Hello and Welcome to my page...

My name is Ron Corbin and This is my Story of how I got out of a business that sucked away all my time and creative energy and into my own Internet based businesses that give me all the time freedom I desire with my family plus an income with no limits.
By creating this MySpace profile I hope to meet, network, and give back to other entrepreneurs who are in the same situation as I was and hopefully my story can help inspire you to discover a better alternative; just like I did when I started working from home F/T, being my own boss, making money online and offline.
I Primarily work in three areas – Network Marketing, Top-Tier Internet Marketing, and Real Estate.
But before I get into all of that…..let me just tell you a little bit more about
myself….
I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. It's a great place to live – an hour or so from the mountains for hiking and camping and only 4 hours from the coast. I've never lived anywhere else and will probably always consider Atlanta my home-base. With the success on my business I've been considering what life will be like living in multiple cities in different countries at different times of the year. That sounds exciting to me. And I know it will be a fantastic experience for my family.
Speaking of my family, I have a wonderful wife two boys 11 and 14, and a daughter 18.
I love outdoor activities like hiking, camping, kayaking, and climbing. I've been para-gliding and sky diving in Siberia and I absolutely love adventure travel. I just love visiting the many friends I have in other countries. I find the best way to get to know a country is to visit a friend and see their world the way they experience it. I don't do group tours. My strongest desire now is to travel the world with my family and enjoy our time together.

I've been building businesses since I was a kid – it's in my blood. I grew up in my family's propane gas business. I know, don't say it - “Ron sold Propane...and Propane accessories. Just like Hank Hill on “King of the Hill.” Anyway, my first venture into the world of capitalism began when I was around 11. I used the family lawn mower and cut yards in my neighborhood for $7US each. Not much, I know – but it gave some spending money and I could buy some of the cool stuff I wanted. I did a really good job – I mowed, I raked, I edged, - very professional for an 11 year old. A couple summers later and I had moved up to sealing the roofs of the other trailers in the park (yes, we lived in a trailer park, my father poured all our extra money into building the gas business) and getting $80 a pop. I was in the big money then, hehe. Of course, I was also working in our family business each summer (for no pay I might add). I guess the child labor police never learned of our enforced slavery.
During High School I decided that I wanted to become a dentist. Why a dentist? I'm not really sure. I guess it looked like a pretty good gig. No manual labor and pretty decent money. Well, after a brief stint shadowing a local dentist in his office I realized very quickly that dentistry was not for me. No offense – I just knew that hovering over the open mouths of a dozen or more people each day; trapped in a little office; working 60+ hours each week; and only making money when I was drilling and filling was certainly not for me.
I knew I needed more freedom and the family business was looking better and better. So, after a brief career in college (almost a year) , I officially became a gasman – Only, this time for pay. I worked in the business for 23 years. All the while, starting additional businesses along the way including a retail trampoline business and an irrigation contracting business. I made a good living: nice house, cars, savings, and something my kids called;The Magic Wallet.” because it never ran out of cash. But, in 2005 I realized that what I had created controlled me. I couldn't leave it – just like the dentist I worked with 25 years ago – I was tied to my business. Sure I could come and go as I wished during the the day – but I couldn't leave the business for more than 10 days at a time. My business owned me. And what was worse; My income was limited to how far I could send a truck to fill a tank. I knew I needed to find businesses that had no limitations on their growth and that is when I turned to the Internet.
At that same time I began rereading a book by Robert Allen titled Multiple Streams of Income. I had read it years ago but thought I would pull it off the shelf and look for something that could give me the time freedom that I now desired. Midway through the book I came upon the section on Network Marketing. I almost skipped it believing that after 23 years in business and being approached by virtually every MLM in the industry – I knew all I wanted to know about Network Marketing. I even joined a company back in the 90's with my brother ($6,000 in air purifiers that didn't sell left a bad taste in my mouth) . After reading the chapter, I realized that I had just seen the wrong companies. Allen described exactly what to look for when selecting a Network Marketing company to ensure the greatest possibility of success. So I thought to myself, “This just might be what I looking for – a business that I can build from anywhere I choose to be, no limitations on my income, something I can build together with my family – it sounds perfect but...which one? Robert Allen says you need a company that meets three criteria
1) Product – the product must be consumable and must have a huge expanding market.
2) Compensation Plan – Stay away from the old and tired plans of the past used by industry giants like Amway, Shakley, and Nu-Skin and look for a newer, more equitable, simpler plan like a unilevel or binary ( better yet, a hybrid of the two).
3) Right Company and Management Team – most companies fail within the first 18 months of business. You want to make sure the company you choose has been around a while, is financially strong, and has a management team with a proven track record of success.
It took weeks of online searching but I found the company that fit all of Allen's criteria and better yet – fit me. In addition to a great product, lucrative pay plan and proven track record; the company I found has created an amazing humanitarian project called The MORE Project. I am fortunate enough to be on the advisory panel and can experience first hand the wonderful things humans can do when we work together for a common purpose.
During this same time I began my journey into the world of Internet Marketing. Oh my God, what a jungle that is. I can't tell you how many tens of thousands of dollars I spent. I must have purchased every big name guru's package and joined countless membership groups, all promising to make me the “Next Internet Millionaire”. Nothing seemed to work as promised and I began to notice something. I began to realize that most of these guys were teaching one thing but doing something entirely different to make their money. All of them had one thing in common – They had Created a “Personal Brand.” People were attracted to them because they related to their story. These guys created a huge following of people that knew them, liked them, and trusted them enough to buy their stuff. I knew that if I was going to make any money on the internet – I would need to create my own “personal brand” – The Ron Corbin brand. But how? Which marketing methods should I use? Adwords? That was a money pit. Classified and solo ads? What a joke, even more money wasted. Craiglist? Man, are they touchy or what? It seemed like every competitor I had would search out my ad and flag it – never to be seen again. And I was posting dozens each day. Not exactly the passive income I was looking for.
Then it hit me -VIDEO!!!!!! Subscribe to YouTube :: Tag // rcorbin355 by Email I had been watching YouTube since 2005 and it was creating YouTube celebrities.
YouTube was exploding and I can post my very own videos there for free. And I think we can all agree -Free Is Good!
So that's my passion now – Learning everything I can about Web 2.0 and Social Networking and applying it to my other businesses for massive exposure. Then taking the knowledge I gain and passing it along to other entrepreneurs so they will not have to go through the lost time and huge expense I have. I want to help others kick start their lives so that they can begin creating the life they really want to live – like me. I gotta tell you – living a laptop lifestyle is pretty cool. I used to think that working from home is what I wanted . But after a few months of that I realized I needed to get out. I have a friend who makes a million dollar plus income but he never leaves his home. He's tied to his phone. That's not for me.
Now I have offices throughout the town where I live. On Monday it's the Starbucks in Stockbridge, Tuesday it's the Caribou Coffee in Morrow, Wednesday it's Coffee Clutch in McDonough – My office is anywhere I can connect my laptop to the internet. Anywhere in the world!! It can be the same for you.
Imagine living life on your terms – no boss, no set hours, no silly two week vacation. Begin living life on purpose. Begin living like we were created to live.

