Getting Pain Online

“It’s a pity you find it so hard to get paid, when other people seem to find it so simple”

This is where all that changes!

You too can have the cash pouring into your account instead of having to chase elusive clients for payments.

You’re about to find out how to make getting payments so simple your clients will clients will settle their bills immediately.

Hi, I’m Simon D Allen,
and I want to share with you my knowledge and methods for making a big success of your small business.

Before I get started let me ask you a couple of questions…

  • Have you been struggling with your business for a while and are unsure how to turn up the heat?
  • Or do you work part-time, want to make more money with your own small business but don’t really know where to start?

Maybe it’s something else, but you want to find out more about how to join the growing online economy now, before it’s too late…

If any of those resonate in even the smallest way then I have to congratulate you for coming here today. Well done for taking action, that’s the biggest step on the road to greatness…

Most people look at the rich and successful with envy. They see the benefits of wealth and think, “it’s alright for you, you’ve had all the luck”.

But that’s not true at all. And my guess is that you already know better.

Am I right?

What you and I understand is that those successful people were not always rich. That they once struggled. That they had to find opportunities. That they made their own luck.

Today is when you start finding your own luck. You’ve arrived at a place where you can get a bit of a leg up because an opportunity has found you!

It doesn’t matter if you have no technical skills…

  • It doesn’t matter if you have no experience in business.
  • It doesn’t matter if you’re short of time.
  • It doesn’t matter if you’ve never built or managed a website.
  • It doesn’t even matter if you feel like you’ve honestly tried everything to get customers paying you, yet nothing has worked until now…

You see, I've spent the last 20 years going through all of the same things that you've been experiencing. I've found lots of ways not to do things...

And just like one of my old bosses once said, "I've made more mistakes than anyone else, so I've learnt more than anyone else!"

What that means is that you can benefit from my mistakes, without having to go through the same pain as I did to start making a profit.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

before we get right into this I'm going to tell you how I got to where I am now.

Back in the late 90s I was working for a TV production company as one of their senior producers. But things weren't looking too good for the future. We did lots of video projects for businesses and they were beginning to switch their attention to creating their web presence.

It just so happened that I'd gained a reputation for building large and complex communications campaigns, so even though I'd never built a website, I was headhunted by a big web agency to head up their creative department.

Happy days!

You'd have thought so. Don't get me wrong, I was earning huge amounts of money and living a wonderful life. But the problem was that after only 5 months the dot com bubble burst, the tech sector crashed, and I found myself out of work completely.

However, in the face of adversity I'm someone who gets creative, and takes action.

Within a couple of weeks I'd found a new employer, a great salary, and took six of my team with me.

But the industry was still in trouble. Nine months later I was unemployed again!

On the scrap heap.

The position I found myself in was uncomfortable and unsustainable.

I had a wife and three young children. A big country home plus a flat in the city, three vehicles to run, and a lifestyle to match. It was expensive, but I had no income.

Just like before I got busy.

But things had changed. There were very few positions for people at the top of my world. When I did get a sniff of a vacancy for a job I could do I was usually over qualified and passed over in favour of someone with less of a track record.

I know, it sounds crazy. But the truth of it was that I was going for roles that were junior to my previous jobs. I was viewed as very capable, but wouldn leave for a better opportunity quickly.

What could I do?

After a very short time my bills were mounting and going unpaid, the mortgage was a constant struggle, and luxuries started to include food and electricity.

I rented out my city flat, and started selling investments.

I took my lovely Jaguar off the road - it was just too expensive to run.

And I decided that I'd better learn to do something I could charge people for pronto!

A frustrated entrepreneur.

I'd always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I was always on the look out for new opportunities, better ways of doing things, and new and creative alternatives to make what I did something different and special.

And this part of my character came in really handy while I was working things out.

It all started when my cousin was having a few financial challenges of her own. To bring in a little more cash she started doing bed & breakfast in her farmhouse, and she called me to see if I could build her a simple website.

You may remember that I said I'd never built a website in my life...

Well that was still true, but I'm a great conceptual thinker and always had a very good idea of the final outcome of any project I produced.

The upshot is that I got hold of an old copy of Dreamweaver 3, a website development application, and loaded it onto my computer.

It wasn't easy at first, but I managed to build a two page website, invoiced my cousin, and earned my first self employed payment.

There's more to come - keep watching...
