Starting Out

11th August 2006

My name is John O'Driscoll and I live in Coventry, West Midlands in the United Kingdom. For the past 15 years I have been a Senior Manager for an International Examinations Board where I was responsible for the development of a team of over 100 and the accurate delivery of over 1 million candidate achievements per year. I loved my work but it came at a huge cost. It meant very long days and the small time I got to spend with my family I would usually be very tired and to be honest not much fun!!

So I made a life changing decision that I would resign and find a business that I could work around my family instead of wrapping them around my work schedule. I sat down and started to construct a criteria for the type of business I wanted to run. It had to:

• Have a low start up and ongoing cost
• Flexible enough for me to work it around my family (not them fitting around my busy schedule)
• Did not require me to fill my house full of products!
• Did not require me to be a salesman
• Would develop me as an individual
• Would provide an opportunity to improve other peoples well being
• Was simple to run
• Could be run from home without needing any specialist equipment
• Would allow me to work and interact with like minded people
• Had a payment structure that would allow me to earn 6 figures or more per annum

As you can see I didn't want much!! It was important for me to set this criteria as I knew once I started looking it would be easy to get lost in the masses of opportunities and slick sales copy that is out there.

I actually found Success University by accident on a property investment forum that I had started reading. I read about someone's experience with Success University and once I started to read about the opportunity I could start to see this was something I could work from home and ticked every box of my selection criteria. I started getting excited.

There is an option to join the program for FREE for 14 days and all you need to do is make a $2 donation to Feed The Children. I really liked that part as I could see I could promote this and it would have a positive impact on a charity that was close to my heart.

I decided to go straight for the premium option as I was serious about making this work. Not only did I get double the level of commissions on all my earnings but I aslo got over $800 in free bonuses for a one time investment of $149.95 - it was just a no brainer!

So I was in and straight away I was impressed, and a little overwhelmed, at the amount of information that I had at my fingertips. I knew I didn't want to get bogged down in things so I called my sponsor, Karen Leslie, and she explained how to run the business step by step and this really saved me days as it was very simple.

So my business is off the ground!!