I'm not selling any course or coaching program.
My promise to you is simple. I will share with you what I learn about using the internet, network marketing and real estate to generate an income from anywhere I choose to be. I will hold nothing back – you will get everything I have to give. Fair enough? I believe that I have a lot to share, to teach. I recently began finding lessons in virtually everything I read, listen to, and watch. It's like my eyes have been opened to a higher consciousness (ok, that may be a little over the top coming from a former gas man, but it's how I feel) .So when I am reading a book, listening to music, or watching a movie and something hits me; I will record my thoughts in video and post them to YouTube. I'm no philosopher so it will probably be nothing earth
shattering – but it might just make you think about something differently or even help you understand something better. If that happens, shoot me an email or give me a call:

I'd like to hear from you. First let me just share with you who I *DON'T* want to meet.
I don't want to meet negative people:
No Whiners
No complainers
No Mean People
No Excuse Makers
Why?
I simply do not have room in my life for negativity. I am a giving person by nature and I learned that the more I pour into negative people – the more they demanded. The harder I worked for them, the less they did to build their own life (or business) . It was like I wanted success for them more than they wanted it. It is too painful for me. They are like social vampires human black holes. It's just too draining and it takes away the energy that I can spend with the good people the people I love to be around. That's why, if you're not someone who is *SERIOUS* about success...then please don't add me as your friend because there's not much to build a relationship upon.
So then... who do I really want to meet? Very likely it is YOU. If you have read this far, I already know there is a connection. If, like me, you have a burning desire to succeed and are committed to make it happen... If you are willing to learn and follow a proven method of success... If you have a love of personal growth and development...
If you have had some level of success and know that you are just tapping the surface... Then let's get together. Let's begin creating the life you really want to live. MY STUFF View My Pics View My Blog Message Me Add Me Add to Group Forward Favorites Block Rate
