Win a “Secrets to Building Sites that Sell”!

We are a homeschooling family of nine. My husband is a great provider, but he is missing out on the opportunity to influence and train our children for the Lord. It’s not his desire to be away; the Lord has given us the vision to have him home, but we have no idea how to get there. I’m hoping your course could show us how to build a business together, as a family. These little ones need their daddy.

After countless hours of research and sitting through “free” courses (that end with “buy now” ploys), I am at a loss as to how to set up a website business. My dh has wanted us to go into business on our own, but the opportunity of information has not presented itself until now. This would be such an answer to our prayers and give us more time to work with our children (who are both disabled and require many therapies). And being a family of four on $1300 a month, this would be such a blessing to us! Thank you.

My wife wants more children (we have 3 girls now) and I was against it prior to this year. God has really been changing my life these past few months. We are in significant debt and I don’t believe it is responsible (based on biblical reasons) for us to have any children until we pay at least some of it off. I have laid out a plan for our family to pay this off (dubbed Project Shallow Tent Pegs). In our current plan, we can have another child, starting in March, 07. This program would definitely assist us in speeding up that plan so that we may fulfill God’s plan for us and be able to do his will.

The Lord has blessed our family tremendously by allowing me to “come home” to homeschool our children 8 years ago. I love being a “stay-at-home” mom and in the past few years have worked on developing a little business of our own here at home. However, I would LOVE to get my husband involved so that he would be able to “come home” too. It just seems like a dream right now. I encourage people on my website to use the gifts that the Lord has given them…I feel that my husband has some gifts in the area of finance and budgeting that could be used for His glory through a home business. My prayer is that “Secrets to Building Sites That Sell” would lead us along down the path that He has laid out for us. Thank you, Steve, for ALL your work in putting these materials together!

My husband is retiring in August after 30 years with the company. It will cut our income in half, but he will be home with our three children and myself. I now run a small business in our home but advertise only on large websites that I pay dearly for. I have no idea how to start my own website.
God has been convictimg me that I am not following the passions He has placed in my heart, but only the “best way” to make a profit. I was in on your teleconference with Cindy Rushton on Tuesday night and have listed the 15 potential ways to go, but am stopped dead in my tracks after that. I have no idea where to proceed from here!
Your course will free us to move forward in what God has for our family. Our children are 22, 19 and 13 all still living at home. We have homeschooled them all and will continue with our youngest. It is our heart to instill in them an entrepreneurial mindset. We are a close family and wish to continue in unity toward God’s purpose for all of us.
I am excited about this course and the doors of freedom from debt and large corporatons it will open to families that want to “come home”.
May God bless you richly!

We are already blessed with a family business. We have 7 children and we have involved them in the day to day as much as possible. Developing a web site and shopping cart for our existing business would allow us to involve the children more and train them wisely in business. We believe that God is pointing us this direction so that we can continue to strive towards spending more time together growing as a family. Thank you for reaching out to families in this matter. We pray that God will bless you for being faithful to His calling.

My husband is a hard workingman. Lately, he has been working the job of two or even three people. It’s about time we do something to get out of this situation. I have been looking for a way to make money from home and now your information may help me to sell a product even better. I’m desperate to get my dear husband home. Also, I want my kids to work in a family business and perhaps one of them will benefit from creating this great website that sells as you are advertising. Thank you for this opportunity to succeed.

Your new video would mean that our seven children are able to have music lessons; it would mean we can give them a headstart in their own online business and perhaps a deposit on their first home; it would mean they might get the occasional new set of clothes or shoes; it would mean that we are able to sponser another less fortunate family overseas and give more tithes; it would mean buying first grade fruit and vegetables instead of seconds…… and it could also mean that my dear husband, who is still a non-believer, might just believe in miracles when I tell him I won a set of videos teaching him how to set up a website and home business!
Thankyou for the opportunity.

We are getting closer to “there…” the place where Dad is home, Mom has help, and the children can be close to us all the time! A few years ago, I was diagnosed with MS and a brain tumor. The tumor was removed, but MS is lifelong, and for me the fatigue and weakness can be overpowering. But God has allowed for us to keep homeschooling our 5! We are truly blessed in so many ways, I couldn’t count them here. We own a few acres in OR, but the jobs there were just not available. This year we began thinking bigger! We are selling our house, putting a house on our land with that cash, and taking our whole family to our little homestead! We don’t really need much to “get by,” but we do need something. This year, I’ve begun to write, and so has my husband. Suddenly, exciting books for homeschoolers are pouring out! But we need more time together to finish them, and then….what do we DO with them? We need to know about websites, ebooks, and more. God has shown us a path, to keep us together, to bolster me with strong, loving hands on every side, but now what?!? These videos will give us a clear view of what to do with the gifts He has given us. Thank you Cindy for telling us about this–believe me, it will be a “required course” for my homeschoolers, as well!

