About Joe

It all started in a hospital in Mt. Vernon, NY. I weighed a svelte 8 lbs.6 ounces, and was 19 inches tall. I’ve since put on a few pounds and grown a little taller, and am very motivated, but if you haven’t figured it out yet, I like to have fun along my journey in business and life.

There’s nothing like doing something you love, and getting paid well to do it.

My entrepreneurial juices seemed to have started flowing as a young child. When I was eight years old, the house I grew up in had a huge avocado tree in the backyard. I had an old Radio Flyer red wagon in my yard, so I loaded it up with avocado’s and rolled it through the neighborhood, going door to door offering to sell them at three for a dollar. They always sold out and it was fun earning a few dollars at such an early age.

About that same time I used to spend most of my days at my grandparents house while my parents were at work. I remember walking through the neighborhood, and asking the neighbors if they had any extra clothes hangers in their closets that they didn’t need.

Most people were very nice and usually gave me a handful of them, so it didn’t take me very long to have one or two hundred clothes hangers. I would take them to the cleaners around the corner from my grandparent’s home, where the cleaners would pay me two cents each for them. With a couple of dollars in my pocket, and an ice cream parlor right next door to the cleaners, you can imagine where much of my earnings went.

At the age of Ten, I learned to play the piano, and by the age of twelve, began playing in rock bands in my hometown. I had a natural talent for music and achieved success early on. When I was Fourteen years old, my band “The Bushman” was entered into a huge three day long battle of the bands with thirty other groups, sponsored by the Seven Up Bottling Company. WE won, and we became the Seven Up Action Boys. We traveled and did grand opening and other events, representing the Seven Up Bottling Company.

By the time I was Sixteen, I was in an original band, playing as an opening act in concert for such groups as Credence Clearwater Revival, Jefferson Starship, The Young Rascals, The Turtles, Santana, and many other historic groups.

When I was Twenty, I played in concert with the legendary Chuck Berry. Since then I have played with Steve Perry (lead singer of Journey) and recorded with Elvin Bishop ( Fooled Around and Fell in Love)

Later, I toured around the country with my own group, spending over Four hundred nights in a row, in hotels, and playing in places such as Las Vegas, New Orleans, Green Bay, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale.

One memory I’ll never forget was when a promoter put us up in a small house that was used for traveling musicians, in Key West, Florida. That house was used by The Beatles at the height of their career as a vacation getaway. So I ate in the same kitchen and spent a month sleeping in the same bed that Paul, George, John or Ringo did. But I never found out which one of them used the bedroom that I was in. The Beatles were a huge influence in my life, and that experience was, to say the least, surreal.

I continued as a full time musician, and at a gig that I was playing, met my beautiful wife to be, Connie. We were married and since, have been blessed to have three wonderful children, two daughters Carolyn, Nicole, and one son, Joseph.

I opened up a successful video rental business, and it became the most popular store in our area. But along with that success came long hours, nights, weekends and holidays, and eventually sold the business, and went back into music full time again.

Not only did I have a love for music, but I also had a love for sports, which I also had a natural ability for. In school I played baseball, football, basketball, ran track, and liked the rush of being competitive.

But baseball was what I was best at and had a true passion for, and an aspiration for early on.

As our children got to grammar school age, and little league right around the corner, I decided to try the 8 to 5 way of life that had never been part of my schedule, but would allow me to be there for my wife and children at nights and weekends. I also always had dreams of coaching my son some day in little league, and sharing my baseball knowledge with him. I fulfilled that dream.

I got a job at one of the top Childrens Hospital’s in the world as a Lab Processing Specialist. I worked that job for five years. Even though I made many friends there, and the nature of what I was doing was very fulfilling, it wasn’t fulfilling my entrepreneurial needs. I decided to play music again and then became attracted to the Real Estate business and the marketing business.

I studied to get my real estate license, and became a Realtor, and very much enjoy that, but my focus has been on marketing, specializing in online marketing.

Marketing has allowed me the flexibility to not have to answer to a boss and to schedule my time as I see fit.

Because I have been in front of audiences playing sports or playing music most of my life, It has become second nature interacting with people wherever I go, and because of my activities in sports and the music business, I consider myself a strong team player and a leader in the online marketing business. I enjoy the opportunity to help others achieve the things they deserve in life. This is what’s most fulfilling for me. I feel that my diversity and experience is a major asset to my teammates.

I’m still active in real estate, and music (keyboardist), But online network marketing gives me the opportunity to show people how to reach a six or seven figure income, and a way to drastically change their life for the better. It’s an awesome feeling.

I hope you got to learn a little bit about me , and what I’m all about.

I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you as well.

Sincerely,
Joe LoFreso
