Have you ever heard of “the 4 hour workweek"?
Besides the book, the concept is really simple.
Whatever it is you want to be doing with your time, what if you could actually do it…rather than trading that time for a job you really don't like…let alone love.
Another way I see this is travel. If you're tied down all the time, not only is it physically impossible to be on the go and travelling the world…it's financially not feasible.
Or maybe you have a hobby you really love and want to be totally free to just do.
Perhaps you are passionate about a lifestyle you want to live, or are a social justice warrior, or an artist, a poet, a writer.
So there are the options of starting a “brick and morter" business or a physical products business. But these are not always a viable option for people. The cost and headache involved…and if the product is not a hit, all that energy and money is spent…sure it's educational, but if money is limited and time is of the essence, this is not a great option at all.
Then there's the “services" industry, where you trade a service for money. Perhaps you are good at tree trimming or dog walking or computer work. You can charge for these services and then do them for people.
But here the issue is quite simple…it's not the 4 hour work week! You literally have to trade your time for dollars.
So this leaves an option that, in my opinion, is the best to get anyone started down this journey of creating a business that will pay them while they work less and less.
There is still work and time involved in getting it started, but without the high risk, without locking yourself to trading time for dollars, and without the heavy up front cost.
I'm referring to information products. In fact, chances are you have purchased at least one info product this year, be it an ebook, a membership, a service, even a kindle book.
What's brilliant about this form of business is you can spend your time up front, developing and creating your “product" with very little money or no money at all…just your expertise.
Then you spend time and maybe some money, marketing and getting it “out there", building your audience.
And within, I'd say safely 3 to 6 months, you have an online business that is growing, profiting, and most important of all…Allowing you to do what you WANT with your time.
So don't just go quit your day job just yet…
Right Way vs. Wrong Way
There are Right and Wrong ways of doing an online business. A lot of wrong ways, and just a few right ways, to ensure you are successful and “get it" the first go around.
I teach the Right way, based on my own personal entrepreneurial experience over the past 12 years, of identifying, dreaming up, creating, producing, and selling your info product…your online business…in my new course.
This course is entirely online now, although it's best followed as if you were at a 4 day training seminar. It contains 18 modules made up of 37 videos, all the tools and supplemental material needed, EVERYTHING you need to get started.
So it's a complete training course that walks you through creating your online business for success. And along with it is my personal email support and the opportunity to do further coaching with me personally.
Anyone can accomplish the 4 hour work week using this training. But it does require something. It takes focus and commitment and a “not going to quit" attitude. I can teach everything else. But those qualities are up to you.
Although I do talk about the principles of success and really lay it out to you, ultimately everyone's success lies in their own perspectives and hands.
In my course I teach everything else. All that you need is desire and drive. I show you the rest of the entire process from what exactly you could do for an online business, how to identify a niche you would thrive in, all the way down to product creation, step by step and how to get it to customers, etc.
Just think about this, in 6 months you can actually have an online business where you are providing a quality product that you worked hard to create, but don't have to keep working hard on every day. Something you put work into that then continues to pay you back.
In 6 months you can be planning a vacation instead of sitting behind a desk under a flickering fluorescent.
What Is Success?
There are many ways we define success. But in my experience as an entrepreneur for the past 12 years, I've found that success always equals time reclaimed.
You can have a steady flow of money, but if you are constantly having to trade your time for that money, you are a slave to it.
Success is all about turning the tables on this and making money work for you, reclaiming your most valuable asset besides your mind…YOUR TIME!
I've put together many online training programs, courses, etc over the past 12 years, on many different techniques to make money online, on marketing, even on technical subjects like WordPress. But I consider this course to be the most important I've ever made…for 2 main reasons.
First of all, this course unlocks the mystery surrounding success online and empowers students with the training of the right way to go about creating a truly legit, profitable, sustainable and successful online business.
It teaches you step by step exactly what successful online entrepreneurs are doing. Exactly the formulas, the setup, the layout of how to actually put together an online business and launch that business, begin marketing it, growing it, scaling it up and more.
And second of all, this course is the accumulation of my 12 years as an entrepreneur. I've started several successful online and offline ventures and have helped to launch successful online careers, consulted for firms and small businesses, and most importantly, I've learned from many mistakes along the way. I've learned the pitfalls. I've learned what works and what doesn't. How to create a business that will actually work, actually succeed, actually profit.
And I've done my very best to deliver it to you throughout this 37 video training course.
In a phrase, I show you how to turn your interests into a fun, profitable, sustainable and successful business that puts time back into your hands and allows you freedom to live the life you actually want to live.

This training course is NOT in any way gimmicky, black hat, or some silly little “system". As a student of this course, you'll learn the exact formula for designing a fun online business that is custom to your interests and passions, one that will actually work and produce an income.
There are a lot of “systems" out there that promise the world, saying it will be so easy and plug and play. But the reality is, about 99% of those systems are complete malarkey. They are designed to sell hope and deliver, not a business, but a gimmick that mostly annoys anyone who you try to sell it to.
What I teach in this course is how to actually create a real online business, how to actually create your own product or service based on your passions and interests, and how to profit from and grow your business, setting up for the long run and having a sustainable online business that you are passionately behind but that's also setup for success because it's designed correctly.
This is an educational course that delivers real results to serious entrepreneurs and is designed especially for beginner entrepreneurs.
Recent Reviews of My Training
…Thank you so much for being a real person and reaching out through the WF. I really appreciate it. So far, I am blown away by the quality of your teaching. This October marks a 5 year long battle with buying and trying WSOs, network marketing, mlm, and anything else that is out there promising to teach (but not really) how to make money on line. To say that I am frustrated would be a gross misuse of the word…~Shelly

The "Static Files" download contains the static files talked about in this and other modules, including the “analytics.php” file for tracking. All the static files will need to be customized by you if you choose to use them. The exceptions are the two folders, “lib” and “source” which can be simply uploaded to your site's root folder without modification.
Look in each of the static files for where you replace the capitalized sections, for example “YOURSITE”, with your site's and business's information.

Notes:
In this module we discuss publishing posts in reverse order, the last first, so they display in the correct order within WordPress. There is a “glitch” however. While this may make the posts show up on category list pages in the correct order, #1 at the top for example, when a user is reading a post and gets to the end, it will say “Previous Post” and “Next Post” at the end but they will be in reverse order…meaning the “Next Post” will actually be the previous.
The fix is to install a plugin that allows you to customize the order of posts within WordPress. Look in the External Resources for the Custom Post Order Plugin link to download it and use.
Other WordPress plugins are in the downloadable section.
