Hi, we're Rodney and Lisa, co-creators of Sky High Ventures, entrepreneurs and partners in a 17 year business adventure.
We're everyday people who just didn't want to do the 40 hour grind at a j-o-b. The reason that we originally got into business was because of how difficult it is to make ends meet in Hawaii. Basically the wages we were earning would not support us, at least not if wanted a place to live AND food to eat :)
We learned the fundamentals of business through experience and listening to others who had been there, done that. Our businesses are the vehicles that allow us time and freedom, to do what we want, when we want. To vacation where we want, for as long as we want.
We're here to meet, network, and give back by sharing with new online entrepreneurs what we've learned, and hopefully inspire others to "Dream Often, and Dream Big" as Rodney always says.
A little history: We both grew up on the Windward side of Oahu in Hawaii. Neither one of us came from money, we both had self-employed parents living on a strict budget.
We moved to Maui in 1990 and opened our first business. We spent the first 7 years struggling to make a profit. We opened another venture that went into bankruptcy and had tax trouble. We truly struggled to make a go of our businesses because we had no start up capital and were learning business as we went. It took a lot of persistence and we made a lot of mistakes.
When we struggled financially, it was miserable. We had a few years where every time we wrote a check, we'd cross our fingers and silently hope that we wouldn't get flagged on Tele-Check. In the past, we've probably bounced more checks, avoided more creditors, and had more of our utilities shut off than 90% of the population. We even got kicked out of a bank (not physically, but they closed our account and wouldn't reopen it). We had massive amounts of debt and had no idea how we were going to repay it, since we were living on our credit cards in the early years of doing our business.
Thanks to great advice and learning from other people's experience, it all turned out good. 17 years later, we are still profiting from those businesses and can wake up when we want, or choose to go to the beach instead of to work whenever we feel like it.
Lesson: Build a business that will keep paying you long after you put the work in.
We learned some simple things that have absolutely changed our bank account balances, the way we spend our time and our entire lifestyle.
LEVERAGE & DIVERSITY
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN: Some of the most important financial lessons we learned along the way were about diversity and leverage.
Leverage: Don't own a job. You must leverage your time or money. Employees can be leverage, we prefer business partners. We would never want to own a business that "owned us." Leverage is what allows us to be at the beach and still get paid. Leverage means that there's always someone or something out there earning you money, even while you sleep.
Diversity: Get positioned in several markets or industries. It's the old, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone needs multiple streams of income. The truly wealthy have many revenue streams and savvy people figure out ways to do the same thing.
A Shift in Thinking
About 6 years ago, a friend invited Rodney to presentation and Rodney went as a favor. We both had negative ideas and experiences with network marketing, and believed that it was a "pretend business" that was all about begging people to join the "opportunity." We didn't really believe that anyone made any money, until Rodney met Brad, who was the same age as him, but making close to a half million dollars a MONTH. We were intrigued.
We didn't join that particular company plan, but began investigating the industry of network marketing. We learned that it COULD be the most ethical business model around. We learned that we could help others change their financial futures. We learned that network marketing could outperform all of our successful traditional businesses put together. WOW!
Two years ago, we found a company that we believe will change the way the world communicates and the way business is done. We joined the company and flew through the ranks and have helped others along the way.
