Our Web Business, Our 'Baby'Ah yes. Our web business. It truly is our 'baby'. Here's why. Have you ever wondered what would happen IF? ... IF something happened that changed your life completely? ... IF something happened that took you totally out of your comfort zone? (OK, OK - a rut) ... IF something happened that lead you to do things you had never even dreamed possible? Well - that's what happened to us... ... 3 years ago! Mid sixties. Sort of comfortable. Sort of retired. Living day to day. Sort of close to family and friends. Sort of enduring Canadian winters, in the 'same old, same old' rut and struggling with our very first website. Huge work, little reward, no support. So we started to diligently search for a better way. One that was much more likely to succeed and one that was a whole lot more FUN. (We fogies deserve to have some FUN after all)! It was painful trying to decide which way to go. Trying to dig through all the 'noise' on the web. There's literally thousands of GRQ's out there (Get Rich Quick schemes) but at the end of the day they DO NOT work. The only ones' getting rich are the people flogging them! Life has taught us there are no short cuts to success. We needed to avoid our 'first time' mistakes, confusion, disappointment and wasted time. We needed to look for a way we could succeed, be totally on our own, have all the tools we would need and at the same time have a great support system when we needed it. Eureka! We found it! A serendipity moment. Pretty much out of the blue we came upon this company called SBI (Site Build It!). Amazingly, it seemed to answer all of our needs for developing a successful web business. Being our usual cautious and questioning selves though we did some investigating - for almost a year! (did I mention we're a bit cautious)? Try as hard as we could over that year, we couldn't find any weaknesses in SBI. There's so many great things about it you sort of get suspicious of sales hype and hyperbole. But darned if they don't back up everything with hard, cold facts evidence and many real, live successful merchants we could contact. We were to say the least - very impressed! So, at the end of that year we took a deep breath, put our money on the line and started down this path. And gosh darn, they over deliver on every front. Even three years later we're still discovery more new, great stuff as we go down this path and … What a path it is! Now three years later, we've relocated to Ecuador from Western Canada, discovered an incredible new life, new friends, new experiences and new opportunities. Totally WAY out of our comfort zone. All because of our wonderful web business and SBI. Life has truly become fun. Every day is a new journey, a new discovery. We're re-energized and excited about everything in our lives. We really love the benefits of being entrepreneurs, in control of our own destiny. In fact we feel it's about the best way to 'retire'. The best way to cope with these 'most interesting times' and the current global financial mess. It's exhilarating having our own web business where we're part of a global community of 45,000+ fellow web merchants - all committed to helping each other succeed. We've never seen anything quite like this anywhere before. SBI has truly changed our lives! And for an added bonus ... - we get to know some pretty great people with some super websites - over 300,000 of them! Great info, ideas, inspiration and networking. Here's a small sample. How neat is this? If we want to go to Spain, we just call our fellow merchants Jim and Fiona in Tuscany, or Luisa in Puerto Rico or B.Bradtke in Australia. Instant help from friendly faces with a common bond. Sharing Sharing our passion for walking, helping you overcome challenges would not have happened without this incredible global SBI community. Needless to say we love where we are at in life now because of our web business and SBI. We are overjoyed to be able to share this experience with you.
