{"id":1,"name":"Bruce Castro","url":"http:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org","description":"http:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.com\/biography.htm \r\nI'm an individual who spent his life doing things unconventionally.  Doing everything from making a living as a professional musician, to real estate agent to breeding reptiles for living.\r\nThe one constant in my life was my commitment to family... my insistence that I be the person who raised my children.  I have chldren ranging in age from 10 to 32.  I am proud to say that except for a cummulative total of less than 2 years, I was home to raise them.  \r\nThat is probably the accomplishment, of which, I am most proud.\r\nFor many years, it resulted in less than optimal financial results, but I had the most fulfilling loving family life and I believe nothing is more important than that.\r\n\r\nOnce they were grown and on their own and no babies around the house, (until I had my loving surprise, Cameron, who is now 10), it was time for me to \"grow up\".  I went to law school and was lucky enough to be at the top of my class and given the \"honor\" of clerking for the dean of the law school.  It was an eye opener that led me to believe that the practice of law was not for me.   \r\n\r\nDo to my early committment to family, rather than money, I tried and actually did many things... anything that would allow me to work from home with my children.  As a result of my various business endeavors and financial struggles, I came to have an epiphany...\r\n\r\nAll the time in the world is useless if you don\u2019t have enough money to enjoy it...\r\nAnd all the Money in the world is useless if you don't have enough TIME to enjoy it... \r\nI realized that it\u2019s all about balance.\r\n\r\nIn striving to achieve that balance, I eventually married my legal knowledge with the rapidly growing internet.  This was the genesis of the All Solutions Network. \r\nSince 1998 we have been helping people become homeowners, preparing low cost bankruptcies, preparing taxes, helping people improve their credit, preparing wills, dissolutions, and various other services throughout the country. Whether in the form of the many low cost quality services that we provide or even the FREE information and services offered; we are rapidly becoming the place that people look when they have a problem. We have been and continue to be dedicated to providing solutions, solving problems\u2026 not creating billable hours.\r\n\r\nIt's no secret.  In this society, everyone has to make a living, support their family; I'm no different.  I have a wife and kids who like \"stuff\".  I, like everyone else, want to do more than just get by.  I want my wife and children to be happy and comfortable.  I like to travel, vacation to enjoy life... But I made a decision... no more than a decision, I made a commitment, a commitment that I would accomplish none of this on the backs of others.  \r\n\r\nI would strive to accomplish my personal objectives, by creating something that would make the lives of others easier and better.  My success would be measured and determined not by what I took, but by what I gave... by how many and how much I helped others.  The more I helped, the more successful I'd become.\r\n\r\nThe culmination of that commitment is a successful business that includes over 200,000 worldwide members.\r\n\r\nAs Zig Ziglar said \"You can get everything you want in life, if you just help enough others get what they want\".   I've built my life around that concept, I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!\r\n\r\n.","link":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/author\/bruce12\/","slug":"bruce12","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/avatars\/1\/167ddeb966a100dfb43833419c87f151-bpthumb.jpg","48":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/avatars\/1\/167ddeb966a100dfb43833419c87f151-bpthumb.jpg","96":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/avatars\/1\/167ddeb966a100dfb43833419c87f151-bpfull.jpg"},"meta":{"jetpack_donation_warning_dismissed":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/allsolutionsnetwork.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
