I finally told my boss to take this job and shove it...

Because Working for "THE MAN" Sucked

Atlanta, Georgia: Expert Marketing Coach, Cartess Ross reveals how he told his boss to "Take this job and shove it..." only to go back and beg for his job eight-weeks later. This is not one of those stories where someone quits their day job, starts their own business, and gets rich. Nope, not even close!

If you ever wanted to start your own business, then you should probably think twice! This entrepreneur reveals how difficult it really was to finally make his Internet dreams come true. Read on and learn how his car was repossessed twice; how all of his belongings were thrown into the streets; and see where he actually had to take showers each day... you're not going to believe it!

Dear Business Owner,

If you're struggling to make more money, or get more customers with your new or existing business, then we both have something very much in common. You see, many years ago, I was exactly where you are at right now! While in pursuit of the "American Dream", I lost everything... Not once, but twice!

But before I jump too far ahead, let me start at the beginning.

My name is Cartess Ross and I got fed up working for "THE MAN" back in January of 2000. (And for the record, when I say "THE MAN", I'm actually referencing the idea of working for someone else, other than yourself). I was already frustrated because no matter how many hours I worked, I never seemed to have enough money to pay my bills; let alone treat myself to a nice movie and dinner every now and again...

Anyhow, I ended up teaching myself how to design web sites and ended up building a web site that sold religious t-shirts. I didn't know much about marketing then as I do now, but I apparently built my web site very well because it got indexed by the major search engines fairly quickly. And right about that time, a new pay-per-click company by the name of Goto.com hit the scene (now called Overture/Yahoo).

I started making money fairly quickly and after a short while, I was making enough money to quit my job...or so I thought!

Mistake Number 1

Immediately after setting up my first web site, it was making a little over $2,000.00 per month within the first 90 days (this was gross sales, not profits). I figured I could grow the business quicker and make more money if I was at home working the business full-time. So I decided to quit my job. Instead of giving my boss a two-week notice, I told her to go jump in a lake.

Just kidding! This is how it really went down.

I walked into her office the next day and propped myself in her chair and threw my feet up on her desk. When she came around the corner and saw me sitting there, she was too shocked to say anything.

And with that, I took the opportunity to tell her the following...

"Since working here, I haven't been able to go fishing as often as I would have liked too; and on top of that, I've been struggling for a while trying to pay my bills on such a meager salary."

"And considering the fact I've been here for 2 years already, I just don't see how things will ever get better for me by working here. Therefore Ms. Murray, I've come to the conclusion that you all are taking up too much of my time and it's time for me to quit!"

Eight Weeks Later, I Was Begging For My Job Back

Talk about being shameless... I begged and begged and begged some more! And she eventually gave me my job back (I was a darn good employee when I was there, so that probably helped my case; and plus they were short-staffed already before I quit).

Why did I have to go back? Things didn't work out as well as anticipated. I was still a newbie on the Internet and hadn't been around long enough to recognize the 'trends' and 'patterns' of my business.

You see, I was selling a line of religious t-shirts and during the spring months, churches were buying in bulk for their fundraisers and mission trips (in other words, I was at the right place at the right time). Overall, business was doing great and thats why I quit.

Well, for me, everything came to a screeching halt right after I quit (it always seems to work out that way when you decide to do something). Sales slowed down and only later did I realize why. During the slow-down period, everybody was preparing for highschool and college graduations, people were planning their summer trips/vacations and people were just traveling all over the place.

Nobody was buying anything from me during that time. In addition to that, I was only using once source of advertising, which was foolish and as a result, everything just stopped for me. After only making a few dollars over the course of a few weeks, I had to go back and beg for my job.

I Quit 90 Days Later

While working at the job, I took advantage of the downtime and started studying books on Internet Marketing and one thing that caught my interests was the power of building an affiliate program.

Armed with the knowledge I learned from the books and online courses, I implemented an affiliate program into my t-shirt business and it proved to be a hit!

So when it came time to quit again, I decided to do it in such a way that they'd never take me back, should I come back begging.

Why? Because if I knew they wouldn't take me back, then I had to make this thing work. Without going into any details, that's exactly what I did!

I did have many more hardships in trying to make this thing work and I'll admit, it wasn't easy. It was extremely hardwork. I had relatives working for me who were stealing customer credit card information, I lost my merchant accounts, I was sued, evicted from my apartment and I had my cars repossessed (a couple of times to be honest).

It wasn't easy and if anybody tells you otherwise, they're lying. But, is it possible to sell millions of dollars worth of products and services online? Yes it is and I'll show you step-by-step how to do the same thing with your new or existing business!

When I got started, I had no mentor to show me the ropes. I had to learn on my own and when you do it that way, you make lots of mistakes. But in hindsight, I wouldn't change one thing! Because it was during this phase I was able to learn so much more from my mistakes, as well as my successes.

Now! Who do you think can best show you how too...

