Do you want to BE EMPLOYED for the rest of your life, doing job that you enjoy every day? Thank you for that gift, which I aim to repay to you in my first online course, which delves deeply into how I went from being an unhappy employee to doing the creative job I love every day for you! This is a basic workshop meant to hold your hand as we walk together out of the realm of job seeking and into the world of being employed doing what we love.

The first stage is to do a thorough INVENTORY to determine exactly what our talents are today, what they have been in the past, and what they may be in the future. Next, we look to our RELATIONSHIPS to provide us with long-term employment by asking favors and developing depth in what we offer to our friends and family. Then, instead of looking for possible employers and clients to pay us, we take a leap of faith and perform the work to be DISCOVERED. We observe how the cycle of job seeking inhibits our capacity to fulfill our full potential, and we look into new ways to leverage the same energy we used to keep on the hunt to draw possible employers straight to us. Finally, we integrate all we’ve learned into a new understanding and everyday practice of what it means to be engaged in the service of our fellow humans. In terms of money, we believe that if we do our best, we will have ENOUGH to continue providing our BEST contribution on a daily basis while being HAPPIER than we could have dreamed.

We close the class together in appreciation for the time we spent offering our gifts to each other, and we move forward with bravery in creating the better world our hearts know is possible, utilizing our minds as a finely focused instrument for sculpting the unique artwork we create!

I attempted to start working online in 2005 while attending the University of South Carolina. I joined an MLM program as well as a survey website. After receiving returns from both, I concluded that working online was impossible because everything was a hoax. The fact was that I was frightened of failing again.

In an attempt to avoid dealing with any of my other problems, I moved in with my wife in 2011 and created an internet company specializing on video game addiction. I switched my company to selling shirts after realizing there was no money in video game addiction. A year after beginning my firm, I pulled out of my criminology PHD program at the University of South Florida to focus on my business full-time, which had evolved into helping customers with Facebook and Google advertisements after failing to do so successfully for myself.

In 2013, I began freely sharing what I learned on YouTube in the hopes of gaining more clients. I was practically broke by April 2014, having failed at 15+ various company strategies. I was also nearly dead from attempting to drink the agony away, and thankfully, the prospect of death prompted me to get treatment. Being in recovery encouraged me to focus on being of genuine service to others rather than on what I would get from it. I began creating courses for Udemy, which quickly developed into my first genuine company. I collaborated with as many brilliant teachers as I could and learnt from top instructors how to increase sales of my courses.

In 2015, I attempted to make some inspiring films expressing what I had learnt in recovery and had a fantastic reaction on YouTube. I started filming inspiring films while playing video games to make the background of my videos more intriguing. To make the website more useful, I paid a freelancer to translate the videos into blog pieces, including this about page.
