I get a lot of questions about quitting a 9-5 job and starting an online business built around, photography, video, or any other creative endeavor.

Most of these questions tie a big creative idea the person has to the money or lifestyle they think the idea will produce.

After the initial idea, they have no clue how to start or where to aim their energy. For this reason, they take a guess, try something, it fails short term, then they quit.

My goal is to teach you a simple framework that I’ve been using and improving upon over the past 8 years of running an online business.

Doing so allows you to spend your life working on things that interest you, instead of constantly struggling to stay above water.

Those who become successful in life, in their own terms, are experts at seeing and executing on power multipliers.
