…And How Did She Get To
Where She Is Today?
Welcome friends and thank you for taking the time to visit my personal website. I appreciate you stopping by to discover my personal bio and to learn more about how I might be able to help you.
I currently operate a successful home-based business using the internet, email and the telephone. I was introduced to the internet – as more than a search tool – in 2007, and like many others discovered the power behind this incredible vehicle for achieving financial freedom and personal success.
My name is Donna Abreu, and I live in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California with my husband Mike and my two young children, Alex and Ella. Mike and I have been happily married for 12 years. We are best friends.
I completely immersed myself in the world of internet marketing absorbing every bit of information I could get my hands on. It’s been a long, hard path of learning with many bumps and hills, but let me tell you it was well worth it.
My drive is fueled by my strong desire to create Time Freedom for myself and my family, and for my passion to help others realize their true potential.
Watching my children grow so fast, I quickly realized that I wanted way more from life. I wanted more time with my family, more time and money to travel, more time to experience and contribute to the world. I was sick of trading my life for money.
For those of you who know me already, you know that I am down-to-earth and honest. I am a giving person and have a passion for helping others.
Making money becomes so much easier once you understand the lesser known secrets of leverage and marketing, and I’ll share with you what I know.
Now, it is likely I don’t know you personally right now, but I do know that you want something you don’t have. You may identify with one of the following categories:
- You’re new to the internet/home-based business industry and you’re not sure about where to start. Or maybe you’re tired of mediocre success in your current business of choice, and you’re ready to create the success you desire.
- You’re an entrepreneur at heart who is currently trading time for money. You’re ready to learn how to leverage your time, start something new so you can enjoy more freedom in your life.
- You’re not really sure why you’re here, but something inside you is telling you to read on…
OK, you still with me?
What I’m going to do now is give you some more background information on myself, who I am and then I’ll share with you my current business opportunities.
I’m doing this because over time, what I’ve learned about marketing online is that websites and emails really don’t validate trust or relationship building when it comes to getting involved in business opportunities.
There are so many scams and sites that will take your money and rip you off.
Have you ever noticed that we tend to do business with people that we like and trust and find credible? I want to be able to connect and identify with you in some small way.
So, the purpose of this website is for you to really understand who I am and what I have to offer YOU…then you can decide for yourself if you would like to partner up with me and get started on your own path to success!
Before we get started…why don’t you grab yourself something to drink, turn off your cell phone and give yourself the time to read through this entire page.
Ready?
My desire to be self-employed began at an early age with hot chocolate stands and selling candy bars on the school bus.
I spent my childhood years split between Switzerland and the Eastern half of the United States. My parents moved us every couple of years due to my Dad’s professional career and their strong desire to live in Switzerland.
In college, I supported myself with my own catering business delivering care packages, flowers and balloons to fellow students living far away from concerned parents – my customers – in the remote hills of upstate New York and amongst the beautiful Kayuga Waters.
After college, I became the family “rebel” by moving myself to the Pacific Coast where I met my future husband, Mike.
I spent my early professional life as a software engineer working for (owned by?!) large consulting firms. I then experienced the thrill of working on my own as an independent contractor: part-time work week so that I could be at home with my first born, excellent hourly rate, no corporate politics.
I was then tempted by the dot com craze and joined a startup in San Francisco, and landed in my, to-be, very last position working for someone else. I will never go back. This dot com was at least a small company with fun, motivated employees all working long and hard hours hoping to “make it” with their stock options.
Boy, am I glad I’m not doing that anymore!
Not only will I never go back, but Mike and I woke up to the fact that we were unhappy in the rat race of the San Francisco Bay Area. We packed it up and headed to rural Nevada County seeking a better, quieter life for ourselves and our children.
We found our paradise in the outskirts of small town Grass Valley, with acreage and a simple house perched on the edge of a mountain with panoramic views.
We were finally “at home”. We rarely leave our area to vacation, because being here in our home IS like being on vacation to us. We are at peace living with the wildlife, nature and free space of our home.
In the Sierra foothills, we are closer to nature. Our ideal vacation – when we DO leave home – is backpacking in the wilderness of the Sierras and spending the week on a peak near a mountain lake, fishing for a fresh trout dinner.
It has been no cake walk, let me tell you. We struggled for almost four years financially with one salary and not much contract work up here. Worse yet, Mike used to drive to the Bay Area for his salaried job. Not anymore!
