I caught a post before it was deleted the other day regarding the ProfessionalMuscleStore and my personal involvement in it. I am going to openly address that here and now.
There are many businesses that I own and/or have launched that I make absolutely no financial gain from. Those businesses are set up for friends to help them out in areas of life.
The store for example, I make nothing from this. I own the warehouses, so my profit comes from the manufacturers that contract with me to store their brands in any number of those warehouses. The store was set up and is run by members of this very board. The store was set up for the members of this board that offer similar products to have a venue to consolidate and market through the larger network that we have here. All funds go towards the packers, shippers and manager of the store. I receive nothing.
So when you see posts stating to "show support to the board and its members", that is exactly what it means. The sponsors give back to the members, the members give back to the store and the board continues to provide members and sponsors with more benefits and a tighter group.
I would appreciate people not questioning my motives without having the facts in hand before doing so.
Especially when it makes them look extremely petty when they attack how much money I am worth and that they will not contribute to it. I am fully self made and I have never been handed anything for free. Everything I have I have worked hard for it. I started 25 years ago with $120. Attacking my accomplishments and being jealous of me is akin to attacking a bigger bodybuilder than you - he earned his muscle size and worked HARD for it - nobody gave it to him. It just makes you look like a dick.
