I suppose an “About Me” page is where you would expect to read a third person professional write up on myself. Hmmm…. well that’s not really my style, so I’ll just go ahead and tell you “about me” in my own words. 
It’s Monday - I’m In California On A Family Vacation
March 18th, 2008 by Jeremy Enke
Sorry I wasn’t able to get a motivational message posted this morning. We were up early and had to leave the house before I was able to get online. Next week will be back to normal though. After traveling half way across the country with 2 kids and a wife who hates flying, one famous movie quote came to mind today.
Clark W. Griswold:
I think you’re all fu**ed in the head. We’re ten hours from the fu**ing fun park, and you wanna bail out! Well, I’ll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation . . . it’s a quest! It’s a quest for fun! I’m gonna have fun, and you’re gonna have fun! We’re all gonna have so much fu**ing fun we’ll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles! You’ll be whistling Zip-a-dee-doo-da out of your a**holes! I’ve got to be crazy! I’m on a pilgrimage to see a moose! Praise Marty Moose!
It all started out when we were in the largest airport in the world (Ohare) standing in the United line in Terminal 1 with a ton of luggage, car seats, and 2 kids.
Karen: How come the Expedia print out says Departure: American Flight 313 and we’re in the United Terminal?
Jeremy: How come you told me we were flying United while pulling into the airport 20 minutes ago?
Karen: Oops….
Needless to say we had to haul luggage, ride a shuttle, and go to the other side of the airport to get into the right terminal. All in all though, I suppose if thats the worst thing that happens on the trip we will look back and laugh about it. I mean hell, it could be worse, I could have owned stock in Bear Sterns this week! Oh Snap. No matter how you cut it though, traveling with young kids through airports and across country is always a challenging experience.
Tomorrow we are heading to Disneyland which everyone is pretty excited about. I have wanted to take my wife and kids here for a long time. So I suppose if I can offer up any motivation today, it is as follows.
7 years ago I was an EMT making less than $30K a year. I had a dream that I wanted to be successful running my own internet business. I failed at first, I beat my head against the wall several times. And believe me, there were plenty of haters that loved seeing me fail.
But I stuck with it and learned from my mistakes. I worked my regular 9-5 job while building an internet business. Now here I am in 2008 sitting in a suite in Anaheim California getting ready to take my kids on their dream vacation. I didn’t come from money and never had anything handed to me. This whole journey I have been on over the last 7 years however is proof that if you work hard and have goals, anything is possible.

You don’t have to be a genius to succeed online. You have to work hard, have goals and read a lot. Jeremy is an example that should be followed.

Better late then never JE.. Good short topic and one that makes a great point. I’m am on senior staff at one of the largest companies in our industry. I love my job, but I’ve been asking myself what I really want. I want what most of you have.
I want to work hard for myself, have some personal freedom, and prove to myself and others that I can make it in this business.
This year has started out great for me and its been really encouraging. thanks for all of your wisdom..

Hard work and good goals normally is a great recipe for success

Have a great holiday with your family!…I hope you’ll have a good time there and back with new spirit and inspiration for the business.

This is Karen speaking (Jeremy’s wife)
Now Jeremy…. Why do you have to go and lie to your friends and blame me for ending up in the wrong terminal. Weren’t you the one that told me we were flying United airlines just days before?? ?So you were the first to be wrong!! Anyhow, thank you Griswold (Jeremy) for taking me and the kids on this fun trip! Its because of your hard work that we can do things like this. Hard work is worth it in the long run!
