Yes, that is a mug shot of me, Tyler
Miller. In this picture, I am a
45 year old business person slowing down in life and "smelling the
roses" so to speak. I have been involved in business in managerial
positions for close to 25
years incurring tons of stress, long commutes, and missing life's
moments with my wife and two daughters.
It was time for me to enjoy life, grow spiritually, and venture out
on my own allowing me some freedom. More Freedom came at a price.
With less responsibility, and shorter commutes came a reduction in
salary that I was ready to accept for a period of time.
During the past years I had started two home businesses. My
original thoughts of being my own boss and more time freedom is why I had started them. Only to
be distracted and to quit because of big promotions in my managerial
business career.
Coming around again and searching the internet for opportunities, I
was shocked and dumbfounded at what I had found. Get rich quick schemes
and promises of thousands of dollars a month bombarded my screen, with
the never ending "sign up now" and "give us your email address".
Wow! This was not for me - no way! Too much
non-information.
The Internet in my mind was supposed to be the "information highway"
and somewhere along the line in turned into the internet "scam and spam
highway", at least as far as information on home businesses and my
concerns.

Marketing, advertising, organizing information, and the internet had
always been an interest to me. I had notions of running a home business on the
internet, but didn't know how and where to start to be successful.
In surfing and searching I had discovered a web site hosting
company called Site Build It (SBI). They seemed to have a lot of
successful SBI web site owners and offered enough trustworthy
information on their web pages to make it believable - a doable thing!
I was browsing and scanning some web pages on the SBI web site that
were titled Make Your Knowledge Sell. This hit a nerve. I wasn't
sure how or what kind of knowledge I could provide on the Internet, but it
kept me sleepless for a few days thinking about it.
I continued thinking about home business and the Internet, and
decided I would build a web site to provide good information on the
different possibilities on starting a home business.
And that's how you found this page and are reading this! As old
Ripley might say .... "Believe it, or Not ! "

On a more personal note ...
My spiritual wellness is renewed three times a week
or more at the
First Baptist Church of Barberville.
The church is a very friendly country style church with preaching from
the King James version of the Bible.
We undoubtedly have some of the best leaders in our
church. Our youth groups are considerably large for a church of our
small
size.

I stay busy most of the time and don't view TV except
for the occasion news broadcast or movie with the family. Most of
my media comes from the Internet.
My wife, the bank, and I have purchased our dream
fixer-up home, and twenty-five acres of wooded country property in North
Central Florida, not far from the east side of the Ocala National
Forest. The actual town name is Pierson, and it claims to be the fern
capitol of the world.
So, naturally one of my hobbies is home and property
improvement. You might consider me as a kind of "Jack of all
trades", but a master of very few - possibly none! LOL ;-)

My favorite sport is paintball ! The adrenalin
rush that I get from it is absolutely amazing. The rush is always
intensified by the thought of getting hit by one of those paintballs,
especially up close. Ouch!
I always get hit up close ( up close hits are the ultimate rush,
cause you know it's going to hurt a little ), and many times I have
bruises to show off and stories to tell about the game.
You may not want to try paintball if you don't like a
little stinging and a bruise or two. I recommend at least trying
it. The rush and the story you can tell about playing, more often
than not,
far offset the little bit of the sting of getting hit. Just make
sure you're not playing with hard core paintballers your first time out.
Lately, when I play I start thinking about our troops in
Iraq and how fragile life can be. If you have ever played paintball,
imagine those balls as real bullets flying through the air. God
Bless those men and women in our military who put their lives on the
line for our rights and freedoms.
