Because as a mortgage broker, 80% of our clients began to run into major credit issues, therefore causing our company to have a great deal of difficulty trying to handle their loans. Inevitably, we had more customers making use of our credit repair, and educations services than we were doing loans. Along with that we saw the change in people, all the way across the board, as they became educated consumers, able to manage themselves better in regards to their personal & business finances. I do it now because of the difference it makes in the lives of many!

I started my business to help people acquire freedom, from debt, and to have money to sufficiently operate their business! The lack of money, will keep people down and keep them from reaching their God given potential. The credit I am able to get for people, does not require a personal guarantor, or a good fico. The rates are reasonable and they get some freedom to move forward!

When I graduated from college my husband insisted that I got a hobby (with my extra time from not working 3 jobs and going to school full time). I have always been anti hobbies because I dislike the idea of throwing money into a hole on projects that (even though I enjoy doing them) would not bring any money in. As a result I decided to make my hobby into a business, and I LOVE it!

Knowing that life is a journey, I am enjoying the business process along the way and am thankful that the Lord has given me this opportunity. I work to bring income to my family, I work to show my gratefulness to the Lord, and I work to challenge myself on a daily basis!

I started my non-profit because I saw the need for single mothers to be educated in financial resources. As a single mother, I was very unaware of finances, how to spend, how to save. I started educating myself about 10 years ago in and realized there are so many mothers that are in bad situations not because they want to be but because they lack knowledge to get out. It is not a business, it's a passion that has turned into a lifestyle. It was time for me GIVE BACK.

I started Hard Hitterz Incorporated simply because I am surrounded by musical talent. My goal is to help those artists that are dedicated and determined to succeed. That is why Hard Hitterz is in existence today. And that is to provide up and coming artists with a lifeline to achieve their dreams.

Why did I start my business?
We started our business because it was a natural progression. Media has been a big part of our lives since we all meet in college. Our product DIRadioCast happened by accident but has proven to be one of the best investments we ever made.

What do you work for?
Personally I (Africa Allah) am inspired by my passion and commitment to music, media and the arts. I love that I can transform ideas into reality. My goal is to influence change, and improve standards by offering affordable creative solutions that will leave a Distinctive Impression.

Hi everyone we started our businesses (we believe in multiple streams of income and giving a choice for partners) to give us Freedom of choice. Freedom to be able to choose where we went on holidays freedom to give as much as we wanted to our families and to community organizations. Freedom to choose how many hours a week we work and to be able to work together. Freedom to choose where we work from home or beside the pool while away on vacations.

The other reason we decided to become internet marketers is because we want to take total responsibility for our financial security. In today's financial climate a large number of new millionaires will be born and there is no reason you or I can not be one of them. The only reason this will be guaranteed not to happen is if we take no action at all. So action is what the not secret ingredient is and massive action is even more powerful. In other words if you continue to do the same things day after day then you can not expect to have any changes in your life.

Another thing that motivates both of us is our honest desire to empower as many people as possible to achieve their desires and become financially independent and be able to fulfill their dreams and desires both for their families and themselves.

The one thing we are passionate about is coaching and mentoring and this is really our desire to achieve and the vehicle to allow this to manifest is the businesses we are choosing to personally use and promote.

If you would like to sample our team training drop us a line and we will arrange this for you. Your success in business is directly linked to the team you choose to be around.

Blessings Jenny and Ian

I started my business because I love helping other people feel good, regain a healthy lifestyle, and help them find a way to build a business in which they can work from home.

I work my business so I can continue to be home with my family and be able to leave a business income that is willable for two generations.

I started my own business for the freedom to do the things which are important to me. Family. I work to be able to provide for my family but I wanted to be able to spend time with them as well. My father worked himself to the bone and provide for us very well. We wanted for nothing except time with him. I didn't want my family to be able to say the same thing.

I started this business to help young people understand that their destiny lies within themselves and no one else. In utilizing the arts in our community art organization we approach all types of life situations. Claiming that art is an industry and if a youth develops their artistic talents when young, they can become anything they want to be when an adult, that's from artist to zoologist.
To help support this theory, the students and artists place their works on our website to sell, t-shirts, prints, paintings and other art objects:www.liveupart.org. a portion of these procedes goes to the organization. We are a 501c(3) non-profit corporation and serving an area where 80% of the children in public schools qualify for the Federal Lunch Program, we need to find ways of raising money to fund our program.

I am working to help make a difference in the lives of the youth we serve. In the area we serve so many youths lives are shortened because of gang activities and drugs. If we can be an inspiration in some of these lives no matter how small we may make a difference.
