It's Time To Congratulate DAVE COTTRELL, The 214th POTW!
12/1/2009 8:41:40 PM

Congratulations To The 214th POTW: Dave Cottrell!

http://community.adlandpro.com/members/6587.aspx

Wow! That's a HUGE surprise and an incredible honor. I am truly humbled by all my Adlandpro friends, and really... am... somewhat speechless. Thank you!

Here is my Bio.

Hi! I'm Dave Cottrell. I live in Gibsons, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in southern British Columbia, along with my beautiful wife, Kathy, our two youngest (almost grown up) children, one faithful old dog, a crazy young dog and two cats. Our eldest daughter, and our eldest son and his wife, with our sweet grandbaby, live in Oklahoma, where they go to Bible college.

Presently, I am the pastor of Sunshine Community Baptist Church , a small, Independent Baptist church started just over ten years ago.

My wife and I were married in 1978, and were introduced to our first experience in network marketing shortly after we were married. I was the one in the group who was very quickly recruited to draw the circles and present the plan. Some of you might guess what company that was with! One of the highlights was the seminar we went to in Hawaii at the Hilton Village.

My, were we young, then! We had great fun, but got caught in the "buy-your-upline-up-to-the-next-level" trap that so many network marketers got caught in, back then. So many people had horror stories of garages filled with product! We never had that problem, because the products were great, so we just sold them all! Why would anyone get into something that doesn't have a great product??

Things have changed since then. New rules to protect those who get caught up in illegal pyramid and pump-and-dump schemes were legislated, and regulations were tightened up. However, a quantum leap in communication, via the Internet, has been the biggest change!

Who would ever have imagined! Thanks to the instant, inexpensive, world wide capabilities of communication via the internet, including VOIP (call your people, people!!), I have had the great pleasure of meeting many new friends and building some very large downlines that I likely only would have dreamed about in the "old days!"

Today, along with my first duty of doing what God has called me to do as pastor of our church, I'm still very much involved in network marketing, with a LOT more experience than I had thirty years ago, and am looking forward to meeting and helping many more friends in this very exciting networking world! At this time, I am working with my Viking friends from Denmark building a new social portal called, HelloHello, and would love to have my friends visit me at my profile, http://onhellohello.net/social.php and say, "Hi!" and sign my guestbook.

Writing has been a passion of mine all my life, and blogging is a natural outlet. Blogs of mine are: West Coast Opinion, Confessions of a Well Scarred Marketer and Ranting and Raving. (You can find these linked from my HelloHello profile)

If you can't find my wife and I here, at home, church, or the office, we are probably somewhere in the mountains, hiking, camping, fishing, or perhaps, picking blueberries.

If there is ever any way I can help, please ask. I'm far from perfect and certainly don't have all the answers, but am happy to do what I can.

God bless,

Dave

Thanks and Congrats again, Dave! That's the first time I've received a bio for ALP POTW thru a message from a different network! You should hang out here more often. When it's bio time, I have to be a shepherd and find lost ALP people in other places!
