My story…

Hello,my name’s Marcus.

Some people find their ideal lives early on in life and consequently find success at an early age too.  I’ve always admired these types because my life was nothing like this. My journey took a whole lot longer which is why this quote is so close to my heart.

“Never, never, never, give up” – Winston Churchill

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa and started out my career as a school teacher and although I did return to this a number of times in my life, I also managed to do a lot of other things in between.

To be honest  I never stuck with anything for very long. I always felt trapped, unfulfilled and desperately unhappy working in a job.

Traveling and writing have always been my greatest passions and I did a lot of this in between jobs. This continues to be very important to me; far more so than owning mansions and fast cars.

I have lived in New Zealand, the UK, Spain and Australia. I currently live in Sydney.

When I first came across network marketing it appeared to offer everything I was looking for, especially greater freedom in my life.

So started my six year struggle in this industry. I did everything I was told to do even though I found many “old style” network marketing practices like approaching friends and family to join me in business, very uncomfortable.

I achieved absolutely nothing except to lose some friends, go broke and get very frustrated.  I joined no less than five companies in this time, always convinced that the next company would be the “right one”. Of course it never was. Eventually I turned my back on the industry believing that it was just an illusive dream.

Then came a point in my life where everything came tumbling down around my ears in every way possible. My personal relationship collapsed, I was jobless, homeless and simply lost! I knew that I had to take some serious action to improve my life once and for all.

I was drawn back to network marketing. Nothing else fired me up as much, nor could I find anything  else that had the potential to give me what I wanted. This time I decided to market primarily online.

Before long I was experiencing the same old problems – no leads, no money and no business.  I was frustrated and confused. Why couldn’t I get it to work? I knew it must be possible because others were actually doing it.

I am pleased to say I did finally figure it  out but there were a few things I had to learn first -

I learned that to be successful in business you have to build it one brick at a time and and be prepared to hang in  there for as long as it takes.

I learned about attraction marketing via Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring”. This changed everything I had ever known about network marketing.

I realized that my business had to be about me first and foremost. I learned to brand and position myself, while drawing on my personal power to step up and become the leader one must become if one wants to be successful.

I learned to take responsibility for for my own success and I stopped blaming my past failure on  companies, sponsors, the economy and whatever else I could find to blame.

I realized that the problem was me. I knew I had to become stronger so that I could change  my life regardless of the fears and the obstacles I encountered.

I worked more on myself  than on my business which meant doing a lot of personal development. More than this I learned that I had some serious self limiting beliefs that were preventing me from being successful. I learned how to re-program my sub conscious mind and then I started to see change.

I also learned how to market properly using the power of an attraction marketing system.

I have been sharing what I learned ever since with whoever wants to learn the secrets to success in this industry.

My mission…

… is now to assist people looking to build a successful  business on the Internet  in a way that is attractive, fun and deeply satisfying so that they can live  ideal prosperous lives.

I value…

• my freedom
• my ability to be self reliant
• opportunities to contribute in whatever way I can to making life better for whoever I come into contact with.

I do what I do because…

I love the freedom it gives me – the freedom to work for myself when I choose and where I choose. The freedom to determine my income and the freedom to live the kind of life that is important to me. I get to be creative,  help others, travel extensively and have a whole lot of fun.

Some of my favorite quotes are:

“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli

“It’s the set of the sails, not the direction of the winds that determines which way we will go.” ~ Napoleon Hill

“If you want to have more, you must become more.” ~ Jim Rohn

“You must work harder on yourself than you do on your business.” ~ Jim Rohn

“If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.” ~ Brendan Francis

Live the life you love and love the life you live!

My goal? Helping you achieve yours.
