Hi, my name is Joe and I'm the creator of Greatest-Inspirational-Quotes.com.
I've created this page to share with you a little bit about who I am and why I created this website. So here is my story- the brief version.
My basic philosophy in life, is to follow my heart. It doesn't have to make logical sense nor does anyone else have to approve. The only thing that matters is being true to myself. Following my passion has taken me in many directions and given me the opportunity to experience life in very different ways.
Over the years, I’ve had the fortune to travel cross country 3 times, backpack the Appalachian mountains, write and publish poetry, speak to large audiences on health and wellness, sleep on couches, the floor, my car, the ground, in a stranger's home, and in a 5 star hotel. I've acted in commercials, TV, films, plays and improv shows. I've graduated from college, graduate school, and have been a practicing chiropractor for 10 years.
Allowing my passion to direct and guide my decisions has brought me a variety of experiences; some so beautifully inspiring I had to stop and cry in joy. Others so incredibly painful, I also had to stop and cry. But each point along the way I drank in the experience fully and let it wash over me. To the outside observer it may look one way, but to my inner experience it has always been positive. I’ve discovered all things in life are really happening for our benefit. Sometimes I don’t realize it for a few years, but it’s always worked out to enrich my life.
Following my passion is what brought me to create this website. A few years ago, a friend recommended I put together a book of inspirational quotes. During school, travel, seminars, and visiting various spiritual teachers and places- I wrote down the inspiring words I read, or heard. Over the years this simple action turned into a massive collection of inspirational quotes, stories, and poems. Reading, collecting, and sharing the quotes with others was exciting for me, but putting a book together wasn't a very exciting idea.
During this time I came across a very successful website creator. His website had a positive impact on my life and many others. It inspired in me the idea of creating a website that would provide value to millions of people from all over the world, and sharing it for FREE. He recommended a company called SBI!, which started me on my journey to creating this website.
If you’d like more information on SBI or want to to create your own income-generating website be sure to read my full review here.
For me this was the perfect fit. I was an absolute beginner and needed help, SBI! became the launch pad for me to have a successful website. In August of 2008 I created the first page of this website and it has steadily grown month by month. I’m currently reaching people in over 180 countries and have approximately 100,000 visitors monthly. It feels great when I look back and remember my first month, when the only visitors to the website were me and my girlfriend.
I currently work on the website a few hours every week. I usually spend my time adding pages of inspiring quotes, stories, and poems, working on the Inspirations Newsletter, or keeping an eye out for new quotes.
When not working on Greatest Inspirational Quotes, I am Passionate about health and wellness. I'm currently bringing natural health and wellness services to corporate employees in southern California.
That is the basic story of how I created Greatest-Inspirational-Quotes.
At this time I am in the process of building the largest Inspirational Quotes page on Facebook. Please help me in accomplishing this goal. Take a moment and join, also if you’re inspired- share the facebook page and website with your friends. I update the facebook page with 1-2 inspiring quotes a week. It's a great page full of friendly and inspiring people.
