Hi, All:
I just wanted to share one of my major marketing goals, and ask for feedback.
As I mentioned in my “Hello” post, I’m growing a network marketing business that Dad saw potential in and enrolled us when he was 94. The company is publicly traded (ticker LFVN).

Good luck to you! Keep your head up and forge full speed ahead into doing something! You’ll do fine as long as you just don’t sit back and wait for that “something” to find you!

Follow-up guys! Applied for a job more my speed (actual marketing stuff + copywriting involved 🙂 and doing a test-run tomorrow! Also, followed up a with a cool company who was in a webinar I was helping run with my last cool-tech-gig and have a new connection in the works that may lead to remote work. So… Lesson: Grab life by the horns!

Thank you Virginia. I’m very excited. I’ve been following John for a few years now and have decided to follow my passion for writing copy and forge a career as a writer.
Hey Rob! I grew up not far from you in Watervliet. Live on the West side of the state now in Monroe. Direct-response can be a lonely endeavor in these parts. Seems like anyone with a marketing opinion just doesn’t get it. Good seeing you.
