WELCOME TO MY BLOG
Your's Truly
I'm your rags to riches story. If I can do it you can too. I was born and raised in Louisiana. We were so poor that we had government comodities on the table. That was surplus cheese and peanut butter.
The day after I graduated from high school in 1966, I moved to Houston, Texas, for the sole purpose of going to work for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. In those days top pay was $4.00 an hour. That meant when you were on overtime you would be earning a dime a minute. Big money in those days.
After a year with Ma Bell, I was drafted to go and fight in Vietnam. I managed to stay alive and come back with two Purple Hearts and one Bronze Star.
Upon returning to Houston in 1969, after two years in the U.S. Army, I went back to work for the phone company. Those were the days when sex was clean and the air was dirty.
I bought my first Corvette, a 1972 Red T-Top, with a 454 CI motor and 4-on-the-floor and a fifth under the seat. Just kidding! This was my birthday present to me and from me.
To earn additional income I started buying and selling Corvettes. You could buy a nice car for $3,000 to $5,000. I'd get an interest only loan so, even at 12% it was only costing $30 to $50 a month to drive America's Sports Car. I'd drive them until they sold, then I'd pay off the loan and keep $1,000 to $3,000 profit. There is no such thing as too much profit, unless it is the other guys or gals.
I attended South Texas Junior College at night and received an Associate's Degree in Business. I transfered to Austin, Texas, to finish school at the University of Texas. After arriving in Austin, I discovered you needed to be a full time, day time student to graduate. I had a full time, day time JOB. By the way, I've since learned that JOB stands for "just over broke" or "journey of the broke".
I continued buying and selling Corvettes until 1979 when I discovered you could make more money buying and selling houses. I purchased my first home in Austin in 1976 for $36,000. Three years later, I sold it for $66,000. I thought that was better than buying and selling cars, so I started buying and selling houses.
I've bought and sold over a hundred houses and have sixty rentals which pay a residual income. I still follow foreclosures in three Central Texas counties, but I make a whole lot more money with Ambit Energy, marketing discounted electricity and natural gas.
I used LEVERAGE of MONEY to buy all my Corvettes and houses. I now use LEVERAGE of TIME to make the majority of my income. Thanks to Ambit Energy, I have over 17,000 energy consultants who have gathered over 70,000 electricity and natural gas customers, upon which I get paid a portion of their electric bill each month. This is true RESIDUAL INCOME.
How many people do you know who use electricity or natural gas. Would they rather pay more? Or, would they rather pay less? How much money do you think we can make helping people save money??
How much RESIDUAL INCOME do you receive each month? If you don't, why don't you? If I can, YOU CAN TOO! Just watch the short movie at: www.NoTrafficJams.com .
