Not to long ago I was in a position where I was getting up for work every morning...
wishing I could go back to bed and get up instead with my wife and kids...
Now at the time I wasn't married, and we only had 3 kids (now have 4)...
but the reality of my emotions towards missing out everyday on my family, just for a paycheque was killing me.
Not only was it upsetting to myself, but the long hours and sporadic un-planned overtimes I felt forced to need to work really took a toll on my relationship.
I'd be lying if I told you there wasn't times we had fights over working late...and I think it's sad that this is the reality for so many people across the world.
I had always been a hard worker at all the jobs that I carried. Many of which were in the construction field, but I always had a heart for entrepreneurship and to grow myself in the online space.
The job I last had before making the switch to go full-time online was participating in a local retail store that was opening its first location and looking for someone to manage the store, as well as grow with the company in upper management.
This was actually a pretty fun position when it started, and It paid an OK wage... but it wasn't always enough. You ever hear that saying "there's more month than there is money"? This was the reality for us most months and I wanted a change.
I stated selling products online in my spare time when I'd be home in the evenings, and on weekends I would expand my knowledge and at times receive coaching to learn the skill of selling online.
One morning I came into work at the head office. At this point we were aggressively looking to open two more locations, expanding our in house team, and a big push on marketing.
The owner (who I had built a close relationship with) called me to his office where he put it plain and simple.
He mentioned to me that they knew I had a little side hustle going and asked why?
I responded by letting him know I want to get ahead financially and not feel like I am just getting by or going backwards each month.
He told me he understood and offered me a raise and compensation plan moving forward when opening the new locations. BUT IT CAME WITH A CATCH.
I was told that I had to either drop the side hustle, and I could take the salary raise and continue working and growing with the company.
Or...
I could choose to keep the side hustle but I would need to leave the company.
I was given a week to make a decision and after a long 7 days of prayer and inner thought. I decided it was time to double down on myself and my family and go all in online!
I left the position I was in and never looked back, and for the past 3 years I have been full-time online.
Most recently, I took my experience to the next level and opened myself up and stepped into a roll of coaching/mentoring.
Through the experience I had managing employees, and natural love for others, It felt right that after learning how to be successful online with affiliate marketing and the Ins and outs... than to begin showing others how to do the same.
And that brings us to right here, right now.
Currently I have put together an amazing coaching and mentorship program with a bunch of extras that you saw above....
If you're still reading this far, I want to make it clear that I've put everything I know into this to MAKE SURE YOU SUCCEED!
I could have been content with just selling other products and taking commissions and continuing to grow there. But I TRULY have a passion and excitement for seeing others succeed.
It gives a sense of accomplishment and joy to my heart to know I had a hand in helping someone expand themselves to better their life, for what ever reason.
Maybe for your kids and their family like myself...
Maybe its because you want to travel and become a digital nomad...
What ever reason it is, I know what the possibilities are for you that lay ahead.
I look forward to getting to know you more and help coach you through this portion of your journey should you decide to go ALL IN on yourself and take the next step in signing up for the Accelerated Freedom Program.
God Bless!
