Day 1 in the 100 days to $300,000 challenge

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If Kipling had written that on this laptop it would have gone something like this.......

If you can spend an hour polishing you first blog on here
Until you are happy with it
Only to press paste instead of copy and see it all lost
If you can realise that now wasnt the time to drink champagne
And wait until you have the money before you celebrate
If you can rub your eyes and start again without complaint
Then you, my son, might just make it in this business

So whats it all about?

This is part of the 100 day challenge set up by Tim Altvater (http://www.100daysto300k.com/) to show that you can earn up to $300,000 in 100 days in Network Marketing.

Tim Altvater is one of the most respected and succesful people in the network marketing world. he runs seminars all across America showing people how they can achieve their goals and run a successful home business. Tim has been one of the highest earners in this business for many years in a row and knows more than anyone what it takes to build a successful business.

We have just been chosen as one of 10 people in a team that Tim will take from more or less zero to the top of the organisation structure. One of the 10 will be earning in the region of $300,000.

It will be like an online Big Brother only more like Big money. Tim will update on his site and you can follow the progress there and on our Blog.

We first met Tim in January when we went to one of his seminars in Florida, since then we have tried to put his teachings into practice with varied success, some good months and some bad. Some highs and some lows.

This Blog will chart our success, or otherwise. We will also post about or personal life to show its not all work and no play :-)

This is the biggest news we could have heard, we have worked hard in this business and have made money from it. We have enjoyed amazing trips to Florida and the Deep south of America courtesy of our earnings but now we are about to hit it big time. If this challenge succeeds we will be able to give up work, it really is like winning the lottery (we were joking about the champagne at the beginning but we felt like celebrating - we can only blame Steves clumsy fingers for losing everything!!!)

So a little about us. We are Steve and Katie from the UK, as we were known to everyone on the Florida seminar. Steve is a Lawyer and Katie is a nutritionist. We live in Nottinghamshire with our cute dog Millie. We also share our time with Steves 15 year old daughter most weekends.

We are already planning how to spend the money, or more accurately how to spend our life. As another dull English summer comes to an end a home in California is very appealing. The Beauty of the business is we can run it anywhere in the world with just a phone and internet access. We definitely want to travel, we thought we would never be able to get off the mortgage treadmill long enough to be able to do that but now we can. We can also set a date for our dream wedding and pay for our family to join us.

The most important thing to both of us is our family, we are really excited at the prospect of being able to share it with them all, we are looking forward to our parents being able to give up work. We have a holiday every year with our family and we want to continue with that and treat them all to a holiday of a lifetime.

We are excited too about sharing this with our friends, giving them the chance to be able to earn enough to live their dreams too.

We will update this daily, some days will be more exciting than others.

If you want to know how you could share in this challenge and fulfill some of your dreams get in touch with us and either one of us or Tim will show you how you can be part of this.
