About...Me



Hi there! My name is Tracey, I am 44 years old and I live in San Diego, California.

I'm a Wife, Mom and Business Owner and I have always known that I wanted to have a career based on social networking.

I attended SDSU and have only worked part-time after college because of businesses that I've helped develop.



I met my husband http://Lance-Smith.blogspot.com/ when I was 20. He introduced me to business ownership and it just clicked in my head & heart that I was made to do just that………so we did!

A complete 180 change in what I was studying to do, but this way we were our own bosses….and we build up a business from scratch gradually adding more people that we enjoyed working with.

We have had so much fun working together. Lance and I developed a large income but our company became out dated. We were only in our early 40's, so we decided to leave the company with an established network behind. And decided to pursue a fresh, savvy and booming new business opportunity which ended up replacing and exceeding our established income with the past company within a few months.

Needless to say we were very pleased about that!

At the beginning we had this HUGE success….our checks were large, but what we found that we again needed to develop a system that provided viral growth to our marketing business.

We turned to the internet, researched, read and reviewed training videos. We are now working with some amazing, cutting edge online developers. They are teaching me how this industry really works, and I am learning why most people fail if they don't develop new online networking skills.

The most important thing I have learned so far, is that I should be building my business around ME not my marketing company……this was the complete opposite of what I had been originally taught.

Lance and I have since started a new chapter in our lives. What started as a business opportunity has really opened the doors to who we really are and we are excited to know what we and our team can accomplish.

I am incredibly grateful to help others like myself and share what I have learned in the past two years.
So.... That's a little about me :)

Sometimes.It’s….




Sometimes it is the hardest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to escape unkind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

I have had a great life, I’ve found the love of my life, I have wonderful/beautiful children who respect their Lord and though not perfect, I love them so much. I’ve had a great childhood, with parents who have loved and cherished me. I have a loving home and more friends than I could have ever wished for.

Sometimes it is the easiest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to remember kind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

How do you deal with the doubt and hatefulness others project upon you? You ask is it true what they say… And if yes, you change and if no, you continue without retaliation. You pray for the offender without being reactionary, you welcome them back when/if they return without recounting their offenses.

Sometimes it is the hardest thing to bend your knee and not your elbow, trying to escape unkind words and remarks made about you as a person, but tonight I will bend my knees and pray for the people who really say hurtful things because they are hurting people.

After you bend your knee, Lord Jesus Christ will bless you with his grace. Stand tall with a clear mind and a loving heart, run towards your God given dreams. Don’t cry but rejoice, for the days are short here on earth, but you will enjoy eternity in the glorious kingdom of Heaven.

Sometimes it’s hard to bend your knee, but it should never be…
