If you have never heard the term Penny Auction Websites you probably soon will. They strike a cord into many of the good things about the human spirit and what I call the fabric of life.

I believe in compassionate capitalism, which is a whole other topic, but it’s about helping people first in order to help yourself last and in the end, helping many others as well.

I invest in people and in assets. My network of business partners and associates is a big part of my life and they are what matters most. A ‘tool’ that enables my lifestyle is the income streams that fund that lifestyle, and it’s that way for most people.

The ‘art’ of business is to make it people oriented. I call that compassionate capitalism. There is a balance and each of us strikes that balance in our own way.

I am currently with an auction business model that enables me to double my money every 48 days. For the numbers people who hear this, they cannot believe it. I didn’t when I first heard about it myself. In fact, I walked away from it, but when a friend who is an over-the-road truck driver turned $700 in Nov 2011 into $2,754 by mid-Feb 2012, I took another look.

If you have ever heard of the “rule of 72“, that’s the best way I know to explain the program. It is enabling many people to get the shackles of debt off their backs so they can go live the life they have wanted to live but found it hard to do.

Most of them turn to helping others as soon as they get the debt monkey off their backs. Success is a good thing when good people achieve it. The journey from employee and consumer to business owner is a great trip and I recommend it to anyone who wants to achieve more with their life and who has a desire to help others.

Like most people, I started out as a consumer. Now I am a prosumer. I produce income while consuming products. It’s simple to do and understand once you step outside of the consumer and employee box that school put you in.

I’ve learned to make a good living as a networker and I love it. I meet nice people, I get paid to shop and I get to travel the world and work, or play, from wherever I happen to be that day.

I call it my job free life. In 1980 I learned that I’d be happier as a business owner than I was as an accountant. Duh, ya reckon? And that’s not a slam about accountants. They are smart, hard working people, but like all employees, they are beholden to someone else, and that is just not who I am.

Some people like the structure and the perceived safety of job security. For me, I yearned to be on the other side of the counter, i.e. I wanted to own the business, not work for it, so for me, it wasn’t even close. I wanted to be my own boss, so I quit my job at the bank and I’ve been free ever since.

Along the way, I learned how to turn our ordinary household expenses into household income by shopping through a network that pays us to shop there and refer other customers to our network.

We all tell friends & family about good deals we find, right? Since 1995, I have my own network marketing business doing what I call “Shop and Share“.

Now I help others earn money, too, so if you would like to save money on your household products and get paid by referring other shoppers to your store, I can show you how to do that.

I don’t sell or chase people and I don’t bite!  I simply answer your questions and hook you up with the network and then I leave you alone, unless you ask for help. I’m here to help guide you, not push you like some in networking do.

I can easily show you how to become a pro-sumer, too. Then you decide how far and how fast you want to go.

In addition to the consumer side of this online network of stores, there is also an affiliate aspect. It is optional and while most people just want to shop for the value of the high quality products, about 5% of people also want to build a network of customers and earn some income as their reward for sharing the concept. Thus the ‘shop share earn’ name for the site.

I know that some people are afraid of talking to a “stranger”, and if that’s you, I can understand that, but if you’re ever going to make it in any business, you must overcome that thinking.  Every business is built on relationships with people. Networking is a great place to learn how to build relationships with people, and that skill is universal and an important skill to have for anyone.

If you can’t get past that, no problem. You can become my customer, I’ll set you up with the same discount pricing I pay and you can shop at discount without anyone bothering you or trying to sell you anything or get you to do anything, period.

We have a solution that will enable you to buy items wholesale and you can still build an income just by being a loyal customer. Email me and I’ll setup your free account and turn you lose in the store.

I started this post talking about Penny Auction Websites and wandered into my life and other topics, which hopefully was worth the read, but let me say this – if you have never looked into Penny Auction Websites, I think you’ll like it. They are fun and in the case of the one I frequent, they are also very profitable.

I will put a link below my signature in case you would like to visit, and if you do from that link, I will see to it that you get 500 free links just for having read this far down into my post! How’s that for payback? It’s a $300 value, so I hope you have fun bidding, and when you buy something like a $100 bill for about $10 (yes, this Penny Auction Website auctions cash as well as products) , send me an email telling about your good fortune!

If anyone wants to make a business connection and swap stories or links or whatever, drop me a line.  I like politics, ancient world history, travel and about 1,000 other topics.  Basically, I like people and I love to learn from their experiences.
