There has never been a better time to be an Online Entrepreneur
March 17, 2020. I was a top sales rep in a Fortune 500 company, they told me to pack up my laptop and head home due to the pandemic. Over the next few months my book of business in sales was absolutely decimated. I needed a back up plan.
So I started posting content on LinkedIn and grew a following of over 15,000 professionals (mostly digital entrepreneurs such as coaches, course creators, consultants, content creators). This group became my tribe.
Next, I built my first online course while learning from the best in the business such as Rob Dial (Mindset Mentor Podcast) and marketing legends Stu McLaren & Amy Porterfield; eventually teaching and coaching others in their programs.
From there I grew a successful podcast and spent time interviewing many of my favorite authors and entrepreneurs as I refined my skills in digital marketing, content creation, funnels, email marketing and course creation.
I stopped live coaching but still love to help other digital entrepreneurs and this page is a place where I can continue to create digital products for other coaches that want to make an impact in the world.
During the work week I run a successful book of business as well as a real estate investment company but on the weekends I just LOVE to build digital products, its something I'm passionate about and I love knowing that I'm supporting other coaches.
An interesting story about me: in 2004, my boss gave me 2 months worth of pay and booted me out of my job because he could tell I was born to be an entrepreneur. He knew I was made for more.
I struggled and hit the point of near bankruptcy before my first real breakthrough.
In 2005, I had over $100k in debt and broke but finally had a breakthrough when I built my first online business. In that year, I created over 6 figures in revenue and paid off all my debt.
I'm an old school digital entrepreneur from the early days of e-commerce and search engine optimization.
Now I live a life I never would have imagined. I have 3 beautiful kids and wonderful wife, I'm an athlete, an accredited investor and have qualified for Presidents Club in Sales (top 10% in a very large sales or) for 9 out of 10 years.
I'm also a personal development geek, hence the name of my shop, Mindset AF.
I love helping others, just like the coaches I work with do!
