Do a quick search at Google for “home based business” and you’ll get 136,000,000 results!  That’s pretty incredible.

More and more people every day are looking for a way to earn money outside of their regular paid job. No, I’m not going to use the tired old acronym Just Over Broke. Pretty much everybody out there who is generating an income through a home-based business got their start in their spare time while their J.O.B. paid their expenses. Many continued to work their J.O.B. while they also ran their home-based business until they got out of debt and had a little cushion in the bank before “firing their boss” (yet another cliche).

Well, I’ll be honest with you. I’m just like you. I’m not a guru. I’m not famous. I’m not even a successful on-line marketer — yet.

You’re probably wondering who I am and why you should even care that I have a blog on building wealth. Here’s a little bit about me.

I’m an honest, hard-working, single parent. I have been up to my eyeballs in debt, and trying to do something on the internet for a few years now. What I’ve managed to do is run up my credit cards and trash my credit rating chasing one bright, shiny object after another.

The thing is, I even love my job. I have a great time, and what I have learned through the school of hard knocks in my failed home businesses, I have been able to use to benefit my boss at my day job. In addition to my regular work, I get to play on the internet every day… blogging, tweeting, facebooking, listening to great teleseminars and webinars, and increasing my knowledge base.

Even though I have heard and seen lots of promising ideas on how to generate an income for myself personally, I guess I just haven’t found the right niche or system yet.

So, why blog about building wealth? Because I know that it’s only a matter of time before I do find the right combination. And, I thought what better way to help others than to journal about my experiences live on the internet. Maybe I can help you learn from my failures and successes and save you some time, money and aggravation.

As I try different systems, I will blog about my experiences here. Now, having said that, of course everyone is different. Maybe you can be extremely successful with a system that I wasn’t able to get off the ground. And maybe something I get going just won’t “click” for you.

I’ll report on the good, the bad and the ugly from my perspective. You can take it with a grain of salt, or take it at face value. If you have any questions about anything I post, please feel free to ask. I will respond to every legitimate post on my blog, or email in my inbox. But, please don’t spam me with your home business, internet, money making opportunities. If you have a genuine question about an opportunity out there, feel free to ask, I may have tried it and I may have an opinion. But, don’t try to get me to buy into your opportunity. That’s not the way I roll.

So, fasten your seat belts, here we go!
