Hey! I'm Mari Ann Lisenbe
and I'll never go back to "Corporate Life"!
Read on, and you'll understand why!
www.RejectionFreeMkt.com
If you got to this page, and you're anything like me, you've learned that Corporate America can be disappointing (can anyone say "laid off"?). That's why I'm now passionate about teaching others the importance of regaining control of their own financial future - like I did when I went from "Corporate Reject" to becoming financially independent while working from home!
Actually, that's why I created this myspace page in the first place. To help give HOPE to those talented entrepreneurs who realize that corporate America is NOT the way to go. But, who may be discouraged in their attempts to reach THEIR DREAM because they are not getting the kind of support they need to be successful.
(Whoa, WAIT, first things first... If you are wanting to learn who I am, but you're one of those kind of people who have your music turned off... this will NEVER work! Music is integral to my being. So, if you really want to get a good flavor of who I am,
STOP.... find the volume control on your compter and turn UP your speakers. Now, let's begin....)
hmmm... where do I start?
Native Texan - through & through
I'm a wife, mom and entrepreneur all rolled into one. I'm also a spirit-filled Christian, and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet ;-)
On a personal note, I grew up on a farm just outside the 4th largest city in the U.S. So, I'm equally at ease in a Corporate Board meeting -- or milking a goat! Actually, I prefer the goats - less manure involved ;-)
My husband and I were high school sweethearts, have been married for 32 years, and have 2 grown sons. And they are ALL musicians!
Steve Lisenbe and the the 71's
So music is instrumental (sorry) in my life. In fact, Steve & I led worship at a large church for about 15 years.
After our second child was born, I went back to college and got a BS degree in Computer Science, then found a "secure" job in Corporate America.
During the following 15 years I spent at Hewitt Associates, a huge paradigm shift occurred. Companies were no longer loyal to their workers and the global economy made outsourcing commonplace.
The Slap
In 2003, I became one of the casualties of this shift... my software job is now somewhere in India. Talk about a slap in the face. After 15 years of being told how great I was and being made to feel indisposable... I was suddenly, disposed!
Being a Fortune 500 company, Hewitt did give me a tidy little severance package, which helped, but my spirit was severely wounded. Of course, there was a time of embarrassment... many of you reading this will understand. I was raised to believe that the only way to really be successful was to get a college education and go to work for a good company, and I had done that. And now, after working for that company for 50-60 hrs/week for 15 years, I was laid off!.**POOF** So much for company loyalty!
However, I now have no regrets because it helped formed me into who I am today - Someone who is determined to be in charge of my own destiny. Someone who finally "gets it"!
Since I love computers, and I knew I was now "psychologically unemployable", I turned to the internet -- resolved to learn internet marketing.The New Wave
And, that's where I saw the HUGE paradigm shift that was occurring. Programs that used to take years to develop were being replace by the "Get Paid Today" business model. Advertising methods that had previously worked had become too expensive, favored those who had gotten in early, and actually were being replaced by new, innovative ways to advertise!
And, I found it... The perfect fit for me.
Actually, I found two things, not one.
One day, I was watching a video by a guy named Dennis Karganilla with MLM Goldmine. On the video, Dennis mentioned he was under the weather, and asked anyone listening to send him a bottle of one of those “juice productsâ€.
Being a true believer in the health benefits of nutritionals, I sent Dennis a bottle. I didn't send Dennis this just to get something back... I sent it because I truly care, but the "Law of Reciprocity" is what it is. Now I’m a founding member of the MLMGoldmine team!
Dennis' web 2.0 training and mentoring program is unlike anything I'd ever been exposed to.
The "New Wave" marketing methods I've learned from Dennis... using "my story" marketing, web 2.0 and other secret strategies... have literally turned my businesses around.
Now, I'm the Expert
The area of video and web2.0 marketing is expanding exponentially. I recognized that trend, and jumped on. Now, in a matter of a few short months, I've become recognized as one of the leaders in this type of marketing!
If you want to get instant access to some FREE video trainings that will get you started marketing like I do, simply hop on over to my buddy's website...
OK, Now, back to my story... about how I was finally able to replace the Corporate salary -- guaranteeing I would NEVER have to sit in a cubicle again...
Just about the time I met Dennis, I also happened to read Mike Dillard's Coffeehouse Letter , and became affiliated with a top-tier program – making $1000 or more a pop + residual and I have now exceeded my corporate income! All from the comfort of my OWN home, on my OWN terms!
