Despite being a well-known entrepreneur today, my earlier business experience encompassed success by working for others. I worked as a telemarketer in my early years and moved up to the director of that very same company by age 18. I then moved on and began a very lucrative and powerful career in banking, where I not only became one of…

Why Serial Opportunists Can Be Unsuccessful Entrepreneurs
Someone asked me in a recent AMA video on Youtube about the benefits of pursuing multiple ventures vs. just focusing on one, and it wasn’t even three days after that someone else asked me if you should pursue a good opportunity when you’re making great progress with your existing venture.

Five Exotics for Car Lovers on a Budget
You may have noticed that we recently introduced Exotic Car Secrets, our system that allowed us to drive over a dozen exotic and luxury cars in the past two years without losing any money. While early on you are taught that cars are a depreciating asset and should not be looked at as an investment, we think they should be looked at as a business. There are so many ways for a person to buy, drive, and enjoy the car of their dreams and actually never really lose any money doing so. Imagine driving a BMW M6 for less than it would cost you to lease a new Volkswagen Jetta, or perhaps actually get paid to drive an Aston Martin V8 Vantage or Audi R8. Many exotic car owners already use this system to switch in/out of cars every six months or so. While not every single car makes us money, they sure don’t cost us much.

Secret Academy Episode – Josh Elledge
Josh Elledge wanted to reduce some of his monthly bills and started to find some loopholes in the system to cut his expenses by sometimes more than half. Taking it to the next level, Josh started to look for ways to save when he spends as well with the use of coupons, often not known to the general public. With these loopholes in hand, Josh created Savings Angel, an exclusive site catered to saving consumers thousands of dollars of month through a unique and custom tool that works based on where the consumer is and what they’re looking for. As word started to get out, Josh saw his customers were not coming in the form of traditional ads, but rather free press he received when being featured on major local and major publications. Josh saw this as an opportunity to teach others the same methods of getting free press and now coaches students through his course at Millions in Free Media. Today, Josh has built a multi-million dollar empire while saving consumers more than $10 million.
