I hated my jobs.  I lived from paycheck to paycheck, barely getting by.  I was bored out of my mind working my tedious jobs, I thought I was going brain death.  I needed massive doze of caffeine to start my day, as if I was some type of drug addict.  I really didn’t see the point of suffering the LA traffic everyday for something so meaningless.  Yet, I kept working in the corporate America for years, because I thought that was what I was supposed to do.  When I got laid off for the third time, I didn’t know what was next, but I knew what wasn’t.

I was born and grew up in Japan, and I didn’t feel I fit in the society.  I came to the U.S. when I was 20 although I didn’t know anybody here, because I was convinced this place was a better fit for me.  I know, I was crazy.  I love the land of opportunity, but it means absolutely nothing if you don’t know what it is.

So after the third layoff, I went on to do a variety of things, from modeling and acting to network marketing to starting businesses, and a lot of struggling.  I refused to go back to a job and I loved the freedom, but I desperately needed to find a direction where I can succeed and makes me feel fulfilled.  After a lot of soul searching and working with my life coach, realized I had a coach in me as well, and I loved the idea of making it my career.

I was happy that I finally found something meaningful and I was passionate about.  However, starting a new business is of course not easy, and it’s not like I had a big budget to promote myself.  In fact, I had almost none.  But I really needed to start making money, and was hungry for information that would help me.

One day, I found this man in network marketing who went from having no internet experience and low budget, to promoting his website to a top 40,000 site on Alexa in just a few months.  I never made money in my last MLM and I wasn’t sold on the idea, but I knew I needed a piece of his action.  I decided to grab the opportunity and follow his methods and marketing system.

My life has definitely taken a turn since.  The training and system I’ve been receiving have been invaluable, and I know I can adopt the same principles to any business.  I’m extremely happy I found what I did and made the decision I did, as my business continues to grow.

My hope now is to help other entrepreneurs and those who are perhaps in a similar situation I was in.  I would like to share my knowledge with you.  To learn more, please read about Working with Me Personally.
