Today, I want to share with you is a business opportunity, but as a means of introducing myself to folks who don’t know me, I will tell you about myself.

I am a software engineer. I have been involved in this career field for a little over 20 years. I have done pretty well in my career. I used to make over $100,000.00 a year. I had a nice home, a nice car. I had done pretty well with my career. I was even putting aside a lot of money in my 401K and into my savings. I knew one day I wanted to retire. I wanted to retire early; around in my 50’s. Once I retire, I wanted to have enough energy and health to enable me to do activities that I enjoy doing; such as traveling.

But, what happened was there were changes in the job industry. I ended up going through a number of downsizings. I went through six. My third one, I lost my home, my car, and all of my savings. At the age of 42, I had to start my life all over again. I had to move in with my mother, which was not easy. I have been on my own since I was 18, but we all do what we have to in order to survive. This is exactly what I did.

Now, two years later, I am starting to get back on my feet. Things are starting to get better. Over a year ago, I started a real estate investment company. I bought some properties. I moved into one of my properties a little over a year ago. I just got tired of living in apartment complexes. Now, the tables have turned and my mother is currently living with me. So, that is my story and I am sticking with it.

But, like I said earlier, I want to share with you a business opportunity that I joined just over four months ago. I joined this business opportunity because, as an entrepreneur, I wanted a home business that offered me the ability to be my own boss, work from my home, use the internet to build my business , and to do all of this around my personal life.

I have been involved in the home business industry for almost six years. My first home business was with an MLM that was involved in the health and wellness industry. On average, I was making $200-$300 per month. At one point, I was even made as much as$2,500-$4000 per month, but this was very brief.

What I discovered was that many of the people I brought into my business either could not or were not willing to duplicate my marketing methods. At that time, the methods I used was to talk to as many people as I could; such as family and friends or people I met while running errands, etc. I also passed out business cards and fliers too as a means of marketing my business.

Because I am a serious entrepreneur, I am going to do exactly what I am taught because I assume that my upline is more experienced than I. If my upline says that these methods are going to make you successful, therefore, I am going to do what makes one successful.

But many people are not like me. So, a lot of people were not as willing to engage in the type of marketing that was being taught at that time. To me, this meant that we did not really have a system in place that I would consider could be duplicated. Many were not willing, I feel because it does require learning new skills, which is something most people find difficult, especially early in their growth development.

Marketing requires skills and it does not matter whether you are doing it offline or online.

CarbonCopyPro does teach you how to market your business online. In fact, the methods that I am using, such as, Google Adwords, video marketing, blogs, social networking sites, all of which are starting to work only because I have decided to invest the time to learn. I still invest the time to improving what I have already learned. My goal is to share what I have learned, which is why I want to spend as much time as possible improving my knowledge in marketing. You see, once I am able to do this, then I am able to offer more value to all of my prospects.

Once my prospects learn and they start to see success in their business using the marketing strategies that I teach them, then they will be more willing to stay with me in my business.

This is the difference between and entrepreneur and an opportunity seeker. An opportunity seeker believes that it is the business opportunity that will bring about their success in business. They also have unrealistic goals, meaning they believe that they will achieve success in a short amount of time and when they don’t achieve this goal, they quit and move on to another business opportunity. Hence, the term “Opportunity Seeker”.

Realistically, building a business takes time. Building a business is a process, which means success will not come overnight. The business builder must first learn skills in building a business before success can happen. Thus, the amount of time it takes to build a successful business is going to be determined by how quickly the business builder can acquire business knowledge and marketing skills. The mindset of the business builder must also be established before success can occur.

Because I have been in the home business industry for almost 6 years and I have invested most of that time in learning, I can say that I am a much more skilled business owner than when I first started. The results I am currently producing show this to be true.

Learning about marketing and enhancing my marketing skills has been my focus this past year. The results I am getting in my business are such that I am generating 20-30 leads per day. In three, almost four months, I have generated over 800 leads. I am earning cash flow that is paying for almost all of my online marketing. This includes Google Adwords, which can be pretty expensive, especially if you are learning it.

CarbonCopyPro does offer affiliate links in the back office that you can earn money from. This is where some of my cash flow is coming from. The rest is coming from my primary business. But again, I am an entrepreneur, which means I am focused on learning anything I can about business. This includes learning how to sell and effectively communicate with my prospects, as well as continuing to learn about marketing. As I learn, I also share with my business partners. This is because their success is my success.

This is the difference, again, between an opportunity seeker and an entrepreneur. If an opportunity seeker isn’t making big strides in his or her business, they usually have already moved on to another business opportunity only to make the same mistakes they made in their previous home business. Their choice to move on is based on their belief that it the business opportunity that brought about failure.

Opportunity seekers tend to place little blame on themselves. Usually, much of what is wrong in their business is blamed on outside forces;. Unfortunately, the reality is “you” or the business owner is the cause of your failures in a business. No one else. The cause could be not enough time was invested in learning the marketing methods or quitting too early, etc. But whatever the reason, there comes a point when one must question his or her failures and access why the lack of success. Again, an entrepreneur would have already done this and would have already taken action to fix the problem. Entrepreneurs are problem solvers, we know who to blame. We usually blame ourselves.

In order to be a successful entrepreneur, one needs to invest in themselves. Spend time just learning and not worry so much about how much money you are making and how many leads you are generating. Once the necessary skills are learned, the leads and money will follow. This is why I have spent, over the past year or so, just learning and not too much time worrying about where my business is. The knowledge and skills I acquire will be reflected in the results of my business.

CarbonCopyPro gives you all the trainings one will need in order to have success in their business. The key thing is to take the time to learn from the trainings and implement them. Carbon Copy Pro has both live trainings as well as video trainings. As you bring more leads to your site and as people start purchasing some of the various products in your back office, CarbonCopyPro has salereps who are skilled at closing many of these sales for you, thus allowing you to just focus on generating leads. This is why it is so important to learn how to market because without these skills, it will be very difficult to generate leads for your business.

In closing, I suggest that if you are a serious entrepreneur or you want to be a serious entrepreneur and you want a business opportunity that will give you the necessary trainings and support in order to build a successful business, visit:
