How Specifically Did Jackie and Renae Help Me?

Now that's a great question.

Several of you have subscribed and sent emails since my last post and you want to know what I'm doing now specifically and what has brought me this far. I'm going to get to that, but first...

I want to talk about LEADERSHIP and the two people that helped me to reach my goals.

Hans Johnson, a self made millionaire once said. "To become a Six Figure Income Earner all you have to do is find someone who is doing it and follow their path." It made since they have already found the recipe so why would we try to recreate it? Once he said that I was already at the 6 Figure mark but I was able to look back across the path I traveled and realize it was simple I had followed someone else.

One part of that recipe sticks out in my mind you see. To actually do it, two things have to take place.

First you have to have the desire to follow the steps or recipe. And you have to find someone who will show you that recipe. From day one Jackie O'Quinn took me under his wing and showed me that path he followed to get to his level of success. He plugged me into the training "Dani Johnson", he showed me how to get the advertising and he encouraged me every step of the way. Now you may say he's your brother that's what is suppose to happen.

Really? What has your brother or sister done for you lately? You see he took hours and hours out of his time to help guide me and encourage me. I watched him do the same thing over and over again with others. Maybe your brother or sister would help you the same way. Hopefully they would! What impressed me was he did not treat me any different than anyone else.

If that wasn't enough, I quickly learned that another key to Jackie's success was other people he surrounded himself with. Probably one of the reasons the DFI marketing system is so powerful today is the other people who are involved.

One person I met right away was Renae Hiekkila. Now she is not my sister :) Okay, maybe she is but we don't have the same mama or daddy. I along with so many other people can now consider her an amazing friend. She very much so like Jackie provided a path for me to follow. She just reinforced everything Jackie ever told me. She also spent hours of her time training and encouraging me. She is an incredible leader. I remember about my second year she made 350,000 dollars and worked with well over 100 of her own clients and team members.

I was neither but she still made herself and her training available to me. She was volunteering her time. I had to be willing to follow...

So yes I must say Hans Johnson was exactly right and I'll never forget that piece of advice in all my adventures of life.

Now back to Jackie and Renae.

In my last post I mentioned the debt I had acquired through real estate that went south and also mentioned investments into DFI. Now God had lead Renae, Jackie and I to a place were we felt compelled to expand that purpose those two had for developing others in Coastal Travel. Can I just say this was a Journey.

The marketing system that now exist for DFI has literally took 1,000's of man hours to get were it is at today. Guess who has put in a lot of those hours on behalf of the DFI team? Yeap, Jackie and Renae! The current marketing system that now exist for DFI has had hundreds of thousands of dollars invested into it over time and fortunately through God's guidance it was possible to take something that others had created and build from there. Guess who has recently and continues to invest 10's of 1000's of there own DOLLAR's into DFI.

Yes that's correct, Jackie O'Quinn and Renae Heikkila. Now I've recently been asked if we received any revenue or profit from the DFI marketing system. The truth is yes we did.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH? (do you think I would have left if it was much?)

Here's a really good explanation. Have you ever bought a whole lot of something from someone maybe a vendor or some type of business? Maybe you bought a house from a realtor once or you did a ton of business with your banker? Did that business owner send you a gift at Christmas? You now something more than a card?

Something that made you feel like, "Oh! that's nice".

WELL... that's about how much profit we generated :)


Time is of the essence and this is getting long so I will have to cut it short if you want to learn really what allowed me to walk away from a multiple 6 Figure Income than subscribe to get the updates and it will be emailed to you as soon as I update!

BEFORE I END THIS!
There are several people who outside of DFI really helped me, two absolutely being Dani and Hans Johnson (I'll talk about them later) but also incredible people like Jeff Usner, Tom Challen, Jason Cole, Lynn Moyr, Krissy Hitz, Kelly Barrett and so many more...

Thanks to all of you and I look forward to speaking again soon!
Stacy O'Quinn

P.S. Next time we will get to more specifics of why a career change so suddenly. Till then...

I appreciate your kind words and although I would not have made the same decisions that you have made. I know that you are more than capable of accomplishing your next JOURNEY in life. DFI would have never been the same without you.

Oh and yeah DFI was intended to one day be a profitable company but only if we could create the best, simplest, most duplicatable and holistic marketing system in the home based business industry. Who knows we may be there now, but Renae and I believe there is more we can do and will do!
