HiMy name is Andrew and I am a 57 year old Scot now living permanently in Spain. The passion I have to help others grow and be even more successful is the driving force behind creating this blog.My Background
How It All StartedDuring my first career in Information Technology, with Hewlett Packard, we were encouraged to take an active role and contribute to the local community. I was asked to build on the voluntary work I was already doing and help people, in both the public and commercial sectors, achieve their goals.I knew from an early age that I had a passion for helping others and, at this point in time, that passion was being fulfilled…
- I was a counsellor to people who were experiencing severe personal difficulties
- While chairperson of the local PTA, within 2 years we raised the annual income from around 1500 dollars to over 20,000 dollars
- Following our daughter’s life threatening illness, my wife and I became members of the local Meningitis charity - I was asked to develop the business plan and, over time, we were able to take the annual donations of a few thousand dollars into millions.
While I was happily managing my team and contributing to the local community, I was having dinner at what was to be my last I.T. conference in Palo Alto, California when a colleague and fellow I.T. manager leaned over and spoke the words that would change my life forever…
“You’re not an IT Manager - you have more to offer.”This is when I decided that I wanted to help more people pursue their goals. This was a major decision given my ‘comfortable’ career. In order to help people, I set up my own company and provided workshops and seminars in planning, problem solving, continuous improvement, personal development and life long learning. I really enjoyed working for myself.After 20+ years of experience, I realized that I had a true passion to help and inspire others to accomplish their goals. And this is when I decided that I wanted to become an Internet coach, so that I could help people from all over the world – people who have a dream, a strong desire to work from home and want the freedom.
A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline
From Harvey MackeySome of the Challenges I faced…Setting up an online business was not as easy as I thought. I had to learn a lot about Internet Marketing, get familiar with how the Internet World works… it took at lot of time, energy and money before I was able to understand how it all worked.I still had a growing concern about the best hosting, search engine optimization, ranking, and everything else that goes with authoring and maintaining a successful online business.I realized I needed real guidance, starting at the beginning with just my raw idea, a step by step plan - what to do and when to do it, and without the need to concern myself with all the other ‘technicalities’ involved.
This is when a colleague suggested I give “Site Build It” a try.
Site Build It! overcomes the barriers that finally put off 99% of all who try to build an online business. It provides all the guidance, the information, strategies and tools you need to progress from brainstorming your original idea to developing solid content loved by search engines to building and increasing traffic, through PREselling to the final step… multiple Monetization sources.No matter what your business is, a Web site without traffic is pointless. Site Build It (SBI!) builds a site with a point… thousands and thousands of targeted visitors. That’s what makes SBI! absolutely unique to the Internet.
I am so glad I listened to that colleague, so glad I listened to SBI! and followed their guidance, their plan as I now have websites that are well into the top 1% of all sites on the internet.
