About Me

I’m a wife, mom and successful online entrepreneur all rolled into one. I’m also a spirit-filled Christian, and one of the most determined people you’ll ever meet

On a personal note, I grew up on a farm just outside the 4th largest city in the U.S. So, I’m equally at ease in a Corporate Board meeting — or milking a goat! Actually, I prefer the goats - less manure involved

My husband and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 33 years.

My husband, Steve, is a musician SteveLisenbe.com and our two grown sons are pursuing music careers, so music is instrumental (sorry) in my life. In fact, Steve & I led worship at a large church for about 15 years.

After our second child was born, I went back to college and got a BS in Computer Science, and then landed a “good job” w/ a “good company”… and started “the climb”

During the following 15 years I spent in Corporate America as a software designer, a huge paradigm shift occurred. In fact, the whole Global Economy shifted.

In 2003, I became one of the casualties of this shift… my software job is now somewhere in India. Talk about a slap in the face. After 15 years of being told how great I was and being made to feel indisposable… I was suddenly, disposed!

Being a Fortune 500 company, Hewitt did give me a tidy little severance package, which helped… but my spirit was severely wounded.

I was raised to believe that the only way to really be successful was to get a college education and go to work for a good company, and I had done that. And now, after working for that company for 50-60 hrs/week for 15 years, I was laid off!.**POOF** So much for company loyalty!

My transition from “corporate reject to Successful Entrepreneur” has not been without some bumps, though. I knew I NEVER wanted to return to the corporate world - I loved my new time freedom plus could no longer stomach the corporate politics - but I also knew I would have to do something to replace my Six Figure corporate salary.

I first tried my hand at old-school MLM… NOT FUN!

My short stint in MLM made me realize that I did not want to promote this company by approaching friends and family. And, being a female who’s concerned with my personal safety — I’m not reallly into striking up conversations with strangers at the gas pump

So, I turned to the internet - determined to learn Internet Marketing.

Instead of affiliate marketing, I first got into the top-tier direct sales form of network marketing, and did very well with it. In fact, I became a top earner in my company.

Only problem was, VERY few people were able to duplicate my success.

Now, one HUGE lesson I learned from my experiences is the importance of marketing.

That’s why it’s VITALLY important that, no matter WHAT your product is… YOUR GOAL must be to become a master marketer.

And, I’m here to tell you straight away — this is going to take time, dedication and money! If you think otherwise, you should stop reading now and just keep your corporate job.

I have personally spent thousands of dollars on marketing training, and am now considered a WEB 2.0 marketing specialist. But I STILL continually take training… because the internet is constantly changing. So, if you stop learning, you’ll get left in the dust!

And, I have no intension of being left in the dust!

Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! I now have the assurance that, no matter WHAT the economy does, I’ll still be secure because I know how to do affiliate market.
