This is my son, Mark.

• He is almost 16 yet weighs just 80 pounds.
• His 'socially adjusted' age is 6 years old.
• He loves legos, hot wheels and reading.
• He has a gift with animals.
• His extensive knowledge of marine life is amazingly accurate.
• Kids don't 'get him' and therefore, exclude him.
• Adults don't 'get him' and tag him a behavior problem.
• He reads on a 12th grade level, but can't remember to brush his teeth.
• Mark is my oldest, and yet, my youngest.
• He has fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) due to in utero exposure to alcohol from his birth mother.

Why do I tell you this? Well, because we all deal with 'stuff' - none of us has a 'storybook' life and in this case...my kids are the reason I chose to build my business at home. They are my 'why.'

To further explain... We spend over $3,000 per month on Mark's therapies, medications, treatments and schooling. There is no 'cure' there is no 'fix' - there is only coping, structure and quality of life.

And $3,000 is a lot of money to create per month, especially when you have 3 other children that keep you hopping as well!

• Mark is the reason I'm passionate about membership programs.
• Mark is the reason I have continuity, clubs, membership courses, etc in place. So that I know, without a doubt, that his care and treatment is covered first and without fail.
• He is a gift. He is a blessing. And I never want to have to choose his options based on 'not being able to afford it.'

If you are in business, you must have some sort of ongoing billing. I encourage you, plead with you - to consider it.

My friend, Stu McLaren came and spoke at my live event in Dallas recently.  He is a membership genius and I'm proud to know him. His software for managing membership is excellent and I'm using it for several platforms.

• It's a one-time cost, not ongoing
• it's easy to use - not tech-degree needed!
• It works with your existing wordpress site - wahoo :)

And for folks who try the software, he's giving away a free book on creating memberships and the like.

I trust Stu. He has a heart for adoption and non-typical kids, like I do.

He also has a heart for business owners.

I don't know what your 'why' is. I don't know what your family deals with. But I know that these programs enable me to provide the best life possible for my son.

We all love getting "extras" - especially when they don't cost anything.

For example, WishList Member is giving away a free copy this new book with any purchase during October:

=> See More Details Now <==

The only "catch" is that the offer ends October 31st.

So if you order WishList Member, you'll get a bunch of very cool "extras" - including the book and some exclusive audio interviews.

Now is certainly the best time to get a copy.

==> Here's the link for More Details <==

Enjoy!

P.S  I've been told that this deadline is firm.  So you'll need to order before 11:59pm PST on October 31st to get the free book.

  Thanks for letting me share about my special boy today. I don't live in a pity party, nor do I ask for one for him. I simply want the best care and the best life possible for him and my business allows me to provide that. That is my hope for you too!

FTC disclosure: I sometimes recommend products or services that I earn a commission or thank you prize when I recommend them. However, I never recommend anything I don't personally use, that doesn't have a guarantee and that I don't know the provider. That is the case here.

How did you like it?

We just heard from a woman from London yesterday who said she's
practically "worn it out" reading to it over and over again! She
had to reprint the chapter!

And I love this picture from a new reader. It says it all! Look at
all the sticky notes!

If you haven't read to it yet, I just wanted to remind you to do
so. I certainly know that life sometimes gets in the way, but we've
been told it's THAT good.

Oh, and be sure to have a pen and notebook handy, OK? You'll want
to take lots of notes!

Until next time...
