I want to share as much information as I can so others too may be inspired to take action and grab the chance to become successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My family is currently in a financial mess. We&#39;re buried in a mountain of debt. So deep, that I sometimes can&#39;t see clearly the end of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was nearly five years ago that I started taking a different step to remedy our problem. Basically, I just got fed up with banks and creditors hounding us every minute of the day. A side of the financial world that you wouldn&#39;t want to mess with. They can get pretty resourceful, you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, what did I do back then? I started my own part-time business! I was working for a big IT firm here in the Philippines and was earning a decent pay (if you are single, that is). Honestly, it was a bold step back then since I did not have any experience running &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;my own&lt;/span&gt; business. But the timing couldn&#39;t have been better. I was really looking for a way out of our dilemma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The business is about anti-aging. Yes, folks. You read it right. From IT to anti-aging. From programmer to makeover. Hehe :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that&#39;s why I am here now. I figured that if I was to be successful, I need to be willing to do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. To really commit myself since I am doing this for my loved ones and not for my ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Stay tuned!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t forget to bookmark this site and to &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/MySpaBusiness&quot; rel=&quot;alternate&quot; type=&quot;application/rss+xml&quot;&gt;subscribe&lt;/a&gt; to my posts to receive regular updates.</description><link>http://myspabusiness.blogspot.com/2008/10/about-me.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwJpV6oJ8qCu0ju9prRM84oQ-Ed7EiGO6XGZ84KAMSnZnbX9axIC95hf6ctH0rUqJjCPq1UuVIPkepxiKUhuM_mWEfAaOJVd4Am-gQOcvBcEBb52toQ1-9gTKWfftx50pD35SpxN-fxU/s72-c/formal.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
