I was born and raised in beautiful Athens, Greece. Came to USA with my parents and younger brother when I was 17 years old. Went to school where I was pushed back a grade, and for the first month I felt like a brick...nothing coming in...nothing going out...but I was listening and absorbing like a sponge, because I had the thirst to learn, and within a short period of 9 months, I was able to fluently speak a language that never before existed for me.
I put myself thru college earning a business degree, and working in a management position for a company for the past 21 years, until last year 2012, when they decided to close the doors and move to another state.
At this point of my life I decided to start my own little painting business and not work for someone else ever again.
Another one of my interests is online marketing, which I have been exploring for quite sometime now, but never found anyone, other than a lot of gimmicks out there to buy their products and learn how to become rich..............until I came across WA, that teaches you the very different aspects of online marketing, and their effort that went behind all this to teach and guide new people on how to do it right and prosper from their efforts.
I am very excited that I have found WA, after such a long journey, trying to find a way or the education that would allow me to learn and earn in time, an income online, instead the 9-5 grind making money for someone else.
I do consider myself a student at all times, having an open mind, and always welcome learning new things, that would help me improve myself, and the quality of my life as an individual, and also be able to give back to others that are looking to improve their life and self!
My Motto:
Free Your Mind....Free Yourself!

What a headache about your company moving after all the work and time you spent with them? This is a common story here in the UK! Wishing you much success moving forward online and lots of luck :)

Thanks for the follow! You motto is so true. I believe that people are sometimes imprisoned by there perception. The only way to free yourself is to allow for the expansion of your perception and then you will be free from the prison of your mind.

Hey there thank you for the follow. What a strange thing that you had to leave your job after 21 years and doesn't matter how much of a shock it must have been at the time it was possible one of the best things that happened:) Bet it feels nice being your own boss after all that time!

Hi Greti,
It was a shock for a lot of people to find out the doors were closing...yes....but for some like me, was a blessing getting out of the 9-5 grind, and being able to start over. Nothing scary...just took a leap of faith, and thank God all is working well.
Thank you for your kind words, much success to you as well!!!
Keep in touch.

Hello Marta,
It seems that our back rounds are in ways similar, and more similar in looking for opportunities to become financially independent, and not have to work for someone else.
I'm not that seasoned here either, but learning as much as I can.
If I can help in any way, the door is open.
Where are you living now?