About 4 years ago the Lord placed on my heart a family business. one that will build up and strengthen families. Unfortunately, 3 years ago my husband decided he would rather live without his family. Hence, we are without a provider. Not only is he not in our home any longer but will not provide finacially as the courts have ordered. It has been a 3 year battle and still continues on. It is now time to move on and begin this home business. I feel 100% computer illiterate and would welcome your wisdom in building this family business. God Bless!!

Hi Steve,
I will definitely be purchasing a copy of your program. I see this as the path that I need to be on and am thankful that you are so blessed to be able to offer it to our family and others. Our situation is grim, but I “know” that this is something I must do. I am willing to put Hope and Action together to really make a difference in our lives and the lives of others. Thanks for this! Love, Marcia

Hi Steve,

Both my husband and I were on your call on Monday night. We have had an idea for an internet subscription business for several months now, but we really had no knowledge of how to set it up. We know two people with those skills, but we weren’t certain we should involve them or if we could afford to hire them to design the website. We are SOOOO excited to get your DVD program. My husband currently owns his own business, but it requires a lot of effort out of the home to provide for us. I would love to get our internet business off the ground to not only bring him home to his family, but to also have more money to expand God’s Kingdom. God has placed the burden on our hearts to use the talents he gave us to help fund ministries. We KNOW that this is the way to do it!!! Thank you so much for all you have done to give others the opportunity to live for Christ more fully.

Blessings to you,
Cherie

We are a homeschooling family of 9, with a full time ministry. It is wonderful to have my hubby home and an active part of teaching our children. They are all trainihng for ministry but we also teach them business. We believe their business’s should revolve around their commitment to the Lord not the other way around. Our 3 oldest children are already sucessfull business owners even at the young ages of 17, 15, and 14. Our oldest daughter operates http://www.jumpinbloomers.com and her next in line brother and sister operate http://www.leatherhorses.com . Your course would be such a help in what the Lord has already strted with them. They are hardworking and very motivated, but we could sure use some of your wisdom. We would be very blessed to receive your course, thanks for considering us! all for Jesus, Penny Raine

Wow – I don’t envy you having to choose between us all, and I can see many others whose needs are so much greater than mine. Somehow there will be a way for us to buy this course because God always provides, he just usually waits till the last minute. In the last week, my husband has tendered his resignation, and that same day was offered a part time job which will enable him to work from home. Money will be a little tight, but I’ve been there before and God provides. My children were really inspired by your phone call (it was early afternoon here in NZ so they listened in also) and my son is very keen to work out what he might do. I have ideas already, and will be working on eBooks almost immediately when my writing course finishes in 5 more assignments. It would be a wonderful thing to be able to send my son out with the ability to provide for the grandchildren I look forward to having some day (he’s only 12 at the moment though, so not too soon!) For us this would mean that we won’t have to stretch things quite so hard to make ends meet. I’m really looking forward to the call on Monday, just need to work out what the time will be here again. It was Texas time I think you said I needed… I hope I kept the email

Steve, I look to my email daily for your guidance.
I started out to do “something” from home in February of this year. I had not yet been exposed to your helpful web site and blogs. I made many mistakes, including the web host company I had selected.
My family would benefit greatly from your teaching. As I am learning, so is my 15 year old daughter. My husband also has tried a few MLM’s that never pan out. He is a pastor of a very small Texas church and he works a secular job as well to keep up with the bills.
The Secrets to Building Sites that Sell promo you have offered would greatly benefit our family and God’s Kingdom simulataneously as we seek to do His will for our lives.

Hello,

There are three reasons why I am looking at starting a Christian based home business. The first reason is that I believe it will be a good teaching and ministry tool with my children. The second reason is that years ago, my husband and I were not financially smart and so the extra income would help us to get out of debt. And the third and most important reason is that my husband is in Iraq for the second time in two years. He has three to five years left before retiring from the Army and it would be wonderful to have a business where he would be able to be home ALL the time and develop a deeper relationship with our children.

Mr. Beck,

I am a homeschool graduate and work from the home on stating a few different businesses. My goal is to earn an income at home under the authority of my Father while joyfully serving my family, learn business and enterepurail skills, and be involved in my siblings character and life skills development. I believe that this is crucial to glorifying God in our lives.

