About Me:

Hey there. I'm Dean Prochnow. Who the heck are you?
I've been in the home based business industry since 1993.
I AM 100% entreprenuer. I'm 35 years old, married, have 2 awesome kids, two dogs, and a cat named Maxx.

My industry experience goes in three 5 year durations. My first five years in mlm(93'-98') were like most peoples experience(a lot of ups and downs). At the end of those 1st 5 years I had my monthly residual income check up to $3500 per month, in one mlm company, then the next month they closed their doors.

The 2nd 5 years (98'-03') I swore off network marketing forever, and started more traditional types of businesses. You know, the ones with employees. What a headache that was. I felt like a babysitter, but for adults.

During my 3rd 5 year streach (03'-08), and after dealing with employee problems, I decided to look back into the mlm industry. But, ONLY as a student/researcher. I've spent the last 5 years, and thousands of dollars, studying all the top industry giants.

During the same time period(03'- 08') that I was studying to become a professional network marketer/marketer, my traditional business(temporary airbrush tattoos) was taking a nose dive, AND I had started to raise my family (Madison was born in 2003)(Wyatt 2006). So, my income was going down down down, month after month, and my expences were going up up up, at the same exact time.

I got into some really great mind-set & marketing training and coaching. And I knew that I needed to make some changes if I wanted to really become successful. I knew I needed to make enough money every month to pay my regular monthly bills, have enough leftover to cover my monthly dues for whatever program I'm in, and some for an advertising budget.

So what did I do? What changes did Dean make?

I moved out of a 4 bedroom home in the country...and into a 2 bedroom apartment in the city. = lower rent by $400 per month.

I changed around, and bundled a lot of my other monthly expences. = lower bills by $300 per month

I got a JOB! I know I know...A JOB!! Yuk!! But if I really wanted that sweet success, changes MUST be made. So I got me a F/T job at Dominos delivering pizzas from 5pm - 2am(6 night per week).

Now it's 2008. My bills are being met every month. I have money for my monthly program dues. I have a small advertising budget. And my confidence level has risen, because I'm not worried about paying my bills, and because of all the knowledge i've acquired about building home businesses, and teaching others how to do the same, without them getting hurt.

It's fun to see Kenosha on this site. I've spent a lot of summers not too far from you. When we lived in Chicago, we used to go through Kenosha on our way to Spring Lake (near Mackwanago (sp?) all the time. Havea great day- Peggy
