I get a lot of questions asking us just how serious we are about Genewize.

Well, to make this answer short and sweet … I just put $22,000 in Genelink Stock (GeneLink, Inc. OTCBB: GNLK) yesterday … so, I think it is fair to say that I am REALLY serious about this business.

I had already bought A LOT of stock in June, and it tripled in about 3 weeks. Now, I am not saying that the stock is going to do that again… I am just saying that I feel VERY confident in the success of this company… confident enough to spend ANOTHER $22,000 on the stock.

So, you decide whether it’s for you or not… but as for us… we are running FULL SPEED ahead with this company.

This is going to be BIG.

Join Us Here!

You can sit back, and watch a bunch of people become financially free, or you can jump on board and possibly become one yourself… it’s up to you though.

We look forward to working with you soon.

To Your Success!

Here is an interesting video that was sent to me from a good friend of mine.

Well, we got invited to go sailing out in the Gulf of Mexico the other day, and here are some photos of that trip.

We got a little wind on the trip, but nothing to crazy.

The whole trip was great… we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day.

This first pic is of me at the helm. It was actually my first time ever to sail a boat this big (40ft.). Let’s just say I had A LOT of help…

Here is my beautiful wife Leslie on the bow…

Here is another picture of me at the helm.

This was a HUGE school of stingrays we say about 10 miles out. There were hundreds of stingrays.

Here is a pic of Leslie and I at the helm.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures of our afternoon sailing trip. Hopefully we will be going out again soon, and I will surely take some more pics!

Also, don’t let the pics fool you… I know NOTHING about sailing. I am trying to learn though.

I have met some great people here in Florida that have already taught me a TON.

Have a good one!

Man… last night was rough.

We had just launched a new niche site, a few days ago, and my IT guy was installing a new support script on the server.

Suddenly, right before bedtime (about 2 am)… I noticed that the homepage of the site did not look right.

(Now, keep in mind, we’ve had 300+ new members to that site in about 48 hours… so it was growing fast)

Well… turns out that the support software installed on our server restored 70% of the site that we built to the default pages. Meaning… almost EVERYTHING that we had done to get the site up and running was GONE.

After panic set in at about 2:05 AM… I called my partner, and we started busting ass to get everything back.

We had to re-do just about everything. Emails, pages, links… the whole 9 yards… almost EVERYTHING was gone!

Ahh… “the joy of entrepreneurship”

Well, the good news (after about 4 redbulls) is that we got it back up and running today. We are still tweaking, and changing stuff, but our members are still signing up, and the money is still rolling in. (it’s not converting as well as it was… but we are working on that too..

A couple lessons to take note here.

First off… BACK YOUR STUFF UP. Because this site was so new, we didn’t have anything backed up. We had a couple of the pages saved in our html editors… but we should have had EVERYTHING backed up.

It’s really no excuse… new site or old… you NEED to back up your stuff.

Second, stuff like this happens in business ALL THE TIME. You have to be prepared, and you can’t take time to whine.

If we would have sat their, and whined about how our site was gone… we would NOT be making money today.

You see… true entrepreneurs take ACTION. We don’t sit and complain about the disasters in our business… we just get stuff done.

Because sh*t is going to happen… it’s a fact of life.

If you own your own business… you WILL have problems. What sets apart the people that make a lot of money from the people that don’t is ACTION.

So, I hope you take a couple lessons from this blog post to heart.

It was a LONG night, but you know… I wouldn’t trade this for the world.

I love my business, and I love the crazy hours sometime.

I could NEVER go back to a 9 - 5… absolutely NEVER. The internet has brought so much into my life, and the business is so much more rewarding (financially and emotionally) than any JOB could ever be.

I encourage anyone that is trying to start a business online to KEEP AT IT. Sometimes “sh*t happens” in your business, but you just have to go with it, and roll with the punches.

If it were too easy… everybody would do this…

Well, I hope you enjoyed the post… I’m going to go take a nap now… |-)

p.s. Thanks Bram for the help last night … You are the man!

Well, I haven’t updated the blog in a while, because I have been preparing for my grandmother’s 80th surprise party.

The ENTIRE family was able to get together to surprise her last Saturday.

We all flew in to my hometown, Corpus Christi, TX, and surprised her at one of our favorite restaurants, Snoopy’s.

We have been planning this trip since February, and surprisingly… nobody let the surprise slip.

Here is a video of the surprise…

After the lunch, we all went out to some condos we rented on the water in Port Aransas, TX. We had a blast, and it was great to get the entire family together to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday.

She means a lot to all of us!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

-Ryan

p.s. The reason I kept it a secret from my blog readers is because my grandmother reads this blog everyday… If I would have mentioned that I was taking a trip to Corpus… she would have immediately caught on.

p.p.s. Notice we all had matching shirts. We took a picture of my grandmother hula dancing in Hawaii (when she was 23) and had it screen printed on a shirt for all of us. Thanks Kyle for printing all of those, and Eric for the design!

p.p.p.s. My grandmother’s name is Mary if you would like to wish her a “Happy Birthday” below…
