When I first moved to Thailand, I didn’t have any money or any source of income so I quickly found a job transcribing online. If you’ve ever been to Thailand, you know that it’s very cheap by American standards. You can go out to eat and buy an entire meal for less than $5.
On my first day transcribing, I made a whopping 17 cents. I was so excited to have made any income that I went out and got ice cream! My pay increased to $10-$20 per day which according to Thailand standards meant I was doing pretty well for myself. I was making more money than I was as a paramedic back in the states.
I know what it’s like to make just a little bit of money at a time and celebrate the small wins. In today’s world, we are pressured to become millionaires overnight or else we will fall behind! Where’s the fun in that? I will help you create systems that will set you up to succeed at a steady rate by sharing my expertise and serving as your executive business coach. As you and your business become more established, we will celebrate every win, no matter how small. They are steps in the right direction and deserve to be acknowledged.
In my opinion, you are personally in control of your happiness in all areas of your life. Your income has nothing to do with it. I don’t believe you need to make millions -- at least not instantly -- to live an enriching life.
Don’t get me wrong -- if being a millionaire is your goal, then go after it. But consider this your permission slip to create and pursue your own goals and not the ones you think you need to pursue.

My family and recently returned to the USA after spending over 10 years in Thailand. During that time I was exposed to many cultures in the workplace. At one of my previous jobs, there were people from over 35 countries working together!
In America, there are different ethnicities. In Thailand, there are different cultures. This has provided me a unique perspective on how people approach business and conflicts.
As you will quickly learn, I am a normal, down-to-earth guy. I don’t claim to be a business guru. I’m not a writer who writes books about writing. I have my MBA and I have experience scaling businesses from start-ups to multinational companies. I have been through the process of growing a business many times. Recently, I made the decision to take a step away from working in a corporate setting to serve as a business development coach for others.
