I was an REO (foreclosure) agent that was running 16 hours a day. After my third to last surgery in '08 I no longer had the energy I did before but got bored lying around so here I am.

Shot some porn in '02 but the group of us had issues back then ... in short was part of the entourage of a rich guy who started a porn company but we partied more than anything. Profit was never a motivator; having fun was.

First online business was loan lead generation. My partners worked directly with a bunch of banks and we'd post non-exclusive leads directly to their servers and then invoice them and get paid. That dried up and they now do the same thing for bankruptcy lawyers but I'm not around for that. I didn't make much because they provided the relationships and platform but I had to do everything else. I was working full-time at the time and was barely making enough to support myself so there wasn't much left over to invest in the business. They made and are making a killing though.

I never have a plan until after I start something and it works. I'm one of those throw it against the wall and see if it sticks types. Throw enough and something will stick. I rely a lot on intuition and luck and it seems to work well enough for me.

I wanted to be in this industry since I was 16, which was the mid-90's. I cannot help but to think how much I could have done if I started when I wanted to.
