Why Business Matchmaking Services?

For years, I spent hours writing my ideas and plans down in my journal.  My thoughts were always about creating new businesses and implementing these ideas.  I felt that I was positive, creative and hopeful about the future but I wasn’t making any money.  I had a business with very little income but, a lot of potential.

That’s when my SuperPowers were born.  I had to become uncomfortable and talk to strangers about my services.  I did everything from cold calling, to soliciting to different businesses, to setting up a table at tradeshows with no idea on how to give a presentation. The drive to become better gave me endless energy to keep moving forward even when I stumbled a hundred times.

Recently, everything made sense to me for the very first time.  It was during a conversation when someone asked, “How did you build a business in the Caribbean?”   I said, “I took a plane and just started knocking on doors to let people know about my services.”  That’s when I realized I didn’t know anyone when I started the business.  The only success I had was based on the connections I created by building solid relationships with people.  Then I thought to myself, “I wish there was a place where people can GO and find connections to grow a new business.”

We live in an era where Internet is becoming the place to conduct business and where we can find all sorts of information but, you can never take away the face to face aspect of conducting business and building relationships.  That’s why GOALYGO Network focuses on business matchmaking.  We want businesses to meet potential clients and partners face to face.  It is an opportunity to grow each business significantly by having more connections.  It is your goal one step at a time so why not give yourself the most important piece of any business; The connections.

A new home with GOALYGO..

                   Sometimes you don’t have a place you can call home but, eventually you find it…

My name is Lucas Willis aka BEBO.   When I was born I was moved around from place to place and didn’t have a comfortable home for six months.  Then one day, on a cold night, a lady named Aly came and picked me up.  I was very scared to be in her arms but little by little I started to feel warm. That’s when I found myself in her lap on my way to a new place.

I couldn’t help but feel nervous and frightened because I had been to so many different places.  All I ever dreamt about was to find a loving home but, I felt like nobody wanted me.  So we got to Aly’s house, she put me down on the grass and I took off running and hid underneath her car.  I stayed there terrified for about 30 minutes.  She knelt down beside me and kept talking to me saying “Bebo, everything is OK, I love you, papi.”  That’s when I started to like her and started crawling closer to her.   As soon as I got close enough she grabbed me and I felt warm again.   She carried me into this big strange house with a huge staircase and I had no idea where I was or how I was going to get away.

That’s the day I walked into my new home.   At first, I tried to run away again.  I ran under her bed and then ran into her closet but, Aly said to me again, “Bebo, everything is OK.”  I finally warmed up to her and decided not to be afraid anymore.  I started liking this new place and felt comfortable there and little by little I started growing closer to Aly.  Every time she picks me up she says “I love you, papi.”  We have spent many nights together now and I love sleeping in her big comfy bed and I love her because she is my new mom. 

The next day, Aly took me for a road trip and we visited my new brother Bowser and my new awesome 2nd Mom named Momma Jojo.  She takes care of me during the day and I love her house.  I play with Bowser, a little boy named Julian and my step dad Sammy. They love me so much and take care of me while my mom, Aly, works or travels.   I was looking for a good home for so long and I really enjoy this new life I have.  I spend time with my mom while she works on writing her blog and book.  She likes to read books before bedtime and I love our time together.  I follow her everywhere around the house.  I still can’t go up the stairs or jump up into bed but I have to say “There is no other place like HOME….”

Sincerely,

Lucas Willis aka BEBO

My Psychiatrist....

My life was changing so quickly and I couldn’t understand why.  I had just gone through a divorce, lost my job and had lost all hope in ever reaching my dreams.  Everything was falling apart around me and as a result I became depressed for a period of time.  I started isolating myself from friends, family and just didn’t have a smile in my heart anymore.  This was a time where my weight started increasing rapidly.  I was using food to fill the emotional void in my life.  The reality of being a size 24 hit me when I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror anymore.   

One day, I found myself crying uncontrollably and all I had were pillows, blankets, fast food and ice cream to heal an indescribable pain.  I had spent more than two months going through separation anxiety.   All I wanted was for it to be nighttime all the time.  I couldn’t stand the sun light inside my room.  Several people had mentioned to me how depression can influence your ability to function and go on about in life and so that’s when I decided to consider seeking professional help.  It was an opportunity to heal the pain after all I had been through.

