“I wish you could just work a regular job and make $100,000 a year …”

Those were the words that came out of my wife’s mouth one night.

I remember it like it was yesterday, even though it was three years ago. She didn’t say them with spite, malice, or a raised voice — it was more a passing comment, tinged with hopelessness.

But when a loved one says something like that, you don’t forget. And you don’t ignore it. Something was really bothering her. Now I see why.

In 2012, we returned to Piscataway, NJ after I resigned from a ministerial job in Connecticut after four years. Life had come full circle; we moved back into the same cramped apartment from when we first married, just minutes from where we both graduated college. The only difference: I was four years older, and four years more lost.

Enter My-So-Called-Life: 33 years old, no job, no direction, draining our savings, drowning in an embarrassing amount of debt, and still trying to figure out:

“What am I going to do with my life?”

I had a measure of success in my previous job, but my passion was — poof! — gone. I was hopelessly burned out. Dried up. Spent. Done.

Thus began a never-ending cycle of sleepless nights, staring at the ceiling, and a series of “intense-spousal-discussions.” It was during one of those discussions when she said:

“I wish you could just work a regular job and make $100,000 a year.”

Ouch.

Now, before you think her a bad person please know that she was working over 60 hours a week to keep us afloat. (Living in New Jersey isn’t exactly affordable.) But me? I felt like a failure. I had absolutely no idea what to do next, or where to start. I was terrified.

“School must be the answer, right?”

I considered business school, but with what money? Did I really want to sink deeper into debt, only to graduate at 37 years old to compete with every hotshot business grad that was 10 or 15 years younger than me? Did I really just want another J-O-B?

My only option at the time: teaching SAT classes, something I did for side income during college! No longer had I come full-circle, I was now going backwards.

How it killed me on the inside, driving that highway each day!

My commute was plagued with wondering if I had made the wrong move. Why were so many others my age doing better? Where was God in all of this? Should I really be working a college-job because that netted us a whopping $22,137 the entire year?

But I kept going, because sometimes you just have to suck it up, eat your humble pie, and make the sacrifice. There’s no shame in that.

You know what I’m talking about. You’ve been there too.

You’ve mustered up the guts and grit to tough it out for your family, finances, and future. But now let’s talk about your freedom …

Let’s be real, you’ve already thought about making a change. There’s no way you’d be reading this page if that wasn’t the case. You know you’ve got something of worth to offer, and you’ve stayed up late wondering how to make it all come together.

Then, seemingly moments after your latest great idea, you’re riddled with doubt: “Can I really make this big of a pivot? What if I fail and ruin everything?”

I believe you can make it.

Here’s why: because I’ve done it. I’ve helped others do it, too. You’ve likely heard about this opportunity either through my blog or podcast, which means you’re trying to learn, grow, and move forward, right?

A ‘pivot’ is a process, not a project.

That is the single best piece of advice I can give you. You probably knew that already. You know there’s no magic wand. You know it will take time. But at the same time, making a successful ‘pivot’ isn’t just about knowing, it’s about doing. It’s about action. It’s about getting the process started, and having someone around that will help you navigate the transition, keep you moving, and hold you accountable.

You’ve likely heard about this through my blog or podcast, so I’ll cut right to the chase.

If you’re serious about engaging your talents in fun, fulfilling, and prosperous work that truly aligns with your calling, there’s no better route you can take than joining The Pivot Course: Parlay Your Past Into Profit.

This is the highest level of learning I offer — by far.

I have assembled the system you need most for a happy, productive, and profitable life — that hardly any would-be career-changer ever creates for themselves or understands.

It’s the foundation of my business today, and it is the reason I was able to completely turn my life around and dive headlong into a completely new industry … which has provided no less than six-figures a year for the past 3 years, and resulted in higher profits every year compared to the previous one … doing what I love, with the kind of freedom that I never thought possible.

(Yes, my wife’s $100,000 passing wish has become reality … except for the “regular job” part.)

It took me 3 years of fumbling around before I put these pieces together the right way, but others I’ve personally taught this to now have their own versions in place, fully functioning in as little time as a month, and did it all without jeopardizing their income or family’s security. Some have completely changed industries, and all have earned actual income within just the first few weeks of implementing this system.

My years of trial-and-error can be your shortcut.

What’s Different About The Pivot Course:

1. The “shepherd” approach, not the “sage” or “guru” approach. You’ll get four, live teleclass calls. No pre-recorded videos of someone talking to you from an ivory tower. Get personalized and specific feedback and advice from me directly. You are not alone.

2. Limited, pre-screened participants. We’ve all been in work environments with black holes: people that suck up all the time, energy and effort of the group. Not here.

3. Actual Accountability through an online forum where you interact with your fellow pre-screened Pivot Course members, ask questions, and get your ideas evaluated. To give you concentrated support from day one, I will be in this group every single day.

4. Process, Not A Project. Every person’s ‘pivot’ is different, which is why we’re going to focus on real short-term and long-term strategies particular to you. Your mindset will change. Your mission will come into focus. And money will be a natural consequence of all of that.

5. I’ve Actually Done This. I went from no job, to a part-time job, directly to a full-time ‘C-suite’ marketing position (that increased profits for my company by 169% in three years) and leveraged that to launch my own consulting practice. This is real life stuff, not theory or ideas.