I have seven brothers and sisters and would love to be able to encourage them to have the skills and knowledge it takes to start and run an internet business. My younger brother who is ten loves sitting on my lap learning all about how to make a website along with me, but learning this is taking so long and we need to earn an income right now.

Your course is everything our family needs to learn to have a successful internet business, but I am afraid it will not be something we can afford. We have been trying and trying and seem to move forward so slowly.

My Dad has been out of work many months this year and the job he has at present is temporary and simply does not meet our basic needs. Our family has some debt and it is my desire to help Mom and Dad be free from this curse as the Lord desires.

As much as we would love to have this course we cannot see taking it from a single mother trying to stay home and homeschool her children. God bless you and your family. Hearing you speak and reading your newsletters has really given me hope and I have learned so much!

My husband’s older, has been doing physical labor to support us, allowing me to homeschool. He’s now 55. We have no savings, no retirement money with two children to see through college. I’ve been praying for a way to allow him to make money to move out of a job that is becoming too physically taxing to him each year. He’s been injured lately in a car accident that makes doing physical labor very difficult for him. He gets moving later out the door to work. This course would be answered prayer for his body and for our existance.

well, no real inspiring story here. just another family like the rest desiring a better way. our family has always taken what we’ve learned and passed it on to as many people as possible. if this product is as promised, you can be sure it will be highly recommended to a large number of people!

Well, what can I say that hasn’t already been said. We are a homeschooling family with 5 of our 8 kids still at home. Six of our children are adopted. I am really trying to find something for three of my boys to be able to do. School has been very difficult for them but they are great workers. This product would give them something to be able to earn money and hopefully support themselves. Thanks for developing this product and offering it to all of us.

My husband and I have been feeling led by the Lord to open a Christian Bookstore in our area. We have prayed anxiously about how God would have us proceed as we have NO IDEA WHAT WE ARE DOING!!! Why in the world would He have us do this? Currently my husband has been working the night shift at a production plant. We homeschool and have 4 children. We began praying for my husband’s work 2 years ago. Here we are 2 years later and finally God has begun to reveal His plan. I had been feeling led to open a bookstore online and at the same time Jay had been feeling led to open a bookstore as well. When we started talking about the job situation one morning he said, “Have you ever considered opening a business of our own?” I about fell through the floor!!! WHAT???!!! “You’re kidding!” I said. We both felt confirmed in what we thought God was leading us into. So, we went to our banker about a possible loan and just some sound advice. Our banker is also a deacon at our church and like a second grandpa to our children. He didn’t want to discourage us but, we left there feeling discouraged (not about the money but about the vision). However, that same day we were working on the church’s homeschool library and the youth minister came up to talk with us about… the need for a Christian bookstore in our town. We feel certain God has called us to open a Christian bookstore, however, He is still revealing His ways in the How and When…. That brings us to today. I was checking my email (Cindy Rushton’s ezine) and it talked about your product. I had emailed Cindy about a week ago asking about your teleseminar that I had missed and she said it would work for an online store but also had valuable information about a bricks and mortar store as well, so when I saw the advertisement that you were GIVING one away, I just knew I had to email! I hope this isn’t over 100 words, I got to emailing and forgot the 100 word limit! Sorry! I’ll stop gushing now!

I posted above already that God would supply for me. My tax refund arrived today – probably I won’t get the letter for another few days to tell me, but I chanced to check my account today and it is there. It wasn’t expected for another few weeks which would have been too late. I have just transferred the money to my account and it should hit there at the time the course comes online – last minute, just like I said! God is so faithful. I am really looking foward to seeing the course. I wonder if you will be able to post tomorrows call for us to hear when it is finished, as I will be at the doctors at the time that it is happening here and won’t be able to join in.

My wife and I are looking for a way to build an income from our interest in gardening, writing and photography. Kathy homeschool’s our two children. They will hit college age just at my early retirement time. We are trying to start a church affiliated project to raise funds for the education of a young man, Ronnie, in Kenya, who lived with us for three months as part of an exchange program. We would also light to fund a project with http://www.lutw.org to provide solar powered light for his home village. His mother thanked Jesus for sending us to them when we recently sent money to help him. Perhaps your program will be the answer to our prayers to be able to combine early retirement, college funds and our Christian outreach plans. My wife and I have followed our parents example of outreach and we are continuing these teaching by example with our children, as they take an active role in our “Ronnie” fund.
God Bless

Hello Steve and Kerry -

We were on/heard 3 calls with you last week, with Cindy, Bob and Jim! We love your calm spirit, and assurance in all of the calls. We are not hearing “hype” from you, but we are hearing the missing puzzle pieces that fill in the gaps in our ability to do this successfully. Each call we got a little more excited about your SBSS program – it is the incorporates the ideal blending of our family’s talents and we feel (what we think) is that still small voice saying this is ultimately the way I want you to go. It will also allow the wives and children to contribute, without usurping the authority of the husband and that is appealing AND biblical! We love it that it is truly about the family.

