I was born in Calgary Canada and spent all my formative years moving around the United States. My housing situation was never stable and I never knew where my next meal would be coming from. I spent all my time learning as much as possible and doing really well in school because that was my ticket out of poverty and into abundance. That’s what we’re told right?

I did well in school, whether we are talking high school or college, and excelled at every job I was ever hired at. I have never been able to get to the places I wanted within any company, despite my good work whether it was because I was “too gay” to succeed in sales in the south or “too young” to hold a management position. So I have never been able to make the money I need to be financially independent and live on my own. I have lived with family or just genuinely god-awful roommates (too many to count) for my entire life. This has led me to situations where I have had to choose between uprooting my life and moving cross country again or being homeless. 

I ended up in a tiny two-bedroom apartment with my fiance and 4 other roommates. This continued for the next 3 years while I worked full-time and put myself through full-time college. Until finally, I was able to get a good job with a well-known financial institution so that I could afford a place of my own with my fiance. A week after I signed the lease on the apartment I got dumped and I couldn’t afford the apartment I just signed a lease on. I had to figure out how I was going to get my 19-year-old cat across the country now that my ex wasn’t coming anymore. I was at the lowest of lows in my life and had to move back in with my sister.

If you are sick of having to choose between your independence and freedom, or food and shelter… if you are sick of trying to fit into a narrow worldview in order to “succeed”, you might be where I was before I decided to change my life. It’s true what they say about rock bottom, you can only go up from there. I decided the fate of my pets, my family, and my future would never be in anyone else's hands again. So I started looking up ways to make money online, I was gonna be the next internet millionaire. After about a year of trying and failing to understand how to make money online, I stumbled across a video and had my first aha moment. Now I have found my way to an amazing mentor who has taught me how to do just that and now I will be able to fire my boss and live life authentically and with ease. If I can do it. So can you.
