Shannon Davis Biography

I have turned 40 last year September. Have never wanted to be employed by someone else, always wanted my own business.

Tried college at the age of 17 and got sucked into a predatory school with unethical practices. Needless to say I ended up with a student loan that I never was able to get out from under. Even though at one point I had paid faithfully for 3 years, only to loose a job that went bankrupt. The Student Lender said the kept sending deferment payments that I never Received. Then they sold my account to a Guarantor (there own in-house guarantor which is supposed to be illegal). They tacked on $3,000 in fees and the payments I had made was all wasted. I decided not to give them another dime until I could pay it all off. Especially, when they did it again. For this reason my credit was shot. I could never get ahead.

Even with all that always tried to start my own company. A couple years back I filed for my own Corporation and started trying to build up it's credit. Personal Bills caught me and I messed up with the company's I was trying to build the credit with. I still have the Corporation bank account although I did not file the taxes because I did not know how. So, I kind of gave up on it and did not renew with the state.

Now I see that I may still be able to salvage the corporation (I think). The Bank account still have a couple hundred dollars on it. I may be able to get the credit for it back on line.

So, here I am today trying yet another type of something to start a company of my own and work for myself. The techniques I see in the book and the support I am getting from the forum all seem more promising then any of my other attempts. So, I am going to try my all to make it work for me. Even though friends and family may feel I am going on another one of my loosing ventures. So, I don't dare tell some of them until I am on my way.

Web publishing is one of the things I enjoy doing, and I take pride that I learned it all on my own. I fancy myself a techno and internet geek and I think this will help me also.

Full steam ahead for me, I have a feeling I am going to make it. I have no choice because I will pursue my dreams of my on business till I draw my last breath. It is just a part of me.
