Faudel Business Team

I am so proud to be a part of the Faudel Business Team that I thought I would take a few moments out of my day to express my gratitude for being offered such an amazing opportunity. I'll start by saying that I really had no idea just how big of a compliment my cousin served me when he called me to see if I was looking to make any extra money. I can't speak for anyone else, but I can imagine there are other people that like me, were just living life day to day, paycheck to paycheck. Living for the weekend. I didn't really feel like I had a purpose or direction in life and I was actively looking and trying to figure out just what that was. I was one of those kids who went through high school not thinking twice about where my place in life was, and the same with college. That's why I went to Harper College, I couldn't justify getting 80, 90, or $120k in debt just to go figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to start making money, and I didn't get paid to go to school, so I didn't. A little background on me, I missed about 40 days a year in high school. And I'll be honest, some of those days I sat at home and played video games but most I went to work so I could make some money. Long story short, I've looked at a ton of ways to make a dime without having to sit in a cubicle all day, or break my back doing labor (I tried those and just got burnt out so quickly). I built above ground pools for 5 years, worked in the corporate arena for 5 years, retail stores for a few months, and health clubs for about a year. I didn't mind any of my jobs too much, aside from retail (I despise retail, I don't know how anyone can stand to work retail longer than a couple weeks- I lasted about 2), but I was a slave to another man's dream at every single one of them. Nothing against having a job, jobs are great, but owning a business of my own gives me so many more options its not even funny. That is what our great nation was founded on after all- entrepreneurship. Of all the different things I've seen and done, I can easily say that hands down, my cousin offered me the best business opportunity in the world. There is nothing else that offers even close to all the benefits this business has. Perhaps I'll go into some of those in a later post but for right now I just want to say thank you Christos for extending your hand to me man because I really have no idea where I would be without this awesome team of people in my life. And thank you to everyone on the Faudel Business Team for everything that you have done for me already in helping me to get my business off the ground and see results so quickly. -BT
