OfflineI am a self employed Information Technology consultant that recently got effected due to the economy. My Contract was cut short which has left me without a job for the last month and a half. ON the bright side, this is the first vacation I have had in about three years.
While searching for another project(job) and studying to bring some of my certifications up to date I happened to get up early one morning and saw the infomercial. I was skeptical at the time and busy with my other studies so I kinda blew it off. A week or so later I caught the last half of the infomercial but was still a little hesitant, but started thinking about it. I decided if I caught the infomercial again that I take down the number and would order the book. This time, however, when the infomercial came on I not only ordered the book but I DVR'd the infomercial so I could share it with my wife and adult kids.
My credit is pretty wacked, I don't have a lot of money to invest due to no work and no pay but reading both of Dean's books BARM and PFRERN, I am hoping to at least atain some passive income. I plan on using the IEE for the first few deals to get some seed money and then buying some rental properties to atain the passive income.
It is 4:12am on 5/11/2009 and since I was unable to sleep thinking about starting my new journey, I decided to start work a little early. Today is the day that I take charge of my life and start building a brighter future. OH, and yes I am still looking for a job so I at least have a documentable income until this takes off.
I will be working on the Robotic marketing system and building my team this week.
Wish me luck!

New in Columbus
Hey Anthony, my name is Brent. My fiance and I just recently came to the same conclusion that you did. Fortunately we still have our jobs but we dont want to work 9-5 for the rest of our lives. We are brand new at this so we are still learning everyday. We live in Columbus which isnt western Ohio but I figured it cant hurt to have some contacts elsewhere. I am sure we can learn tons from each other.
