From Mowing Lawns by Day to Mastering Marketing by Night:
How I went from a humble lawnmowing sidekick to a digital force to be reckoned with.
You can say I’ve seen a lot as a business owner! At age 14 my brother Mike and I launched our first venture together. We were The M&M Brothers Lawn Care Services. We worked after school until it got dark each weeknight. We kinda becoming a beloved part of our neighborhood until we moved away.
In 2009, I dove into the online business world with network marketing, I found a tech company and I was excited to start anew. I followed my upline’s advice, asking everyone I met...
THE QUESTION!
The question was ( would you give me a chance to see if I can save you money on services you already have and pay for? like your home security, TV, internet, and mobile phone services.
Despite my enthusiasm and effort, I Fell Flat On My Face….
Undeterred, I tried again with the help of Mother and my brother Mike we Launched The Jolly Rogers Catering Company, and yes I still love the cheesy wordplay with our last name there. We sold baked goods and attended special events like Mardi Gras Parties and weddings.
Though semi-successful, after we lost my mom to cancer in 2017, it just wasn’t enough to pay the bills, leading to me spending over the next decade working in kitchens where I managed to become a pretty good Chef before starting my next entrepreneurial attempt.
Then 2019 and the pandemic. I have stepped away from kitchens and I’m now married with two awesome kids! I feared losing my job and being unable to provide for my family. So, I returned to the online network marketing world, this time joining two health companies where one also offered valuable financial education.
Here I learned about product quality, personal and business integrity, and the importance of aligning yourself with companies that believe in the same values you do.
Then out of the blue my wife Laura’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and she became an online business owner in 2010, now a dynamic duo we have invested over $10K in marketing training from some of the big-name Gurus out there and it was well worth it for us!
we gained solid knowledge on amazing topics like managing mindset, how to do your goal-setting the right way, and how consistency and authenticity are game changers.
However, we also encountered false promises about fitting our businesses into the cracks of life and working from anywhere like the beach while you are on vacation or from the toilet while you are answering the call of nature… can you believe that people are paying thousands of dollars to learn what’s called the toilet technique… then what tops it off for me was its more than one well-known coach teaching this.
Stepping away from network marketing, I discovered affiliate marketing and it has been an absolute lifesaver for me!
Since joining the affiliate marketing world, I've learned what I call (invaluable superhero marketing skills). Skills like obtaining a web domain, what a sales funnel is, and the importance of building a funnel to direct my traffic too. and let us not forget how owning an email list will enhance any business long term. I've learned to pick products that align with my passions and values and even how surprisingly easy it can be to create digital products, serve my audience, and help bring in some well-needed cash flow. Don't get me wrong it's NO get-rich-quick thing it takes some work to learn before you can jump head-first like a superhero.
I never guessed I would love all this stuff so much, It is still mind-blowing that I now have a way to combine my passion for holistic health products with the offering of great education needed to start these kinds of businesses online.
Best of all… I get to do this all my way!
