My name is Bob Schmitz. My story isn't much different than most people in America. The difference between me and most people (maybe even you), is that I eventually found a way to do all that I ever wanted to do, and live the way I wanted to live without having any stress.

In the mid 60's to early 70's I worked for a major airline in lower management. I eventually got burned out with life in corporate America and decided that I would be happier and better off if I became a small business owner. Franchising seemed to be the way to go in those days.

By 1976 I was the proud owner of the top performing convenience store franchise in Long Island, New York, from one of the top convenience store franchises in the country. This meant I had a good income and twenty-four hours of headaches!

My name is Lynda Viteri. Three years ago I decided to leave my job to start a home-based business. I was looking for freedom in many ways:

- Freedom from working for someone else, of course

- Freedom to raise my children by being more involved in their day instead of just catching up at night after a long work day and 4 hour commute

- Freedom to use my talents and explore new ones knowing that it would ultimately benefit my bottom line

- Freedom to empower others to expect and achieve freedom in their lives
