I’m not one to say that the road to success will be easy. It won’t be. It will make you want to tear your hair out. It will make you cry uncontrollably. It will make you scream profanities. It will make you feel so frustrated you’ll be tempted to quit. Entrepreneurship is tough. It’s not for everybody. In fact, it’s not for most people, because most people are too weak to handle the roller coaster ride that is in store for them, the rest of their lives. Let me make that a little more clear for you: If you are going to move forward in your quest for success as an entrepreneur, you will be on the longest roller coaster ride of your life. It’s the roller coaster that never stops and you’re on board, with no way to escape. There will be countless storms that you have to weather. There will be many mountains to climb (and you’ll likely have to climb them repeatedly). You will consider quitting many times. All of this to say: ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. It’s an all in, all day, every day, 24/7 LIFESTYLE. It’s not a job. It’s not even a business. It’s your LIFE. And you have to be okay with a crazy, chaotic life if you want to succeed. And yes, of course there will be fun times. Easy times. Exciting times. Stress-free times. But in order to enjoy those, you must also be willing to experience the opposite times. Now, I know that if you follow me, you’re one of those people who is willing to...

Let me start this off by saying that I’m not telling you this to brag. I’m telling you this because not long ago, I was right where you are right now: Scared about making ends meet Upset that I couldn’t have what I wanted Money trickling in, never any big waves of it Pissed off that I was working so hard and for little in return Terrified I was never going to make it big Even though I have always made money in every business I’ve started, I’ve never really had that RUSH of money, nor did I have consistency when it came to my income. It’s like I was fighting daily to make sure I always had enough. And each month, enough was never enough, because I always wanted MORE anyway! Which meant I was never satisfied. Until I did this – DECIDE HOW MUCH YOU *NEED* The first step in creating wealth is to first determine how much money you NEED to bring in for you to continue living the lifestyle you have now. This is the bare minimum. Your personal savings (pay yourself first at least 10% off gross income), housing, food, entertainment, clothing, etc. What is the total amount? Now, add a 10% buffer to that. So if you need $5,000 a month, add $500 to the total as “buffer” money, that you’ll use only if necessary. That total amount is what you are going to aim to bring in each month as PASSIVE income. DECIDE HOW MUCH YOU *WANT* The second step you need to take is to determine just how much money you...

There has never been a time better than today to make a difference, become famous and earn amazing money online. It’s always been my belief that making money online is easy. Why? Because that’s how it’s always been for me, in the multiple online businesses I’ve created over the years. I know this isn’t the case for a lot of people. I know that for some, making money online is the hardest thing they’ve ever done. Many people don’t stick around long enough to see their efforts pay off. Many more don’t ever get results because they don’t employ the right strategies to succeed. That stops now. I’m going to share with you my strategy for becoming INTERNET FAMOUS in only 30 days. This is the same strategy I used to grow my last business to over $100,000/year and my current business to over $500,000/year. Not to mention the other online businesses that have made me tens of thousands of dollars and that connected me to influential people that support me even to this day. Before I get started, I wanted to preface by saying this: If you’re already feeling skeptical, this won’t work for you. You must believe it’s possible. And secondly, please know that by “internet famous” what I mean is that you have a strong following online of people who see you as an expert that they want to learn from. I don’t mean that you’ll be the next Kim Kardashian with a massive empire, though that is certainly a possiblity. That may take a bit longer than 30 days, though. 😉 Alright, are you ready? Let’s...

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me I wasn’t being professional and to “tone it down a notch”, I’d have a massive pile of loonies right now ($1 coins, for my non-Canadian friends!). A few years ago, it would have bothered me to hear someone tell me I wasn’t technically “doing it right”, when it came to their idea of running a business (and living life, in general!). Being a self-reformed people-pleaser, it was always a hard pill for me to swallow when someone shot me a comment about being – Too loud Too abraisive Too bitchy Too arrogant Too WHATEVER I always hated when someone didn’t agree with the way I chose to do things. And the more I was ME, the more I showed up and was truly authentic about who I am as a person (after years of faking it and trying to please everyone got the best of me), the more the haters reared their ugly heads an started to judge me. Started to assume they knew better. Started trying to tell me how to run my business. To which, of course, I gave them the finger and went along my merry way – Being ME. Speaking my truth. Saying what I feel called to say. Doing what feels right. And that won’t always resonate with people. In fact, it POLARIZES most people and doesn’t resonate at all. Which is exactly what I want. 🙂 Because spending time with, supporting, working with people that just don’t like me for me and who don’t agree with the way I think? Are not really...

Listen, I get it. You’re scared. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. Running around like a crazy person, doing 10,000 tasks a day, putting out fires, and hitting the pillow at night wondering what the hell you actually accomplished that was meaningful. I get it because I’ve been there myself and I KNOW what that feels like. I know how stressful it can be to live your days in a constant rush and blur, always dreaming of the day you don’t have to feel that way anymore. The stress CAN and WILL go away. The first step? Letting go of ALL the crap that’s causing you stress! Seems simple enough, yes? The problem is that you likely don’t even know everything that’s making you feel so stressed every day. And for the stuff you DO know is causing stress, you don’t know exactly HOW to let go if it! Here’s how: STOP DOING THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL STRESSED. Fix the situation. When stress happens in your life, it’s often because you’ve lost control. It’s time to get back in control of your life! Do you agree? If you’re serious about making big money in your business, you need to take back control. Starting NOW! HERE ARE 6 WAYS TO TAKE BACK THE CONTROL IN YOUR LIFE & BUSINESS #1. Get help. It’s not a weakness to ask for help. And it’s certainly not a weakness to get as much help as you can find when it comes to improving your life and business. Mentors, programs, software, tools… whatever it takes! No one has ever built a highly successful ($250,000 a year or...
