Who is Henry Jose?

Well I’ve been married 19 1/2 years to my beautiful wife Joy and have 3 wonderful kids (Isaac, Frances, Anya), that I fight for everyday.  They are my reason for working hard to get FREE.

I was introduced to network marketing in March of 1989, got super excited because I found a way to achieve my dream.  That is until I found out, I was shy, afraid to call people and can’t talk to people.  But it didn’t matter, I figure, I was planning on getting my degree (I was working in engineering as assistant and drafter full time and going to school part time 4 nights a week), why not get a degree in getting rich.  So I dropped college and started building the business.  It wasn’t easy, it took me 3 years before I made over $1,000 gross.  But I never gave up.  Something my dad, my hero, instilled in me.  Try and try until you die…he use to say.  Extreme but hey, I would die for may family and their freedom!

I reached a top 1% level in my first MLM company after 3 1/2 years and stayed in the top 1% for 13 1/2 years until I sold my distributorship.  I also developed some additional work from home businesses which allowed me to make a 6 digit income and help a few people do the same.  One thing I love most in network marketing is the ability to change people’s lives and give them hope again then helping them achieve that dream.

I don’t know why I did it but I believe it was more for ego or status, but I got myself caught up in traditional business.  Bought a business for over $125K with a $18K./mo overhead with a partner.  I was a silent partner, did marketing but between overhead and economic changes, I never made as much money with that company as I did in a home based business.  I also got involved in high leverage real estate investing.  Ego and status will always get you when the economy shifts and it did.  I was highly leverage with multi-million dollars worth of properties, no tenants, went from positive cashflow to over $20,000 a month of overhead and lost income.  I was trying to save my credit, so 6 digit in assets didn’t last at over 20K  a month of overhead.

I say these not to impress you, probably more to show how dumb I was :D .  We went from 7 digit in assets to 6 digit in debt in no time.  It was the toughest time of my life.  I literally had to get a job after 15 years of not having one and my had to go back to work after so many years of not having a job.  That was humbling.

I went back to researching  the MLM industry again, got hooked up with a few of them and for a while there I jumped around and felt like an MLM junkie.  I made some money but there was this void.  I figure, there’s got to be a way to build MLM online so I started researching, and researching. researching, researching…….and found some incredible information.  Man I started buying, software, programs, memberships and was really excited but I really wasn’t building the MLM.  Thank goodness I came across a good friend, Ty Tribble, and found out he’s built a few MLM businesses to the top using online and offline strategies.  He also warned me about getting distracted (which it did) and also that most people advertising to have the “secret online formula for building MLM” are not building their business.  They’re selling software and membership.  They’re really more affiliate marketers than network marketers.  Ty also lead me to MyLeadSystemPro, an online MLM training system and community.  This organization helped me a lot get organzined and stay on track with building my business offline and online.

I also kept researching the MLM business and what business would I be totally 100% believe in that would hit my core.  One I would recommend to my mom or kids.  Well as I did my research, I found out the difference between affiliate marketing and network marketing.  Both have strenghts and weaknesses.

Affiliate offers opportunity to market software and other digital products online but you’re mostly alone.  And if you catch a product launch and you have list, you make money. If you catch it late, you don’t make much money.  You’re constantly looking for new products to market.

Network Marketing is mostly offline, most of them cost between $100 to $1500 to get in.  A lot of time you don’t make much money up front but by building a team you create tremendous amount of income with the possibility of passive residual income.  You also deal mostly in nutritional products, telecommunication or even collectible coins.

Well combine the best of both worlds and you’ve got the “new economy network marketing”.  You market digital products, videos, ebook, website subscription, have a pay plan that pays you good enough to create an income (4-5digit) sizable enough to replace a job income in 2-6 months, not 2 to 6 years with the aspect of compounding growth because of as your team grows your income grows.  WOW, that was the solution….but what else is missing.

TRUE financial independence is when you not only generate a massive amount of income  with the possibility of passive residual income from the business BUT you also learn how to manage that money.  I’ve seen too many people work hard to build a team only to have the company shut down on them.  Or have a company that’s been around for a while but very few people really make good money at it, if at all.  Even Kiyosaki talks about cashflow quadrant and endorse MLM industry as a way to replace a job or self employment income but people forget the 4th which is becoming an investor.  Being involved in retirement planning, stock and real estate investing, I’m a huge believer of the fact that the TRUE FINANCIAL FREEDOM is when you make enough money to put away a sizeable chunk AND know how to make it work for you!

That’s why I got involved with Infinity 100 and Infinity Downline.  Both offers everything someone would need to create TRUE FINANCIAL FREEDOM.  We haven’t looked back and its been kicking butt!
