BOSS Program vs. Hurricane Ike
Co-founder of the Blind Online Success System Donald Brown, Jr. lives in Lumberton, Texas. As you probably know, Huirrcane Ike struck south-eastern Texas with a vegence.
Donald rode out the strom at his parent’s place in Beaumont, Texas and is doing well. Unfortunately, there is still no power at Donald’s home and so he has been unable to return to his place yet.
Members of the BOSS program also know Donald’s fiance Zoe. She evacuated to western Texas for the storm and is also doing well. However, she lives in the same apartment complex as Donald and since there is no power there, she is staying at her dad’s house for the time being.
BOSS members can reach Donald on his cell phone if they need to talk with him. And co-founders Lori and Jeff are also available for members.
If you are a member of the BOSS program and have not signed up for the new membership site, please signup by visiting the Blind Online Success System Info Page and complete the application/registration form. The BOSS program will be using the new membership site from now on for access to all membership recordings and other information. Since the old server has been down due to the hurricane we will use this opportunity to completely move to the new BOSS membership site.
We appreciate all our members and are excited by their continued progress and success.
If you are blind or visually impaired and are not yet a member of the BOSS program, please check out the program and see if you would be interested in discovering how to market online and work from home.
Best wishes,
Lori and Jeff
New Members On Our New Site
We have a brand new member in our program by the name of Christopher Banks. Now the reason why I am writing about him is because he is the first brand new member that we have gotten ever since our new membership web site has been up and running. Christopher Banks has shown a great interest in our program, and he has already upgraded his membership up to the second level. This proves that he is taking afirmative action, which is the main quality that we look for in a new member of our program.
Not only that, but Christopher is ahead of the game as well because he already has a product in hand. He has written a book about guide dogs that he plans to educate children with. The book is about his guide dog named Pasco. Pasco is the narator of the book, and he takes the children on a true guide dog adventure, plus he explains what it is like to be a guide dog, and what it takes to become a guide dog.
Christopher’s willingness to succeed and become profitable at his own business is the very quality that we are seeking in a new member of our program because if we can get more like him, then we know that we’re doing the right thing.
It really motivates me to see people just like Christopher because that lets me know that the BOSS program is really needed.
I have actually had people tell me that this program is a long time in coming, and it just goes to show that those that are taking action are proving that this program really does work. If we can get more members who are taking action like Christopher Banks, then we will be turning some heads because it is very unusual to have a program such as ours that can churn out so many successful people like that.
You see, most coaching and apprenticeships don’t have the number of successful people that we have because for the most part, most of the people in those groups aren’t getting the support and help that they really need to succeed. I guess that’s what really sets us far apart from the other coaching programs out there.
I myself am totally dedicated to BOSS and it’s membership because I want this entire program to be successful. We have only been in existance since July of 2007, and look where we are right now. We have come a very very long way, but the road is long and we have a lot more of it to travel down yet.
I honestly belive that in combination with our new membership site and the more successful people that we have, we should be in the media pretty soon, and those spotlights will be shining upon us. People will be taking notice, and we will be talked about. We really want people to take notice of BOSS because it will show them that the blind and the visually impaired can run and manage their own online businesses, and that they really can become successful at it.
Myself along with Jeff and Lori are making sure that each and every member of our program gets exactly what they need, especially in the way of support and backing. You see, I honestly believe that’s what sets us apart from other coaching programs. It is that winning support, friendliness and the willingness to see someone though that makes all the difference in the world.
We stick with our members through thick and thin, and it shows. We don’t just talk the talk, or walk the walk, but we do what we teach, and we practice exactly what we preach. We follow our own advice and we do all the things that our members do. We don’t just sit behind the scenes acting like some untouchable gurus. No, we get out there in the trenches and we lend a helping hand when it is needed. We’re not afraid to get our hands dirty, and we’re not afraid to help someone when it is really needed.
That’s why I am available from 9 in the morning until midnight because that’s how dedicated I am. As co-Founder of this program, the members are my responsibility, and the program itself is my responsibility. Myself along with Jeff and Lori make up what I think is a pretty good team. Between the three of us, you have the best in the business because we truly believe in you and what you’re capable of.
I am going to borrow a quote that one really great marketer by the name of Cindi Dawson says, and that is, "You can do this!" She’s absolutely right in saying that too because you can do this, there’s no question about that. As Christopher Banks is already proving as a brand new member, there’s no reason why you can’t take affirmative action and create your own business online through our program.
