How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?

Don't remember how I first heard about Dan, but it has been some time now. He interviewed me for one of his podcasts and told my story in No More Mondays in a side bar. I hope to learn ways to increase my products exposure and increase sales. I'm 50 and have a paid for home and a small military retirement, but no savings. I need to fix that fast!

What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?

Self employed. Full time.

And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?

To not have to travel as much to homeschool conventions selling my recordings. I do love to do them, just not so many! If I can build up the download portion of my website, then maybe I won't have to travel so much. But I need more customers and am not sure how to get more people to sign up for my email list.

How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?

A deeper relationship with Christ and my wife.

What would you say are your core competencies? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?

Self motivated. Organized. Forward thinking. Creative.

Do you have a website presence anywhere?

If you have a product or service to promote (now or in the near future) this is your shot to state it! Say all you'd like:

I record, produce, and market audio books and compilations of Old Time Radio Programs. Each product teaches history in an entertaining fashion. I have products appropriate for all age groups, from age 5 up to adult. Many men enjoy the Henty historical novels and Old Time Radio Shows, and school aged children like them and the recordings designed for younger listeners. Most of my customers are home schoolers, but not all of them! I will soon announce the ability to download directly from the website listed above. Go to my website and sign up for my monthly specials!
