Who is Justin Harris?

Hi everyone! In this portion I just want to take some time and give you some knowledge of who I am, and what my background is.

The reason being is that for most people they have this idea… That wealthy and successful people had it made all along from the beginning… and I am here to tell you that its just not true ok.

See I was born in Albany NY to a single Mom who struggled her whole life to take care of me and herself. We had to live in homeless shelters, and mooch off relatives for about 10 years of my life. She unfortunalty passed away and my adopted Father was a Marine and I got to endure the joys of having a parent gone for extended periods of time and lets face it Marines are not known for their world class personalities. OK

I joined the Marines myself out of high school and spent 8 years of my life in the USMC. I did 3 tours to Iraq on a base known as TQ and my untits mission was casualty evacuatioin.

I loved the Marines and would have stayed in however I broke my wrist on a training event. Had to get out because I cant lift more than 30 lbs with my right arm (dominate arm) and if you can’t do pullups you can’t be a Marine.

This was 2010 when I had to leave the military. Right in the middle of a down economy and a job market freeze. To give you an idea of the situation a local restaurant listed that they had 1 minimum wage position open and 800 people showed up at the door to try to compete for this.

And here is the thing its still going on today in 2012.

So I got a call from posting my resume and was called into a direct sales type company and this was my start in Network marketing. Now this company taught me alot but the bottom line was they had me out in the malls talking to people and cold calling people every day… Working about 80 hours a week trying to get a lead so that I could maybe get one sale a month and make about 1500 dollars.

Now I could see the potential in the industry but I also figured there has to be a better way.

I happend across the opportunites that I am in now and had someone show me how to market online… how to connect with over 100,000 people a day, and how to build a list of active customers who know me and want to buy from me.

But it was a struggle ok… It wasn’t easy.

I had to invest money and time and take setbacks and fail over and over and over again until I figured it out.

So what I have done now is built this website for others to learn from me and not go through as many challenges as I did ( note: you will still have challenges) so that they can enjoy the freedom that I now have.

I want you to believe that you can have everythign you want. Because you can!

You see I am not some magical person that was gifted since birth… I have never had a natural talent for anything. I am always having to practice anything I want to be good at. I am terrible at spelling and grammar. I am an Eagle Scout . I’ve slept on cots in homeless shelters. I walked to school because my parents left for work before the sun came up. And I have worked very hard to build something lasting to give my family and friends freedom.