At the moving of the Lord, we just sold everything to pay off most of our debt, moved cross country to a much cheaper cost of living and are restarting our business on the opposite coast. We are praying about the call for short term missin work with our dear friends, missionaries to Mexico and desire to help them buy and build a house in Mexico. We want to run “lean and clean” and open up our lives as much as we can, to be used for the Lord. Our last business (IT consulting), he was on call for a decade, and we had to SELL to get a vacation. We are done with that lifestyle, which does not allow hubby to work in missions out of the state, let alone the country!

WOW -it is difficult to start all over, church/home/biz, but we are blessed with a great church and settled near it (after an 8 month journey that wiped out most of our “Restart Nest Egg.”) Things are tight, the pressure is on, with another month of money left, and our first appointment with a new client Weds. We know that everything that happens will be our precious Lord and Savior, and that the glory ultimately goes to Him! He will rebuild our primary business, if we remain diligent and work while there is yet day and not give in to discouragement. Without a single client yet, the free program would be such a blessing to our family right now and it would be our goal to help others with the knowledge we gain as well. Homeschooling families are one long chain of folks, a family of believers, standing on the shoulders of one another, urging one another onward and upward in Christ. We are so thankful for the faithfulness of other families to share and inspire us, to teach us new ways, take away our old thinking, and encourage us in the simple things, let alone this incredible new trend in homeschool business families. We want to be faithful stewards of what the Lord has entrusted us, our talents and abilities, for His kingdom, not our own!

We are excited about your new program blending hubby’s massive computer skills (he builds networks, yet we need to know how to focus our vision, how to optimize a website,and how to set up a shopping cart and we LOVE free resources – he is the original “Open Source” kind of guy -those are the “gaps” even industry professionals need filled!),my love of writing and the e-books we are both writing write now, along with our kids’ creative talents. Our daughter and SIL are having their first baby next month, and we would like for THEM to earn residual income. We are excited that your program provides the missing pieces of the puzzle!

We can truly work a family business and grow it to prayerfully take over the OTHER one we are just starting, but successfully ran for a decade. We are the ones blazing a path out of CA. Our hope is to help OTHER overburdened, indebted family’s we left behind in CA (and rec. they see you at CHEA in July) to develop their OWN family biz plan, check out your program (so please produce more!) and leave CA for a simpler lifestyle that is debt free, away from the rat race.

Well, this is way too long and there are stories that are more deserving than ours! We appreciate your faithfulness in putting this program out and PRAY we can afford it! Since you can only choose one, we further pray that the Lord makes that family abundantly CLEAR to you, and that He blesses you both! Would you consider throwing in a copy of your 2006 Family eBiz Expo for all who posted here and buy, not just the first 10 tomorrow! We will certainly TRY to be in the first 10, but it would really above and beyond bless us to get THOSE CD’s as well and we cannot afford both at this point in our lives!

May our Lord bless you and keep you! Thank you to Cindy Rushton, Bob Farewell and Jim Erskine for faithfully sharing what could be a life changing opportunity!!

My wife and I are homeschooling our 4 young children we’ve adopted from Asia. In order to be home with my family, I quit my job that required me to be on the road Sunday through Friday. Our hearts’ desire is to build a business, but not just an income-producing business. We want to build something good and meaningful that we can pass along to the next generation, something that enables us to use our resources to reach out to more people. We would love to have our children working and learning alongside us in this business, developing character & vision as they develop business & entrepreneurial skills.

I have a specific target market with a specific service. I’d like to know how to approach them.

Greetings Steve,

My wife & I attended Rhea’s Day’s with you in Dallas two years ago. I’m a watcher and I have been getting your newsletters and watching you expand your internet knowledge and your business since then. In our busy lives, we have gotten comfortable with my day job. A week ago Friday the company laid off 30 people ‘to help make the profit objective for the year’. WAKE UP! We can’t afford being comfortable. We need to develop alternate sources of income. “Secrets to Building Sites that Sell” is a package that I trust will help me actually generate revenue. I can’t wait to start.

Great value post, especially with december 2010 still being a month of recession.
