This is copy-paste from a Leadersclub - Mastermind forum post.

>>>
Well, as part of my Individualized Success Plan (ISP) - Week 1.  I need to post some information about why I joined Leadersclub, and what my plans are for the next 90 days.

I joined Leadersclub over a year ago, since it was part of a program list that my sponsor was using for network marketing business building and training.  At the time I already knew about Leadersclub from someone introducing it to me years before.

Once I first started to explore what Leadersclub had to offer, I was amazed to see all of the audios which were available for download or to listen to online.  That is part of what has kept me active for so long, by listening to the training I have been able to keep my interest high and also provides daily inspiration when needed.

I started the ISP process recently and still am in the first week of assignments.  My plans for the next 90 days are to start using prospecting & sales more as separate steps, rather than trying to sell everyone when I first contact them.  At the end of the 90 days, I will have a better understanding of the entire sales process, and will be able to sponsor more people into my business with less hassle and with better results.

I have had a few people ask me what is Lazy Mountain Information?

To answer that, here is a little history about my network marketing career.  About 7 years ago I moved to Alaska, to work at a computer job my buddy offered me.  Since I was not working at the time, I said why not and made the decision to accept his offer.  So I packed up my bags, got rid of 90% of my accumulated junk, loaded my Honda Accord with all of my possessions, and started driving from Michigan to Alaska.

Once in Alaska, I started to feel the financial stress from what happens when you have been unemployed for any length of time, combined with the lack of savings, escalated by how much debt I had created.

Since Alaska was a new town for me, I had too much time on my hands and started using the internet to keep me busy, with online gaming and email communication to my friends back home in Michigan.

During that time I started seeing all of these SPAM email ads for online businesses.  After checking out a few of them, and seeing other banners on search engines, I decided that I could do this.  So I joined one or two programs which seemed to be a good fit.

Most of my business training from college always talked about companies and their names, so I started thinking of names that I could use for myself as a virtual identity.  Then I fell into the Alaska name trap.

So many business names up there are Talkeetna this, and Denali that, with Alaska plumbing, etc.  Since I lived in Palmer, Alaska, at the base of Lazy Mountain.  I decided to call my new online world, Lazy Mountain Information.

After 2 wonderful years in Alaska, I had to pack up my stuff and drive back to Michigan.  I guess my underlying thoughts were about being homeless, and decided that living in my parents basement in Michigan, was better than no options in the Alaska wilderness.

Now I get to share my wisdom over the last 41 years, 17 of those spent in the corporate world working with computers, 4 of them at Northern Michigan University, and the last 7 trying to make my mark in the network marketing industry.

Not that it will take everyone 7 years to build their own network marketing business.  My efforts were interrupted many times by unemployment, new jobs, new places, frustration, and different levels of chaos.

Now here we are on this blog site, and I welcome you to share in my experience, to help you build your own network marketing business.
