Ron Cross: April 26, 2009

The last couple of weeks have been amazing to say the least. I did in fact meet my deadline and I am now gainfully employed.
It has been a very interesting journey because I have met a lot of talented people that allowed me to expand my network in the process. I would like to thank everyone who wished me well and sent me emails and/or called me to give me a lead. It is amazing how we pull together in our times of need. Let me switch gears.
I also took this time to reassess my position and place in the workforce. I like the concept of being employed, but it is important that we have contingency plans should our great system of capitalism collapse and cause our economy to be on the brink of catastrophe again. It is vital to NEVER become complacent with just having a "good job" because the only thing that is certain is death and taxes. My journey has not concluded with my finding a new career opportunity. I am in the process of a renaissance so stay tuned and hopefully our paths will cross again.
Be Blessed,
Ron E. Cross

I just wanted to know if u would be Interested in www.zoegetics.com just look at it Invite as many people as you can. If you set a goal of signing one person a week and your team signs one person a week it will take 16 weeks to be at 60,000 a month based on only residual income THAT IS NOT THE ONLY INCOME. I also encourage everybody to read over the entire website. If you put a little work into it you will be very successful. I want to train all of you and you could do the same for your team. Think of your network (Family, Work, School, Sports Teams, Friends, Where you shop, Church, etc.). I also encourage everybody to get on all the webinars and training calls.
