Hi my name is Julie. I'm the owner and creator of the JEWEL system for earning extra money online.
www.a1000jewels.com
I have tried so many different ways to make money over the last few years - and none of them worked for me.
What was even more depressing (annoying!) was that I was working with some of the best in the industry and while they were making heaps - using the same system - I made very few sales.
I then came to a realisation (yes - it took me a while folks!).
I wasn't willing to use hype and BS to mislead people!
Now don't get me wrong, some of the people I worked with are fabulous marketers and don't mislead people intentionally - but if ever I see an ad saying "wow look I earned x number of dollars in x number of days" it always makes me want to ask:
a) How many people did you already have on your list?
b) How much money did you spend on advertising?
c) How many people do you already have in your downline?
So why am I here?
I want to meet, network and give back to other business owners (or people who want their own online business) who find themselves in a situation similar to mine where they want to (or like me have to!) work from home and have tried so many different ways - including MLM, network marketing, affiliate marketing, adwords and all the other stuff that is out there.
Which ones make money?
Let me share a secret with you, I have tried so many different ways to lose money!
Businesses that not only don't make any money - but they don't actually cover their costs each month!
Just imagine - I'm a business coach?
I'm not kidding - I am a fully qualified "traditional" business coach, trainer and mentor and I have a background in IT - and I couldn't get my online business to work!
It doesn't have to be like that - luckily....
Hopefully my story can help inspire you to discover the secret to online business success, just like I did. But before I get into all that, let me just tell you a little bit more about myself.
What do I know?
I started originally in IT many years ago - when computers filled rooms and were less powerful than the one you are using to look at this page!!
I worked for a long time with ATM/EFTPOS systems for big banks but it became more and more difficult to work full-time at a “job†with Christopher. Quite frequently he has to take extended periods away from school (he goes to a wonderful special school) - either because he is not well, or because there is something highly contagious at school. For example, last year, he was off school for 14 weeks straight. There aren't many employers who can accept that!
What could I do?
So I began my own business over a decade ago working with small business owners - helping them learn how to use a computer within their business - you know, using Microsoft Word or email. I spent lots of time and money getting formal qualifications in small business management and now am also a fully qualified trainer.
Own your own business - that's great?
Even though having my own "traditional" business was great, it was just a start - it is just like having a more "flexible" job. I still only get paid for hours that I work. And - I still had the problem where I had to continually cancel appointments because Christopher was off school.
...that's not good enough!
What I want - and what I assume you want to - is to get wealthy - both in time as well as money. The time part is really, really important - because I also assume you want to be healthy (i.e. stress-free) and happy - maybe spend more time with your loved ones - or like me - go fishing a lot!
What...Yanik Silver, Rich Schefren, Eben Pagan, Mike Dillard, Ewen Chia, Dennis Karganilla - you're joking right???
With names like that, are you sure they know what they are doing?!
As it turns out, they do - and they each have something to add to the pot. Let me explain what I mean - if I am going to cook dinner - I don't cook three recipes using minced beef - I cook three separate dishes that work brilliantly together - maybe a (pumpkin soup) Mike Dillard entree, (seafood) Ewen Chia main course - and a superb (chocolate) DK dessert!
Each of these guys bring different perspectives, skills and methods to producing a wonderful dinner - a long-lasting, lucrative online business.
It's true - I can't stress this enough - learning from the best and using strategies from each - that work together - gives you the ultimate result!
Business in the modern age - work from home?
Instead of working my "traditional" business, I am building a global online business with tools provided by the best of the best! Now I have the ultimate pleasure - I share what I do with people all over the world.

Finally this is how it is supposed to work!
It is absolutely fantastic to finally see the principles I have always believed in working so brilliantly - and the internet now lets us connect with people globally. How cool is it that we can talk with someone in London or America - or just down the road in Melbourne - all FREE using Skype!
2008 is the year for the great! - make use of it - step up and make it happen!
Wishing you wealth, health & happiness!
Julie