After the next few months I found myself at a psychiatrist’s office, crying and telling her how my life was so unfair.  She immediately suggested medication to help me cope with the changes.  On my drive home, I had a new sense of hope and a renewed energy to fight back in life but, I soon as I opened the door of my home all the empty emotions were back in seconds.  I stood at my kitchen counter with a Zoloft pill and a glass of water in hand getting ready to numb my pain but, a part of me and my sense of self-worth said “Don’t do it.”  At that moment, I made the decision to overcome these life changes with two powerful sources I already had within me; “Faith and Belief.”

My follow-up appointment was scheduled with the psychiatrist.  I walked into her office with a new sense of confidence to discuss my decision not to take the medication.  She asked, “How to do feel with the medication?”  I answered, “I refuse to take it and won’t take it.”  She responded, “You are diagnosed with a severe case of depression and we have concerns about your life.”  I said, “Great but, I won’t numb myself through the process because I want to feel every emotion so that I can come out of this stronger than ever.  My Faith and Belief in myself won’t disappoint me.”   At that moment I walked out of her office and didn’t let her say one more word about my life.  I took full responsibility about my decision, took back control of my life and one step at a time, days were becoming brighter.

You have to believe there is something greater in store for you even when your only option is to feel sad and hopeless about your future.  The pain will eventually go away.  You have to believe it.  I encourage you to take ownership of every step with confidence.  You can overcome anything that comes your way! Trust me.

2013 year in Review..

 

This is the time to review and evaluate our growth and accomplishments of 2013.

We started the year by acquiring a contract to provide technology services in the Caribbean with our company Vonac Inc. This project provided new technology to one of our clients in Puerto Rico and provided new services to Nevis, St Kitts, Barbados, St Lucia and Dominican Republic.  We eliminated the distribution of certain security products and developed new alliances in Puerto Rico. Currently, we are developing security services for a residential community of 250 homes.  We developed Security Online Marketplace and are getting ready to launch in the first quarter of 2014. We plan to expand our services to Dominican Republic with other investors at this time.

Vonac Travel had a record year with social media traffic and inquires.  We increased our bookings by 40% giving us the opportunity to create a new website with booking capabilities. The new website is scheduled to be live early 2014. It will now be a simple process for vacationers to choose our travel destinations.  We also added cruises and airfare to our vacation options.  We expanded our services by adding the Brazilian market and now have a Welcome Center on International Drive.  We plan to develop this market during 2014 by promoting the World Cup and the 2015 Olympics.  We are also scheduled to provide a marketing campaign to promote vacations in Puerto Rico. Our Orlando travelers continue to grow year after year allowing us to now provide travelers the option of investing in purchasing a vacation home.  This new program is scheduled to launch in mid-2014.

The GO ALY GO Network was born in March 2013. We developed the business network to provide solutions and services to entrepreneurs to help them become more successful.  We held many networking and community events to support our mission.  We now have many members and partners contributing to our growth.  We were recognized as “The Networking Event of the Month” by HOT Spot Magazine.  Our new website is scheduled to be live by early January 2014 with a new phone app.  Our social media organic views continue to grow rapidly.  We are focusing on having our video channel with exciting messages from GO ALY GO.  We are also opening our GO ALY GO Business Center in Orlando that will provide many services to our members.

This year was very different unlike any other year when it comes to my personal life.  I was able to truly enjoy my spare time with family and friends.  I visited the Bahamas twice and took a few other meaningful trips.  I enjoyed more time with someone special which made this year FUN.  I was able to run the Disney Marathon this year and I continue to maintain my fitness routine.  During the summer, I had a very challenging time taking care of my BFF during her last days battling cancer.  We shared more than 21 years together but, she walked into heaven on Aug 17, 2013. I continue grieving her loss.  

This year has been very productive and nonstop with developing our initiatives for the business.  I made executive decisions to terminate business relationships that caused unnecessary expenses to our company.  We are very clear when it comes to expectations and made it obvious this year to take necessary legal actions when expectations were not met.  We’ve develop new relationships with great leaders in the community.  I’m excited about our growth and new blessings coming to VONAC in 2014.

This is GOALYGO!
