Greetings everyone. My name is John Calhoun. I am so excited and grateful to be able to share some my personal experiences with you as I embark on my journey to success. I started my journey several years ago. And I have to tell you, it has been a emotional roller coaster. It has been filled with failures, successes, wins and loses, good times, bad times, joy, pain, happiness and sadness. You name it, I have been through it. That’s why I know how invaluable having a personal coach or a like minded friend to be there with you every step of the way. I have learned many key tools on my journey to success that I am going to share with you.
We am here to help you as you embark on your journey to success if you allow us to. We can be a personal coach or your like minded friend giving you valuable information to help you through.
This is the first of many videos to come. You can read more about me and my story in the About John section or about my partner Leah Evans in the about Leah section of our blog at www.inetentrepreneurs.com.
The road to success is a road less traveled. Believe me. We are starting a movement at Inetentrepreneurs.com that include YOU. We are headed to the top of this road called SUCCESS and we need many like minded, great people like yourself to go to the top with us. Whether you go with us or take your own personal journey is entirely up to you. Whichever you choose we will be here as a personal coach or friend.

Personal Growth and Development is a necessity if you want to achieve great wealth. One must absolutely go through the process of GROWTH. We must grow spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically to find our path or calling in life. We must be willing to do what unsuccessful people don’t do and get out of our comfort zones. There are hundreds or probably thousands of books on the subject but the Bible teaches me best.
As I read through the pages of the “Good Book” many of the characters had some sort of story that entails personal development. Today I’m going to briefly talk about being a Merchant. If we want to experience success in life we must be willing to allow God to take us through Personal Growth and Development so that we can be where God can use us. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God won’t protect you… step out on Faith.
Network Marketing dates back to biblical days. People in the Direct Selling Industry were known as Merchants. They would load their camels and donkeys with their goods and travel through towns and villages supplying people with products. I can’t begin to image how many NO’s they went through before they got a yes… Yet they didn’t give up and there were no computers, cel phone or cars back then as they traveled on foot and or the back of a donkey, horse or camel for miles across the hot desert!
The Laws of Average that govern the universe and Personal Development was a key ingredient to their success. All it took was one “YES” and they were in business as the word of their service would spread like a wild fire. They were passionate about their products and helping people so WEALTH followed them. They weren’t chasing money… they could not have been. They would literally arrive to an uncharted town where no one knew them. They were way out off their comfort zones and had to build relationships with people to gain their trust and credibility. They stepped out on FAITH and found “NICHE MARKETS” and provided a service with Character and Integrity. Those good Merchants understood Personal Development and they MASTERED the Art of Marketing and worked their God given talents while becoming Good Stewards over their businesses.
Now lets fast forward to the 21st Century right quick! Cutting Edge Technology and Social Media Marketing can catapult your business as you learn how to LEVERAGE the internet correctly. There are niches to be discovered and new people to meet. Instead of traveling on horse back we travel at the speed of light on Web 2.0. You will be surprised how fast you can build relationships and help someone as you learn new skill sets.
Clearly Principals and Spiritual Laws that govern the universe are in play whether we realize it or not. And they are always working… either for us or against us. Use your skills and talents with passion, get out of your comfort zones, keep God first as you step out on Faith and wealth will follow you.
God is Love and Greatness Is Within You,

The weekend of June 25-27 was life changing…
John Calhoun and I, Leah R Evans attended our Network Marketing Company’s International Event over the weekend in Cleveland Ohio and it was an AWESOME ride as life is a roller coaster.
We planned on recording interviews with some team members to share with you guys but after Saturdays conference our experience there came to a screeching halt.
While on our way back to the hotel to put on some party clothes for our teams networking get together, I received a phone call that every mother fears. In an instance the dynamics of our “WHY” we choose Network Marketing changed times 10… as my 24yr old son had unknowingly enlarged it…
My oldest son had an adverse reaction to his medicine and ended up in a comma and on a ventilator. That weekend most of my family went to New York for our Family Reunion while I “Mined My Business” in Cleveland.
A Police Officer found my son unconscious, barely breathing, and laying on someones front lawn… his quick reaction saved my son’s life. To make a long story short he called an ambulance, they arrived within 2 minutes, intubated my son and worked on him in the ambulance while they drove him quickly to the University Hospital. The officer happened to be a family friend and knew where my mom lived and went there to deliver news. Two of my brothers happened to not go to New York that weekend and called me at 6:47pm to give me the bad news. I called the hospital and he hadn’t arrived yet… they couldn’t tell me anything except that he was not breathing on his own.
John and I still had one more day left for the Cleveland Event but we left immediately when we got the call. I almost lost my friggin mind along the way while John drove calmly but quickly back to Pittsburgh in an hour and a half from Cleveland. I prayed to God loudly and exercised all the FAITH that I have in me while lamenting the whole ride back into Pittsburgh. John prayed to himself quietly.
Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to see… my son… not breathing on his own… in a comma… and foaming at the mouth… I freaked out! John held me up and said just pray.. keep praying. As Christians we know that God answers prayers through Faith so I called my family who was 5 hours away up State at our Family Reunion. I asked my mom, who is an Evangelist to tell the whole family to pray that God sends Shane back to us and heal his body. They stopped in their tracks and bombarded Heaven with their prayers while I declared God’s word and Prophesied over my son’s comatosed body. I laid hands on my son from head to toe and spoke life and blessings into him!
Shane began to breathe on his own by 9am the next morning and came out of his coma the moment they turned the ventilator off and took intubate out his throat. He sat up while asking where am I and why am I here? Shane experienced acute respiratory failure because he took his medicine wrong and that mistake nearly caused him his life. Despite of the critical state that he was in I didn’t let what I was seeing get into my spirit. Meanwhile my son wanted to see his unborn child… so he fought while in that deep deep unconscious sleep and just 8 days later she was born on July 4, 2010… which happens to be his favorite holiday!
I’ve been thanking God for healing him and wondered what the heck was that was all about???
The answer came to me like this… I was not suppose to go to that event… period! I felt it physically that Friday morning while doing my hair and it was revealed to me in my spirit while I sat in the stadium as there were several disturbing warning signs right in my face. But God took my test and turned it into a TESTIMONY because peoples Faith as well as my own needs restored. This whole experience has been so symbolic down to my first grand child being born on “Independence Day”.
God wants us to keep him first and do His will with PASSION. Never chase or worship money as the love of it is the root to all evil. Despite of what we may experience during this recession and in this economy we still must trust in God while we run our race and keep the FAITH because it can literally raise the dead. There may be times that our dreams, relationships with family, friends and loved ones may seem dead but they are not. Its gonna take faith to speak life into it… regardless of how things look we must see beyond that. This event became a testimony to stir up somebodies Faith and not just ours.
NEVER GIVE UP… I can’t say that enough… NEVER GIVE UP because you just don’t know how things are gonna turn out!
I’ve heard people say that their company’s International Event changed their life. That is true a statement to us in more ways than one. We still have the band on our arm from that event (I guess God will let me know when I can take this band off my arm)… Personally its a reminder of my faith as we set our goals around this vehicle which is not the means to our success. I’ve been sharing my testimony with people and their faith is being restored. My son and I have a new beginning and it completely changed John and my reason “WHY” we must succeed in our business and in life as Mentors.
Network Marketing may very well be one of the most emotional businesses on the planet but we wouldn’t change it for the world. You can literally do ANYTHING you set your mind to do as you execute your Faith… miracles happens!
Keep The Faith,
