Soldier Medic Doubles Monthly Income with Part Time Business Venture7 July 2006
Sergeant First Class Wallace B. Carmichael was first introduced to the concept of working from home while stationed in Germany as a Combat Medic. Listen in as he talks about the trials and hardships he has endured over the last 10 years to now where his part time income almost doubles that of his full time active duty pay. “It has been my dream for many years to have my own business” says Wallace, he prefers Wally. This was the case for two basic reasons. First and foremost and still stands true today, he loves his family and wants to spend as much time as he can with them. Since he is an active duty Army Medic and has been for just over 16 years he has spent more time away from his family that with them. One day, when he was home with my wife Trayce, they started talking about how little time they had actually been together in, at that time, seven years of marriage. What they realized that day was after taking into account all the deployments, training exercises and schools Wally had been away on, six months here and three months there, they had actually been together just under three years. So basically Trayce was a single mother. Now there are many single parents in the world and it is hard enough when that parent is in a place she or he is familiar with, but at that time Wally and Trayce was living in Germany. Trayce is used to being surrounded by family when she is home in Panama City, Panama (Central America). But there she was raising their son alone, worrying about Wally who was away in some other part of the world and missing her family like crazy. It is no wonder the Carmichael’s phone bill during those times was never less than $500 a month. The second reason Wally was searching for a business compatible with his lifestyle is very simple; he simply wanted a business he could call his own. “I really did not care what kind of business it was, as long as I could call it my own.” So about 10 years ago Wally started looking into and trying various business models. He looking into franchises but there was no way he could afford a franchise and no one was going to finance him while he was already in debt up to his ears. Besides, there was no way he could start such a business while he was constantly traveling the world with the Army. One day Wally was walking through the Base Exchange (BX) when he was approached Mike Downey, who Wally later learned was a Military Police Officer (MP) on Active Duty. But this day Mike was out prospecting for “sharp looking” people to recruit into his M*L*M business. He asked Wally a few “qualifying questions”, a technique Wally would later learn and use often. He got Wally’s information and called him a few days later to invite himself over to Wally’s house so he could “show the plan”. “I was very impressed by the business presentation of course and went on to do exactly as he did for 3 years.” Long story short, Wally got deeper in debt purchasing products for his own use. “I needed them anyway” Wally says as he remembers the words of his up-line. The other expense Wally remembers is the tape of the week program. At the end of the three years Wally did have a large team but then of course they all deployed and the team fell apart, not that they were making him money anyway. Wally recalls the biggest check in those three years was less than $200.00. Wally’s next business venture was Real Estate investing. “I found a guy I will refer to CD on-line who would show me how to do Lease Purchases with other people’s property. So I paid him his fee of $5,000; with my credit card; man was Trayce pissed about that.” Wally, Trayce Dylan his son and Dominic the newest addition to the Carmichael family was just moving into their new Government house in El Paso, TX. They were broke and in debt from his last venture and the cost of the move, and don’t forget about Trayce’s $500+ phone calls. “Ya, money was a sore discussion in our house in those days.” So Wally started this real estate investing course and being mentored by CD. About 8 months later Wally finally got the nerve to apply this information and landed a winning deal, it turned out just like CD said it would. Wally brought home a $3,000 check and put none of his own money into the deal. Trayce was very impressed and took the money for bills. Then about 6 months after that Wally landed another deal that not only earned him $2,500 cash but also $250 a month for 12 months. Then guess what happen, you got it, Wally had to go away again for a few months. When Wally returned from his mission it took him a while to get back into doing real estate deals again. In fact he finally got started again after a year or so but just as he got going good again it was time for the Carmichael’s to relocate again. This time the Carmichael’s were assigned to Hawaii where currently reside. After getting used to the new job Wally started getting the itch to start a new business. “I will not give up on my dream of financial freedom, I know I can do it” Wally states with excitement in his eyes. And as God works his law of attraction, one of his old Army buddies sent him an email about a “great MLM business”. “I was done with MLM at this point. I know it is a great business model but I had just got out of debt, finally, and it felt great.” Well to make a long story short Wally got started with this business and 7 months later he found himself just over $7,000 in debt again. The worst thing is, he hid the two new, almost maxed out, credit cards from my Trayce. How did he get so far into debt so fast? Well the leaders in that program kept telling him to by this training CD/program and those double back flip triple opt in leads that were gold. Well they cost about as much as gold but they were just leads. “OK they may have been good leads but I did not have the skills to talk any of them into the business” he confesses. Out of thousands of leads and 7 months Wally had 3 people on his team. Two were warm market (people he already new who trusted him) and one that his upline put under him, who by the was as not only broke but broke minded. Well needles to say, now he is desperate. Wally had to get rid of this debt before Trayce found out. So what did he do? You guessed it, he took a tip on a program that was a no brainer. It would be a $6,000 investment over a three month period that would turn into a $7,000 profit. So he took a signature loan for $6,000 and invested $3,000 of it. Of course three days after he joined, the company went under and he was, and still is out, the $3,000. “Yes your right “OUCH”, But I will not quit.” Now we come to how Wally ended up earning more monthly part time than he does from his full time Army Pay. He saw an ad from a very well known Internet Marketer. “I had been in a business with this person and trusted his work. So when I received a solo ad with his name and face on it I read the email.” Mike, the internet Guru, was endorsing this program and he said “I know for a fact that James and Kimberly has made $50,000 in the first month with this program.” Wally was very excited. So he promptly took a very close look at the web site but it took him about 2 weeks to fill out the contact request form. Remember, Wally had already lost $3,000 and now he is considering another program just two weeks later. Wally remembers “I had the other half of the $6,000 loan sitting in the bank and I was really desperate now so I filled out the contact request form.” Just a few minutes later Emma, a team leader from the Prosperity Automated System (PAS) called him. She introduced herself and stated she was calling on Kimberly and James’s behalf. Emma asked Wally, what are your questions? They talked about the program but Wally was not sure he wanted to part with that $1,100 to $3,895 that could help pay back the loan at least before Trayce found out. Emma called a few more times to see where he was in the decision process. Wally received a few emails from James and Kimberly, who would later become his sponsors, and then James called Wally, himself. Wally told James the purpose for his delay in getting started, James’ reply was, “If you can not get started now at the Premier level, I suggest you wait until you can. I would hate to see you miss out on the full commission”. Wally got started at the Premier level that week. He found a credit card check with just enough in the account for him to do so. “It was a huge risk for me and very hard for me to do as you can imagine.” But Wally and Trayce are very glad he took the risk. They have been with PAS and working closely with Kimberly, James and the rest of the team for 3 months now. In the first week Wally and Trayce got qualified and made one Premier sale which earned them $3,000. This month, June 2006, they have earned way more from PAS (part time) than they did from Wally’s full time Army pay. “I can not explain to you how it feels to finally be making money on my own with the assistance of my PAS family.” Wally get’s a huge smile on his face as he explains how the team leaders were working on his behalf while he was in Japan for a week with very little Internet access and no cell phone access. “This is a business I can operate even when I am not around to do so” says Wally. “By the way Trayce now knows about my credit cards and she is still upset with me because I hid it from here but she is enjoying our PAS commissions.” See how Wally is doing now by viewing his video message HERE.
