I designed this site to be a constant resource for Investors and Internet Marketers and a helpful guide
to newcomers who want to create a successful online business. It is a logical and practical product of
my vocational mission to assist others in their personal quest for self-improvement.
My experience includes having worked bi-vocationally for over thirty years as an ordained minister and
in several indusrial occupations. I spent more than a decade as a long-haul trucker moving freight over
10 western states. I was the Production Manager for a fabrication plant for six years after that. I served
as the Regional Executive Director and State Vice-President of Evangelical Release-Time Education. In
the early nineties, I decided I needed to be home more regularly, and discussed some possibilities with
a long time friend of mine. He agreed that I should be more available to my family and congregation, so
he proposed forming a joint-venture that he was willing to invest in. He asked me to investigate several
opportunities. To that end, I started to experiment with numerous "Work-At-Home" opportunities, hoping
to find "the right one" to present to my friend.
Most of them were designed to make money mainly for their inventor's only. But I didn't stop looking. I
think that I have always had an entrepreneural spirit. You don't give thirty years of your life to ministry
unless you march to the beat of a different drummer. Then there's being a trucker. The miles I racked up,
the places I've been, the situations and incliment weather I've battled being alone on the road would
have quickly broke me for sure, if hadn't had some pioneer soul burning deep within me. Employment in
Managment, as an Executive-Director, and V.P. positions gave me good organizational skills and a very
solid work ethic.
In retrospect, it seems quite natural that I came to an agreement with my wife and close friend when we
started our own Vending Business in 1991. We named it Vision Enterprises and it soon became our sole
source of income for several years. The name was intentional. "Vision" meant that we were looking to the
future; it was purposely called "Enterprises", (plural), allowing for anticipated diversification.
As frequently happens with budding entrepreneurs, things didn't go exactly as planned. A few years into
our new business, my close friend rather abruptly and unexpectedly left the state, leaving my wife and
me to run the business alone. The only problem with that, was that it had been structured as a joint-venture,
our friend controling a majority share and cash-flow. Long story short, a total buy-out wasn't feasible and
the business could not meet its over-head with only the remaining balance. Our "vision" of the future
momentarily ended in a bankruptcy court.
Having successfully earned a living for several years with Vision Enterprises, I had vowed to myself that I
would never return to the workforce as an employee. I started investigating franchise opportunities, but the
cheapest cost more than I would have needed to buy out my former partner.
I began deperately searching for other affordable, legitimate opportunities. I regularly scanned the classified
ads and began attending investment seminars. Then I attended a conference sponsored by one of those late
night informercial guru's.
Next thing I knew, I'd purchased three professional retail websites for a few thousand dollars. I received a
crash course in Internet Marketing as part of the price. Setting up the legal documents for those first websites,
caused me to reconsider Vision Enterprises. I had allowed it to lapse into "official suspension" with our local
Board of Equalization, but I had never completely surrendered it. On advise of legal experts, I adopted the
same business philosophy we had thrived on when Vision Enterprises was in profit, to a new DBA. I released
Vision Enterprises and then resurrected its old business plan as the present company "ReVision Enterprises".
My Internet Marketing Conference Mentor also put me in touch with an ancient guru of "OPM Financing"
(that's simply using "Other-People's-Money"). Soon I was learning about "No-Money-Down" transactions,
and invested another several thousand dollars on a better education in "Creative Real Estate", and turning
Mortgage Note Deals. I learned 101 ways to sell everything from wheat grass (health-fans eat it, really! ) to
rocket fuel (made of regurgitated wheat grass?).
Two years later I sat back and took inventory. I owned ten "niche" websites. I additionally operated twenty-
three "affiliate" websites. I had advertised all around the world. I'd become a full-time bonified Internet
Marketer. But I was nearly broke, without substantial cash-flow. Nearly every dollar I earned, I was reinvest-
ing in promoting my websites. My wife had taken a position at a local hospital to support us. She had not
worked outside the home since our first child was born thirty years earlier.
Where were the massive profits I had been promised by all the gurus? I then realized that the one thing
none of them taught me, was truly effective advertising. I had spent far more on advertising, than I had
made in profits, from all of my websites combined. I began to wonder why I continued to do this, day after
day, week after week?
The answer I had been brainwashed into believing at the time was because, "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day",
"Success Requires Tenacity", "Quitters Never Prosper"; and this one, created specifically for the lunacy of
Internet Marketing "To Win in this Biz, You Simply Have To Outlast Your Competition". While those may
well be great inspirational bylines, they are NOT the answer.
Then, after some very serious soul-searching and self-evaluation, I actually found the Answer. It has turned
things around for me. It has helped me finally close another chapter in my life, and begin to focus again on
the brighter future ahead. If you are interested in the Answer that I found, I have explained it fully in another
Section of this website Titled: The 300 RULE. To access it, simply CLICK HERE.
In the preceding paragraphs, I shared with you a brief summary of my history as an entrepreneur. I thought
you should know something about me, to affirm my humanity, and hopefully give you someone to relate to.
My biggest problem with many online marketers is that they have become too automated. Most of them can
not be contacted directly and some of them are not even really people, you interface with a computer
maintained program running 24/7/365 on auto-pilot.
The major problem with that kind of marketing program is that it is impossible to include an answer to every
conceivable question even with the most detailed FAQ's. Inevitably, someone is going to encounter some
glitch that will necessitate a response from a living, empathetic human being. I have quit programs simply
because their customer service or support was either rude or virtually non-existent. If someone promises to
help you get from point A to point B and you develop an unforeseen problem along the way, you'd want
special personal attention for your specific problem, right?
Don't misunderstand, I am not opposed to fully automated online business systems. Quite the contrary, I
believe that they are very important to an Internet Marketer's success. I operate several such types of retail
websites. But, while most of the technical aspects of promotion and sales are of necessity very automated,
I always include my personal contact information for all my customers and clients. 
| That is why, I have included this history. I wrote it myself,
so You can gain a sense of who I am. I'm just an ordinary
person who truly hopes to fulfill his promises to You.
