Age:
19
Highest Education:
"After high school, I spent eight months in college
studying business, computing, and law. I have always
looked to create my own educational path, though. As
a result, I didn’t find myself compatible with
institutional education, so I made the decision to quit
college and work for myself fulltime."
Year
Started Business: 1998–"I
spent most of my spare time juggling different business
ideas. Since the age of 13, I’d wanted to start
my own computing business.
When I discovered the Internet
and realized the potential it held, I was hooked."
Type
Of Business: Education–"I
love to learn and I love to teach. Using information
as a currency for betterment is something that both
excites and empowers me, and ultimately (and hopefully)
touches the lives of my customers, colleagues, and associates.
I provide both the tools and the direct education to
help people in many different ways–built around
business and self-help concepts."
Market:
Ordinary people who want to make extraordinary changes
to their lives–people who believe there’s
more to life than working 9-to-5 and getting spoon fed
by society's stigmas and stereotypical views
Number
Of Employees: One in-house employee
handling customer support
Best
Month (Gross Revenues): $40,000–"I
actually made over $30,000 in two weeks that month,
with absolutely no paid advertising whatsoever."
Hours
Worked Per Week During Start-Up: "In
1998, it wasn’t uncommon for me to stay awake
until 3 a.m. after coming home from school. I managed
to clock up around 30 hours of work and research per
week during that period."
Hours
Worked Per Week Now:
45 hours during new development phases
Favorite
Business Magazines: Colleagues' e-zines
and self-published magazines, as well as those of his
competitors–"It helps keep me in tune with
what’s happening in the marketing industry."
Favorite
Business Books Or Authors: All of Tony
Robbins’ books, such as Unlimited Power: The
New Science Of Personal Achievement; Also, Steven
Covey's books and How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little
Tricks for Big Success in Relationships, by Leil
Lowndes–a great little guide on effective communication
strategies–"I like all books relating to
communication techniques, strategies, and concepts...It’s
infinitely fascinating."
Relaxes
By: Reading, watching movies, and discovering
ways to diversify his interests–"By traveling
to new and exciting places, learning about subjects
that wouldn’t have otherwise interested me, and
working towards a 'central plan' of how I want to live
my life, I’ve found that most things I do qualify
as relaxation. As long as I approach the subject, hobby,
sport, place, or event with an open mind, an eager attitude,
and an element of excitement, then relaxation can be
found in most things."
Keeps
In Shape By: Going to the gym–"Keeping
in shape is a central and important part of my life."
Favorite
Part Of The Job: The sheer excitement
and thrill of being in complete control, with a free
flow of ideas and a vehicle of putting them into place–"It’s
great to be in an industry that offers time freedom,
high income potential, and–more importantly–the
ability to meet like-minded people and be happy. Money
and materialism go down the drain if you feel like a
slave to any system."
Least
Favorite Part Of The Job: "The
Internet can be a lonely place to work! Text chats,
e-mails and online development can be a secluded and
silent place to work. I’m now introducing ideas
into my business model that allow me to be more 'connected'
with the real world and meet people one-on-one."
Companies
Admired: EAS Sports Nutrition–"As
well as empowering people with cutting-edge sports supplements,
their business model appeals to me. The owner, Bill
Phillips, authored a successful book (Body For Life)
and cleverly introduced a fun marketing strategy that
allowed people to win cash prizes and a vacation of
a lifetime. His corporate image, his ethics and the
lifestyle he promotes hold him in my high regard."
