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 work for two reasons (1) I love what I do and (2) I get a wonderful feeling of being gratefull for what I have achieved when I see other people live a healthier and joyful life.

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.

I started this business primarily after I realized I was doing it at no cost for others for some time. I used to work for a private college in computer services where I stumbled upon this line of work and I fell in love doing it!

I suppose I work for a host of reasons, some for my family, myself and for other small business owners. I am at a point now where I need to expand the business and for a long time I have put that off because I thoroughly relish the flexibility I have with my schedule which allows me the ability to care for my family and work at my own pace and at my own schedule. However, again it is now at a point and I'm at the point, where I need to expand.

Why did I start my business?

My business started with personal need for effective illness reversal. My daughter and I were both ill with mercury toxicity, organ damage, MCS, migraines, etc. I studied nutrition, interviewed a ton of alternative doctors, tried a ton of their therapies and finally figured out a solution that gets results for just about chronic health condition on the planet.

What do you work for?

Watch the video on www.sharethecause.com/detoxqueen and you will see why I do what I do. The entire world needs healing.

I started my business because I want to build an empire. I'm not doing it to try make a great name for myself but for the organisation I'm trying to build. Also, it isn't really about money. I want to build an international space transport organisation, starting with space tourism, that will dominate the provision of space transport. Sounds like a monopoly, doesn't it? That's the idea - to build an organisation of people working together with the common aim to make space transport as common and as easy as air travel is now. It needs to be bigger and more powerful than any nation state, because we need to keep war from spreading beyond the Earth and we need to make it possible, as soon as may be, to start colonising the Moon and Mars, before our ever expanding population and the continuing depletion of the Earth's obviously finite resources makes anything more than scratching a life from an overheated and strip-mined Earth impossible. I bet you think I'm mad. Still, you asked the question and this is my answer.

Why did I start my business? I started this Business so I can show and teach everyday people that a website is not all the trouble it seems to be.. Half of the time it's lack of Information that keeps a website from growing... What do you work for? I work for the gratitude of knowing I have been able to show some one an easier way to do their Online work.. I Also work to spread the word, about the simplicity of web development!!

The business that I am in,property management,sought me rather than the other way around. I appraised real estate for some out of town investors and also,helped to put a few deals together. After they bought rental real esate,they had no one to collect the rents and arrange for repairs. I literally asked about 5 or 6 of my friends and professional property managers who were well-established to take on this task but they all refused,so that left me. So far,it has been successfull,although with a few bumps on the road.

I have been working very hard all my life for what I have.
Being a Respiratory therapist for the past 27 years helped me to be more stable and grow, so I could take care of my kids.
I learned that working for Corporate America was not the answer
I get paid but I will never be Free and if I get sick, I may loose everything, my kids will get nothing but bills.

I always knew that I needed to look for something different to get out of being a slave to the clock so I could spend quality time with my family and if I was sick and unable to work, I would be receiveing residual income from a job well done long time ago.

I came across this great, fun opportunity and I saw it from the first day it was presented to me.
I know that Travel is a huge industry and it does not matter what happens, everyone travels and want to have fun.

My children and grandchildren will be happy to know how hard I worked to protect their future

My family is very important to me, I feel safe and grateful now that I found my plan B
