971 in many different businesses, often owning and operating multiple businesses at the same time. In general, the fields have included services, advertising, marketing, real estate investing, and real estate development.
Starting in Houston, TX in 1971 I co-owned a paint and body shop where we "white labeled" work for auto dealerships along the Southwest Freeway in Houston that did not have body shops. At the same time, we owned a service business that delivered and installed appliances for stores that did not have delivery departments (for example; Globe Discount City, and Firestone Tire stores that, at that time, sold window AC Units and other household appliances).
A third business we owned and operated at this time was a flat-rate moving service within the city targeting those who lived in one-bedroom apartments.
In the 1980s I had ownership in an independent record label headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada where I interacted with some very well-known recording artists. I was also the Executive Producer of the infomercial for the "Target Success" system developed by Don Dwyer. Our two major talent spokespersons for the infomercial were Rosie Grier and Rocky Bleier.
I built my first website in 1998 to promote a company we started named Profit Pacesetters that sold business opportunity mailing lists to people in the MLM industry. I later sold (and financed) that business to one of my employees.
In 2001, I founded USSurfs.com which offered internet dial-up services. When broadband became the standard for Internet access we transitioned USSurfs to become our holding company for all things related to the Internet. By 2004 we evolved into website development and promotion for other companies and individuals, including ranking many of these sites in the top 10 on page 1 of the search engine results pages.
Along the way during the 1990s, in my spare time, I also earned a BA in Economics and an MBA in Finance, both from the University of North Texas. However, my real education came not so much from books and classrooms, but from actually doing it for the last 50+ years.
You can be certain that I know the kind of hard work and persistence it takes to be successful, and I can help you become successful in your own online business if that is your goal.
