In 6,000 years of recorded time great improvements in technology have occurred. The advances made in the last 100 years were good. The last 50 years were better, but the last decade was simply incredible. The Internet is one of the most revolutionary technological advancements ever created by the human race. The Internet has emerged as a critical part of our every day lives. The transformation of the Internet in the last couple of years has been amazing. This will never happen again. We are moving from the Flintstone’s age to the Jetson’s age. These advances have created several opportunities so the timing couldn’t be any better today.
To make money in this world wouldn’t you want to be involved in one of the greatest innovations ever in the history of mankind? The Internet revolution has only just begun. To participate in the Internet industry you must think bigger. Instead of being an average customer you must have the mentality of a business owner. A successful entrepreneur knows that the near term future of the Internet is heading towards High Speed (DSL, Cable, and Satellite) and Wireless (3G, WiFi). We are still in the infancy stage of this next phase. The biggest challenge facing the industry is availability and price. Consumers in general are overcharged and poorly serviced by the monopoly carriers. Some companies have tried to allocate massive amounts of resources in these areas. Unfortunately most of the companies never generated a profit and have gone bankrupt (Northpoint, Rhythms, Excite@Home, Relay Point, etc.). The successful business owner should learn from these mistakes. Take the path of least resistance and pick the fruit that is ripe, not green and sour. The ripened fruit to pick today is definitely the "broadband alternative"- high speed dial up. Now consumers can get the benefits of high speed Internet at a price they can afford.
History has a way of repeating itself and we should learn from our humble beginnings. Before the deregulation of long distance in 1984, AT&T was one of the richest companies in America. Microwave Communications Inc. (MCI) used to be a two way radio company for truckers. The company broke into AT&T’s monopoly and prepared themselves for the ball game. They realized that multilevel marketing was an extremely powerful way to reach consumers directly. Instead of just trying to out-spend AT&T in advertising, they chose to align themselves with a company called Amway which had a huge distributor base selling household goods. In a short period of time large amounts of customers switched their long distance service to MCI. The old telegraph system from southern pacific railroad, renamed Sprint, incorporated the same marketing strategy by teaming up with a company called Network 2000.
After MCI and Sprint amassed a large customer base both companies began spending more money on advertising and traditional marketing. WorldCom, another start-up telecommunications company was started by a former High School basketball coach, Bernie Ebbers. He built a massive telecommunications empire and developed enough resources to acquire UUNet, the world’s largest Internet backbone. WorldCom eventually bought MCI and even tried to buy Sprint. The small fish has now eaten the big fish. Through all of this AT&T has gone from 100% of the market share to around 40%.
So as history repeats itself today, AT&T can be likened to AOL, MCI to NetZero/Juno and WorldCom to Mont Voice. This industry is more competitive than ever. In the next two to three years AOL is going to continue to lose its customer base to smaller, more aggressive companies. You have the opportunity to become a part of the most creative and innovative of these companies

People always saw me as the one who had his life together. I put on a pretty good show though. In reality, I was so caught up in trying to please other people and impress them, I ended up losing myself. I asked myself: Why have I done everything society has deemed successful; but found nothing? I saw myself merely chasing my own tail. I found myself getting older with a lot of ambition but no avenue to apply it. Lost, confused, and unhappy, I stumbled upon Titan Voice. And I?m glad I did. Through this company, I have finally found a vehicle to direct my ambition. In a world of decreasing values, I have found people who actually care about people and working righteously. I have been able to travel, speak, overcome my own fears, and help others in a way where I can actually say I am beginning to like the person I see in the mirror. I have found true friends who want to achieve the same goals I want to achieve: wealth, health, and relationships, and most important of all, the time to really appreciate all of it. Throughout this journey, there have been many bumps and challenges along the way. But when you have wise mentors like Mr. R.Jackson and Mr.C.Leung good friends to back you up, and a vision you are all pursuing together, what more could you ask for?