Take Your NEW or EXISTING Business

Within 90 Days, Your Business Will Be
Generating A Steady Flow of Cash andCustomers

I've helped many others grow their business and I can do the same for you. Let me take you by the hand for the next 90 days and show you step-by-step, how to build and grow your Internet business (or brick-and-mortar business too).

Here are some of the things we'll be working on together:

If you don't already know what you want to do, we'll spend a few days brainstorming (we'll start with your hobbies, talents and/or interests first).

We'll get a dot-com name picked out and registered. This is an extremely easy process, but many people are still intimidated by the thought of it.

I'll refer you to my contacts over in India who will build you a custom web site for less than $500 bucks - and I'm talking quality, for example, take a look at what $500 dollars can get you: click here The layout of your web site is very important and will determine how well your site sells.

Get setup to accept credit card payments from customers. And I'm talking about having more than just Paypal. When a customer calls you, you need to be ready to accept any and everything.

Once the site is built, we'll work together on getting the content right. This is important! Because how things are setup on the web site will determine whether customers buy from you.

Then we'll set up autoresponders that'll help generate targeted leads for you 24/7. Autoresponders are a series of e-mails that are automatically sent out to prospects at a pre-determined time. You write them once and when prospects sign-up to receive additional information, your autoresponder will pretty much do the selling for you. These are powerful!

I'll show you how to write articles and press releases that'll promote your products and services all over the Internet and it's FREE - and I'll assist you with this.

We'll setup Google Adwords and the other pay-per-click search engines in an effort to drive traffic to your web site almost immediately. Pay-Per-Clicks work extremely well. One of my clients spent an average of $1,500.00 per day on Google Adwords...you won't have to spend that much of course, but obviously, he was making big money, otherwise, who could afford $1,500 daily ($45,000 monthly), if the sales weren't converting?

If you already have customers, we'll get testimonials from them, including their photographs and audio testimonials. This also increases response and I'll show you how to get your customers to give us what we want (we might have to bribe them with a special incentive or free report).

We'll setup both online and offline marketing strategies for your product or service. If you have a business, it doesn't make sense to only have one source of advertising. Otherwise, if that source abruptly ends, you're out of business. We'll implement a variety of advertising systems to keep a steady flow of customers and cash coming in.

I'll show you how to get your product on the market to the right audience. Instead of trying to be all things to all people, we'll figure out who your ideal prospects are and we'll find them and put your marketing message right in front of them.

If You're Working For Someone Else Right Now, You
Could Be Walking Off Your Job Within the Next 6-12 Months

Start writing your own paychecks. Start waking up when YOUR body tells you it's time to wake-up! And finally, live the lifestyle you always dreamed of...

Within 90 days, I guarantee to have you making some serious money. Cut your learning curve in half and let me take you by the hand and work with you one-on-one with your new or existing project. Once the infrastructure and foundation has been set, you could easily be walking off your job within 6-12 months!

I would advise against leaving early like I did until you learn the trends and patterns in your business. Otherwise, you'll find yourself in a bind like I was.

For example...

My car was repossessed (this happened to me twice actually)
I was evicted from my apartment (my 2 kids were living with me)
My furniture was thrown out into the streets
I wore the same clothes 4 and 5 times during the week
There were days when I had no food and power (I showered at a local truck-stop)
And people laughed at me and called me 'stupid' because they thought I was chasing wild dreams and fantasies

As you can see, I've been through the trenches. I worked under stress (and hunger too). Nobody, and I mean nobody can't ever tell me it can't be done. I did it!

And don't ever let anybody else tell you it can't be done. Only people who couldn't do it themselves will tell you it can't be done. Don't listen to them!

Why would you take advice from someone who doesn't have what you want? If your cousin doesn't even have his own business, don't listen to him or her when they tell you to wise up.

Before I go on, let me be real clear on something...

You'll never accomplish your goals using the same methods as everyone else! You must make changes and do things differently, and I can't stress that enough. If you continue doing what you've always done, you'll continue to get what you've always gotten!

My personal coaching program Is The BEST and MOST VALUABLE Money-making Program Exclusively Designed For Those Wanting to Start or Grow Their Existing Business!

I guarantee that within 90-Days, your new or existing business WILL be making money! And I'm not talking about a few measley dollars either.

Instead of trying to bribe you and pump you all up, I'm just going to leave it at this.

Only YOU can make the decision as to whether or not you're ready to make a financial change in your life. Only YOU can decide whether or not you're ready to try something new and different to get your business to the next level.

I guarantee my results, therefore, there is absolutely no risk on your part. You have absolutely nothing to lose. If I don't do what I say, then I'll pay you back every last penny!

All I ask is that you make an investment in yourself. And that investment is guaranteed to pay you back many times over. Invest just $1787.00 $1375 each month for the next 3 monts. My goal is to simply get you off to an excellent start and to a point where your business is generating a steady stream of income so you can continue to grow.

With a GUARANTEE Like This, How Could You Possbily Lose?
