About Joe Neid

Joe Neid is that rare individual who earned his stripes the old fashioned way; through, focus, diligence, persistence, tenacity and “roll up your sleeves” get r' done style no nonsense hard work. He has over 15 years experience in free enterprise, direct sales and network marketing.

Joe spent 10 years in the big time entertainment business as an independent theatrical lighting designer and personal road manager when he came to a fork in the road. Either be prepared to live on the road forever (they call them “road dogs”) or make a move into the “real” world. The real world seemed like a refreshing change after all of those years on a tour bus. Well, Joe took a J.O.B. and within weeks he came to the frightening realization that he is “psychologically unemployable; a totally unmanageable employee”; he began freaking out and exploring other ways to pay the freight.

Well it did not take him long to see that there are truly only two options in the “real” business world:

1. You are either in free enterprise
    
   or
    
2. You are working for someone who is

Joe began his journey into the world of the self employed in the most peculiar of all places for a music guy to be…..the insurance business. (This is another story for another day)

He did however attain very significant results; he began his agency in his garage sitting in a lawn chair and using a snack tray for a desk, and developed a $2,000,000 book of business within 24 months. Life and business partnerships have a way of, well….lets just say things did not work out as well as Joe had hoped.

Time to start over; “no problem” thought Joe, “I am tough, I am resilient”. Good thing; because he went through another 2 start-ups and a stint as a loan officer for a mortgage company and after 2 years was feeling “out of gas” when he saw the ad in a national news paper. You know the one… work form home, executive level income; fire your boss , etc, etc.

He was hooked, only problem was he was broke. No, he was flat broke , over due on the rent, gas heat had been disconnected phone was turned off and electric was getting shut off in a week.

Time to get focused.

Joe borrowed the funds to turn on the phone and get started in Network Marketing and got busy. By staying focused, no; extremely focused and not allowing anything to impede his progress, in his first 30 days/full time he earned over 10,000 bucks and paid those loans off. Sounds rosy doesn't it? Well, hold on a minute, actually his journey has had many ups and downs and he has learned a ton about what it takes to not only get to the top, but to stay at the top. His experience is unique in that he has been involved in the industry at all levels. Frightened newbie, qualifying distributor, top dog earner, top dog earner who has stumbled and had to rebuild ; Joe has also worked at the corporate level for 3 direct sales/networking marketing companies as a marketing executive and as a national sales trainer, working hands on with many of the top earners in the industry today. Most recently he was the architect of the system that took a company from “squeaking by” to nearly 20 million per year in revenues; in less than 24 months.

And the most exciting thing is that Joe will tell you he is just getting started!
