Wp Elevation Wordpress Business Podcast

You can't be half pregnant. That is one important lesson I learned. I was essentially half pregnant with two business partners during this time. Let me show you in this episode how I roll the dice and focus 100% on one business.

In Part 1, I told you a little about my upbringing and how I ended up in business for myself. I shared with you the moment I hit rock bottom and my chance meeting that became a turning point for me. Now let me explain why I really need to drive the bus.

In this series of 5 Podcasts, I’m going to show you how I went from unemployable university dropout to building a successful online business with recurring revenue. And I promise, no horse shit.

Welcome to the WP Elevation Podcast! In honor of our 100th episode we’re doing something unique: I am the interviewee. The tables have been turned and I am being interviewed by our friend and former guest of the show, Jason Resnik of Rezzz.com. When Jason joined us for his episode, episode #83, he gave my name as his suggested guest. I told him if I were to be interviewed for the WP Elevation Podcast, I’d need him to come back and do the hosting job, and he agreed. So kick back and tune in to hear Jason and I talk about how WP Elevation came to be, what I do in my free time and much more!
