The Worst Day Working.......

I have this alter ego that actually has to work every day at his business. It's not golf, too bad because my alter ego's passion is golf. But my alter ego, AE for short does play golf about 3 - 4 times a week. AE gets a little testy because that other stuff in his life gets in the way of golf.

We only have a short golf season here in Colorado, about 8 months. I know many a die-hard play all year here, but AE's body just can't take walking around in 20 degree weather hitting a golf ball that feels like concrete. So 8 months is what we try to get in.

AE's primary source of income is a Consumer Direct Marketing business (sometimes, erroneously referred to as network marketing) which is another of his passions. It took me, a  normal, conservative, middle America golfer to finally get my head wrapped around this Consumer Direct Marketing stuff. After a little research, it turns out that it really pretty cool.

Donald Trump does it, Warren Buffet does it, Donnie Osmond does it, Tom Peters author of "In Search of Excellence" says more millionaires will be made in network marketing than any other business sector this decade. AE says it is one of several revenue strings or passive income strings we all need to become financially free.

He works his business everywhere he goes. Golf course, Starbucks, seminars, meetings, grocery stores and online. He makes phone calls to all of his business associates and prospects, never just an email hoping to get a response. He is passionate about helping others build a lifetime of recession proof income that is inheritable by his children and grand children.

This type of business allows him to play golf (his passion) at least 3 times a week and sometimes more. That doesn't count his practice days. Which is everyday. He has a forty yard pitching area in his backyard and a living room carpet that putts at an 11 on the stimp meter. So there must be something to this networking , oops, consumer direct marketing business.

It also represents the most successful "Green" company in the industry. Almost a billion dollars in revenue last year  and debt free. When people say "oh that's a pyramid" he just laughs.

So what does this have to do with golf? It's his passion and Live Total Wellness / Work At Home United enable him to play a lot of golf. So, do you play a lot of golf? Or do you wish you could? My AE can show you. See how at http://www.chrisbayes.com/, opt in and he'll get right back to you.
I am a middle-aged golfer that loves the game. I take lessons, practice, practice, travel to far away places and play whenever possible.
