Creating Wealth From Home

Up Front - Please consider this as a "personal resume" - to try to earn your confidence.

Trust - When I ask someone to trust the integrity of some information I might share with them - why should they trust me? Especially if it has to do with business, pensions, tax, financial or investment matters. After all, they don't know anything about me - what kind of a person I am - any of my background - my qualifications - nothing. We are probably total strangers to each other.

This is primarily an "information" page, to tell you something about myself. As a professional and an Internet business entrepreneur, it's purpose is not to try to "sell" you anything. :>)

My name is Peter Arnold, and we recently moved from Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia) to Toronto (Thornhill), Ontario. My lovely wife and best friend is Mary Ann (an RN and wound control resource nurse, also with her certification in gerentology). We have two great sons, Stephen (who is currently in Sydney, AU, for a couple of years) and Graham (who lives in Toronto, Canada). They're both university graduates with degrees and successful in their careers. We also have two beautiful daughters-in-law, Stephen's wife, Stephanie (an Engineer with an MBA) and Graham's wife, Yuko (a Pediatric RN). We are very proud of them all - we feel truly blessed.

Likes / Interests - I'm open minded - I HATE quitting anything - I'm very coachable - I despise HYPE - I'm psychologically UN-employable - I BELIEVE in myself - I love to learn new things - I love coaching people - I love good books / golf / home-made wine / James Bond movies / classical music / pizza / chocolate :>)

Wellness - Mary Ann and I both have a personal passion for achieving WELLNESS, ideally through "prevention". We believe totally in the power of exercise, good nutrition and natural supplementation - as opposed to treating SICKNESS [from heavy over-medication] through expensive and often toxic DRUGS - with their inevitable side effects. We believe we can only achieve "complete" WELLNESS when our physical, emotional, spiritual and financial well-being are in 'harmony' - enabling us to achieve our life purposes ... wellness in mind, body, spirit and finances. We believe that vibrant health, financial abundance, time freedom and peace of mind - IN BALANCE - TOGETHER = our total WELL-BEING.

As a Financial Advisor and a Business Consultant, I have had a private practice for over 20 years. Also, as a Home Biz Coach, I have worked with Business Associates and Small Biz Entrepreneurs - having taken extensive Professional Coaching through ICA (International Coach Academy), a fully accredited Coaching School in Australia. In 1995, I founded Business Achievers Academy, and shortly thereafter, my wife and I founded Wellness Achievers Academy, because of our deep concern for preventive health and integrated medicine. These two Internet businesses are divisions of Academy Group Online (see at the bottom).

After university, I worked first with two major Trust companies (Canada Permanent Trust & Montreal Trust, as a Trust & Estates Officer) - then with two large Life Insurance companies (Metropolitan Life & Manulife, as an Estate & Tax Planner) - then with an international Insurance & Financial Services Company (Standard Life, as their H.O. Training Director for Canada) - then I set up my own Financial Consulting firm (P. R. Arnold & Associales Ltd., as a Business & Financial Advisor), specializing with health care professionals.

It is tragic to witness the successful health care professional - who works tirelessly for 30+ years - only to end up either in poor health or with little financially, to show for it.

These professionals are among the hardest working individuals in our society. Often, they take better care of their patients than they do of themselves. Because of punishing hours, constant government red tape, high taxes, soaring malpractice insurance, poor investment decisions, high divorce rates, maxed out credit cards, etc - many are unable to enjoy enough (well deserved) rest & relaxation with their families. Instead, they endure heavy stress, or worse - encounter serious health challenges and/or face burnout. There is a better way. My Internet businesses are designed to help them become more financially secure, especially in these uncertain times.

Given our present economic mess, many are searching for alternatives for their financial futures. Consequently, the "money hustlers" are flooding the market with options - some good - some very bad. Being able to properly "evaluate" the different propositions that we are all "bombarded" with is very difficult for most people, as they don't have access to the right tools, data, etc. Part of what I do for my clients and associates is help them conduct careful "due dilligence" on the business offerings / investments / home business deals / limited partnerships / Internet businesses / affiliate programs / joint ventures, etc, that they are continually exposed to.

Professional Small Biz Association - My wife and I are both professionals in our own fields. We also see the Home Business industry as a profession. When we got more involved in the Network Marketing industry (it's been over 20-years now), I wanted to become very active in its professional association. I am proud to have been on the Board Of Directors of our ANMP (Association of Network Marketing Professionals). I served on their Board for almost 4 years, representing Canada. The ANMP was previously called the DRA.

ECONOMY - Because of the current global economy - considered a "jobless" recovery - many are worried about the health of their savings / investments / homes / jobs / professions / retirements - and with very good reason.

I have witnessed the high stress, frustration, discouragement - and pain - that many of my clients and associates go through, with all the red tape and the great many uncertainties in their careers.

With its currency woes, unbelievable debt and deficits, our economy has never before been in such grave peril. And we will all suffer the consequences unless we arm ourselves with the right education, strategies and empowerment.

