Herby Fabius is a part-time entrepreneur with a plan for success.
The Stamford, Conn. resident and College of Westchester graduate is two years in to a five year plan to create a sustainable business online.
“After graduation I knew the corporate world was not something that I wanted to pursue right away, so I gave myself a 5 year deadline to start and run an online business,” Fabius says.
But in order to gain that success, Fabius also knew he would need a way to make a living while affording him the time he needed to work on his business.
“In order to do that, I wanted to be free on the weekdays, and I knew that wouldn’t be possible working a regular 9 to 5,” he explains.
He found the perfect position to fit his needs, taking a job as an overnight security officer.
“It’s not a glamorous job but it gave me the one thing I wanted and that’s freedom to work on my business,” he explains.
The next thing he needed was a way to increase his learning curve and gain the valuable knowledge and insight required to make his business a success. He launched a blog Billion Success as a way to achieve this.
“This blog was a way to connect with other entrepreneurs and learn from their mistakes,” he says.
Through his blog, Fabius interviews other entrepreneurs, asks them questions about how they got started, and shares that information with the world.
“This approach was a fast-track learning system for me in order to learn as much as I can in a very short period of time,” Fabius says. “By interviewing entrepreneurs I learned how they work, what they did wrong and what tools they used to get the job done.”
He says approaching others and asking them about their success also helped him address another important issue in his development as an entrepreneur.
“I am a very shy person so these interviews also gave me a way to break out of my shell and start conversations easily,” he says.
Fabius has also spent his time networking and immersing himself in the tech startup world.
He began attending tech startup events with other like-minded prospective entrepreneurs last April, and became hooked after experiencing the enthusiasm and excitement of the groups.
“I knew instantly that I wanted to have my own startup or better yet, I wanted to partner up with someone who’s willing to teach me the ropes,” he says.
He says the experience led him to his current business partner Mike Morris, a software engineer who brings the technical expertise needed to the team.
In January, the pair launched Triplefy, a website allowing business owners to create their own daily deals and online gift cards.
The business currently has customers in three countries including Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
It was also through one of his interviews that Fabius learned about the BizSugar community and became an active member.
The interview with BizSugar CEO Anita Campbell gave Fabius greater confidence and showed him the potential of the BizSugar community.
“The interview was then published on Bizsugar and the next day I saw my very first traffic spike,” says Fabius. “Almost 90 percent of the traffic was from Bizsugar and that’s when I realized that I was missing out by not utilizing it. Ever since that day I’ve been contributing regularly and I couldn’t be happier.”

IGLESIA ALFA Y OMEGA ESMIRNA
Vienen tiempos dificiles. La gente no quieren buscar de Dios.
Todo el mundo vive a su manera. Dejame decirte que viene
juicio contra la humanidad. Dios nos quiere destruir la
tierra pero la maldad del hombre y la sangre derramada ha subido al trono
de Dios. Viene una catastrofe mundial. De la cual no se va a salvar la humanidad.
Dios destruyo Sodoma y Gomorra y no quedo nada de ella.
El armamento militar y todo el dinero del mundo no puede salvar a USA a Mejico y todo el mundo.
Dios puede meter a USA debajo de las aguas.
y no se salva nadie. viene algo aterrador. que va barrir
la tierra y va acabar con todo. El proximo ano va ocurrir esto.
Y el mundo va ser cambiado totalmente. La tierra se
va a mover de su sitio. Despues de esta castrofe .
Viene lo peor van a ver millones de muertos posiblemente miles de millones.
Todo lo que conocemos va desaparecer vamos de vuelta a la
edad de piedra. No va ver comida , pestes por los millones de muertos.
Como en los tiempos de Noe la gente casaba hiba y venian hasta que Noe entro en el Arca.
Dios va barrer la tierra porla maldad del Hombre. No estamos en ese tiempo pero
la humanidad a adelantado el juicio.
Lo mas que odia Dios es la pervesidad y abominacion ,los gay.
Si eres gay arrepientete y pidele perdon a Dios. Todos los pueblos de la tierra le deben a Dios.
Y la Ira de Dios viene sobre la tierra.
Clama a Dios y arrepientete… Van hacer mas los muertos por la enfermedad
y peste causado por millones cuerpos muerto en la tierra y los mares.
En los tiempos de Jonas Dios le dijo ve y predica a Ninive.
Aclaracion Cuando el Rey de Ninive escucho eso dice la palabra que vistio de cilicio y
ordeno a todo el pueblo que se humillaran y pidieran perdon a Dios.
Dice la BIBLIA Que Dios vio lo que hicieron. Y se arrepintio Dios y perdono la generacion. El arrepentimiento es
ahora cuando venga una ola gigantesca de 500 pies de alto .
Ya no hay break. El corazon de las personas se a endurecido.
Si el pueblo y los reyes de la Tierra. se arrenpintieran Dios perdonaria la generacion.
Si predicas la palabra lleva este mensaje que la gente se arrepientan que los Gobiernos se Humillen delante del Rey de la Gloria
. Ciertamente como en el tiempo de abraham si hubieran 20
Dios no la destruira. Si hubieran 10 Justos Dios no destruira la Tierra.
Aclaracion Dios perdono la generacion. Pero mas adelante el Pueblo fue destruido por que estaba ya para
destrucion.
Clama a Dios Arrepiente . lleva el mensaje
para que la gente se arrepienta.
recuerda son Miles de Millones de vidas . La sangre de esas caeran sobre
tu cabeza y el castigo eterno es lo que te espera al
que no haga el trabajo.
Ezequiel 2 dice Si yo mandase a un profeta a
hablar y no habla . El alma se perdera pero demandare a el su sangre.
Si yo mandare a hablar y esa alma se arrepiente habras librado
tu alma y habras salvado un alma. Si yo mandare hablar y esa alma no
hace caso tu habras librado tu alma y esa alma se perdera.
Si mandare hablar y tu salvas un alma . Pero al finar
te apartas no recordara el bien hecho y habras
perdido tu alma.
Clama a Dios arrepientete lleva el mensaje a otros . LLevalo a
los gobernantes ,presidentes ,alcaldes, mayors,
Gobernadores. Que clamen de verdad a Dios se arrepientan y
pidan perdon . Porque la palabra de Dios es firme.
Un corazon contristo y humillado no despreciara Jehova.
Pide Perdon.
y a lo mejor Dios nos da un chance y perdona nuestra generacion.
Pastor Ludwig Falkenstein