The poor job situation up here in rural California forced us to look hard at our alternatives… move back to the Bay Area? Keep commuting? Neither very attractive.
In my pursuit of a home-based business, and financial freedom, I stumbled on network marketing. I attempted this home-based business twice, failing miserably both times. I couldn’t stand “sharing” with my family & friends. I couldn’t stand the pressure from my upline. I was so close to losing friends and the respect of family members.
It was then that I discovered the internet as an incredibly powerful vehicle for tapping into unlimited markets, and to find like-minded entrepreneurs who are seeking similar at-home business opportunities. My passion for online marketing grew faster than I could keep up…
I have several online businesses going, but I keep coming back to network marketing. I just love helping others achieve personal success and watching them succeed and realize their dreams.
And there IS room for everyone. So many people ask me about over saturation of the online markets. Look, there are over 100,000 people searching on the term “network marketing” alone, EVERY MONTH. There are many more hundreds of thousands searching on other terms, such as “home-based business”, “work at home opportunities, “earn money with network marketing”, “multi-level marketing”, “online business”, you name it!
There is PLENTY of abundance to spread to anyone with the mindset for success: willing to learn from successful leaders, apply what they learn, and work their butt off until they achieve success.
But learning to create a successful business online didn’t come easy to me! I stumbled my way through my first year and made nearly every mistake a newbie can make. I could regret my mistakes, but I truly believe they are what make me so valuable to the people I mentor in my business.
I will show you how NOT to make the mistakes I made 
But don’t take it from me, listen to what others are saying about me:

With that said, I can teach you everything I know about making money on the internet if you are serious enough to take action.
But I want to be honest with you. There is no “magic pill” or “free lunch” when it comes to making money with the internet. You will need to work!
Let me tell you some of the things I do NOT do to build my business!
- I don’t make a list of my friends and family to pitch my business to.
- I don’t hold one-on-one presentations or meetings.
- I don’t spam (send unsolicited email).
- I don’t stock a garage full of products.
- I don’t cold call strangers.
- I don’t do traditional sales.
Does this surprise you? You heard me right! I DON’T do most of the things you might think are required to make money in a home-based business.
What I DO…
I only work with people who have searched me out first… and I’ll show you how you can do this too. I utilize cutting-edge internet marketing technologies and Web 2.0 strategies to successfully ATTRACT like-minded business partners to me. We call this type of marketing Attraction Marketing.
Here is a short list of what I DO do, and what you can use to market your business with attraction marketing. First, I have aligned myself with a company with incredible integrity and a fantastic product.
When you join me in my business, I will teach you how to use each one of these strategies:
- Build a name-branding website (like this one) that tells your story, shares your passions, interests and hobbies. This is what attracts people to YOU – because there isn’t anyone else like you, is there?
- Use the media and press releases to get free traffic and post it in the search engines so people find you with your special unique keywords
- Post websites in the search engines so people find you with your keywords
- Use pay per click search engines like Google
- Use autoresponders which are VALUE based and not just opportunity offers or ads
- Write articles and submit them to article distribution sites
- Create information products with your information embedded in them and make them viral
- Use audio and video tools for your website and in emails – this will further develop rapport with your visitors.
What I’ve discovered about marketing (and in particular Attraction Marketing) is that it takes the selling out of my business. I am no longer selling products or my business opportunity.
The Importance of Having a Mentor…
All successful people at one time have a mentor. Someone to show them the ropes, so to speak.
If you want to be successful in anything you do, surround yourself with people who are already succeeding in what you aspire to as well.
What are your chances of succeeding working with me? Well, you have to make your own judgement call on that one 
I can’t guarantee anyones success…that’s up to you. But I can tell you that I am using cutting-edge technology that very few others are using to grow my business by leaps and bounds. I will share with you everything I know. If you’re ready to step up, be a leader, are willing to GROW yourself, and are serious enough to take action, I’m pretty darn sure I can help you.
It’s important that you understand that a presentation of an opportunity is in no way to be construed as a “recommendation.” I am not YOU. And only YOU can decide whether participating in a particular business is a good decision for you. After all, you’re the one who will reap the consequences of your decision.
If you are looking for a genuinely supportive and nurturing mentor, someone who will actually walk with you through the steps you need to take to grow your business, then I can help you.
NOW, if you have come this far. I’m sure you’re pretty interested…