Bottom Line - As already mentioned, more and more people are searching for answers - new alternatives. They want to get more control over their personal finances and their futures. Many are choosing to set up their own small business, either part-time, as an income supplement - or full-time, in order to replace their incomes. Many prefer to work their businesses from the privacy of their own homes, as the best answer. Within the health care profession, many work their businesses along side their practices, for an additional revenue stream. Some options include - Affiliate Marketing - Direct Sales - MLM-Network Marketing - Internet Marketing, among others. This is a vital "first step" for sure - but beyond this, there's a bigger picture of what we'll need to do to not only survive, but to prosper in future.

Small Business Industry - The Small Business industry (including Home Businesses) has become one of the hottest trends - especially for the huge baby-boomer market. And the power and leverage of the Internet has fuelled this, with more than $155 billion last year alone, in Online sales.

'Network Marketing' Biz Model - As an entrepreneur myself, I have a high respect for the Network Marketing business model in particular (even though I used to be one of its most severe critics! :>). Although it is not perfect by any means (what industry is?) - Network Marketing is one of the few industries left where a person - without a famous bloodline - without a lot of capital - without a formal education - who works hard, using the right business, financial, marketing and ethical principles - can achieve both time and financial freedom. Over the past two decades, the majority of Home Biz entrepreneurs have selected MLM-Network Marketing as their business of choice - and many have chosen to expand that business model with InterNetwork Marketing (building it Online).

BUT - the "transition" from past careers into a Network Marketing Home Business can be a shocker for many (most) - and building it on the Internet has proven to be a major challenge.

Confession - As one of those who chose this path for part of my entrepreneurial pursuits - please know that I too, have experienced all of the frustrations, stresses and discouragements in MLM that you probably have. I was no different. Yes, even though my wife, Mary Ann, and I have both been very successful in our careers - mine, with a private Consulting Practice - hers as a Registered Nurse [both = linear income] - when it came to the Network Marketing industry, it was a totally different ballgame for us. The success factors in one profession are not necessarily 'transferable' to another. No!

We suffered all the same failures that most new Home Biz entrepreneurs do - and drove our credit card balances through the roof, trying to get ahead [by buying worthless Leads / Tools / Systems / Courses / eBooks / etc]. The reality is - we too, were being taught [wrong] marketing and business building strategies, by those who themselves didn't know any better - even including some of today's [so-called] biggest gurus!

PUSH -vs- PULL - Much of the OLD methodology puts the emphasis on a "selling" mode - where people are "pushing" their business opportunities and/or products & services at their prospects (often interrupting or 'bugging' people) - instead of "pulling" those same prospects towards them, by earning the "right" to do so.

HOW? - How do you earn the right to doing business with and/or helping people? By building a "relationship" with them first - by gaining their trust - by becoming a professional "problem solver" (instead of simply a "sales person") - by asking good questions - by being a sensitive listener - by providing useful information - by educating people, up front, without a hidden agenda - by being likable - by having a cause / mission / purpose / solution that you are absolutely "passionate" about.

A Better Way - In other words, instead of 'chasing after' your prospects (by making cold calls, holding meetings, putting on presentations, passing out DVDs, flyers, advertising, etc) -- try "attracting" them to you - by first, "becoming attractive" - because you're providing them with real VALUE. When all is said and done, you will become the 'hunted' - not the 'hunter'. This is a much more comfortable, professional, (and profitable! :-) way to build a quality business or practice - especially when it's tied to the right financial, business, marketing (both ONline + OFFline) and ethical principles.

Pathway to SUCCESS - Regardless of your current career / business / profession, to build a diversified business enterprise more successfully - one that YOU truly own (-vs- being simply a 'commissioned Sales Rep / Agent / Distributor / Affiliate' for some Direct Sales, Affiliate, Internet or Network Marketing company, subject to their control, power and ownership) - you should first, "position" yourself for SELF BRANDING and income DIVERSIFICATION, to protect yourself from possible (company, P&Ps and/or upline) abuses and other misfortunes.

Multiple INCOME Streams - In today's economy, having only ONE income leaves you far too vulnerable. For entrepreneurs who seek real prosperity, a 'well balanced' portfolio is healthy - and having solid business revenues (whether from Network Marketing // Affiliate Marketing // Internet Marketing - a Home Franchise biz and/or a Big Ticket business) -- can be very important "parts" of that portfolio. This is just intelligent planning.

State of MIND - It's also important to embrace a meaningful PERSONAL GROWTH environment and to develop a Success Mindset. This might come as a result of some good books, CDs, eCourses, Audios, being a member of special Mastermind Groups, etc. - and such participation will help you develop your God-given LEADERSHIP skills.

Contact Me - It is my sincere hope that this page will help you get to know me a bit better. Your trust and confidence are very important to me. Please feel free to contact me at any time - I'd like to meet 'you'!
