So my turning point was actually back in 2011.
It was in May, 8 o'clock in the evening.
I came home, my, my wife's car is there and I'm walking into
the door and I say, "hi".
Nobody is answering.
And I could hear the TV.
And I walked into the living room and I found my family there
just watching TV. And I said, "hello, I'm home".
And my wife just turned her head and.
"Hi, Christian", and back to the TV.
And my kids just like, "hi, daddy", back to the TV.
At that point, I realized that I'm about to lose my family
because I've been working so much so they don't know me
anymore. Is this what you get if you just want to become
successful?
You know, earn a lot of money being able to prepare for the
future for your family.
I just promised her at that point I need to do something
different. And I'm going to solve this as fast as possible.
One of my big interests before was music, so I was a DJ.
And when my business went bankruptcy, I needed to get money in
like super fast.
So I took every DJ gig I could get.
Christin Bir: I was playing a lot of gigs.
Four times in a week.
And all of a sudden I start to lose interest.
And that's when I found affiliate marketing on the Internet
where I basically could go in, just take somebody else's
product or service and just market that on the Internet.
And the only thing I needed to learn was one thing, and that
was marketing. And I just called you up, and I said, "hey, I'm,
I'm working with this community here, we have the same goal for
the future and everything".
We haven't met before and I asked, "do you want to join me?"
You said yes. And now we feel more like married.
Martin Strom: When I found affiliate marketing, I was actually
doing that in between my job.
So I built up my online business beside my ordinary job.
I actually ended up working very long in my traditional job.
And, in the end, I just got enough with it.
So I called up my boss and just told him I need to quit.
So he told me, so where are we going to start?
Nowhere. I'm just going to be home with my kids.
Christin Bir: People invest in other things, but rarely people
never do invest in themselves.
And that's a huge difference, right?
Lack of information is never a problem in today's age.
There's so much information on the Internet.
What people need is guidance.
Martin Strom: As long as you have your,
your laptop, you have your business up running, you can
concentrate and do the things you find fun in life.
Christin Bir: When I told my friends from the beginning that I'm
going to start an online business, they thought I was crazy.
The thing is that we have been doing this for almost seven
years now, just quietly behind the scenes.
And what makes us happy right now is to really help other
people to be able to create a business without destroying
everything in their lives by removing even more time.
Christin Bir: The right time to start a business was yesterday,
the next best time is today.
