Hi all!

Wanted to introduce myself. I was in my room when I was 20, browsing murcielago pics when I came across a picture of MJ and a little story.

At the time, I had really ambitious dreams and was desperately looking for templates to follow of people who started like I did (single mother, poor, no rich uncles, no sport or entertainment talent).

I bought TMF , and along with some other books it became part of a biblical anthology for me.

I followed the book to the letter as much as I could, self studying from 20-22 and then getting a job in sales at a factory at 22. I was really ambitious and from start to when I left the company last November, I did almost $35,000,000 in sales and made about $350,000 in commission.

I saved about $200,000 of that commission and started a factory to produce consumer candles for retailers. And have been getting orders from 8 of United States, Canada and England’s largest retailers.

I’m joining the forum because I have a lot of knowledge about sales, and my niche market, but also because I have a lot to learn about financing (cash flow with the growth I’m having is my biggest problem right now, and I’m looking for advice on lines of credit)

Looking forward to meeting you all!
