I’m really excited to have found Alex Jeffreys and his mentoring package at just the right time for me.

I had been a teaching and learning assistant for nearly 5 years at our local FE college and after some hard work interrupted by illness I finally qualified as a teacher this summer.

I took a new job at another college in October but, found that I really did not enjoy it and as I had a journey of nearly an hour each way, I was so tired at the end of the day that I couldn’t give the attention to my family that I wanted to.

I made the decision to leave my new job, which given the economic situation at the moment was quite scary.  I have managed to get some hourly paid teaching back at my local college, but there is not too much before Christmas and then I will have to wait until the following month before I am paid.

So – I took a deep breath and thought – now is the time to increase my home businesses and do some more work on the Internet.

I have been selling second-hand books on Amazon and greetings cards through a network marketing company, both of which I enjoy, but at the moment do not make me much money.

I have spent the last couple of years on email lists, listening and learning to others and I thought that now was the ideal time to move forward in this venture.

How was I going to do this?  I wasn’t sure so I bought a couple of other eBooks the day after I left my job and started looking through them and implementing some of the things I was told to do.

I still wasn’t sure about it and then on the Monday I found Alex Jeffreys’ mentoring programme, watched the video and signed up there and then.

Why?

I know that one of the most important things in moving forward is to have a mentor.  I knew that it would help me to avoid long hours going down the wrong track, searching in the wrong place, losing money and probably resulting in giving up.

Why Alex?

I liked what he said about giving away in order to get something in return.  This is very much my philosophy.  I liked the fact that it wasn’t purely a money grabbing exercise as I don’t believe the ‘get rich quick’ claims and know that hard work is required to move forward.

I also liked the fact that he is British and that as I am British myself I felt that there was some sort of connection, as sometimes the gurus in America seem more remote both in their location and in understanding how the British mind ticks.

So if you are looking for some good down to earth common sense advice and a way to get started on the Internet do check Alex out:

you’ll be glad that you did.

So what are my goals now?

To get this blog up and running.

To get my website up and running

To build my profit pulling platform

Most of all to make enough money so that I can work from home and be around for my children.  To support them as they enter their teenage years (more about that in a later post) and to not be so tired that I cannot enjoy the time I have with them and the rest of my family.

I look forward to your support and comments and I hope that I can grow with fellow students of Alex both those who are on his programme now and those who will benefit from his experience and teaching in the future.

Let’s move forward together.

“We don’t have to get it right, we just have to get it going.” 

 I have had that on the wall over my computer for nearly a year now – and I finally have got it going.

To our journey!
