About

Many years ago, I used to work for other people and I hated it. Now I’m lucky enough to run my own business and can live where I want.

How did I get from there to here? It’s all in my blog.

Building online businesses and gaining personal freedom

I’m an Amazon bestselling author, online teacher, graphic and web designer, and entrepreneur. I want freedom for you and success for your business.

Being your own boss is an incredibly liberating experience but it can also be challenging. I’m driven to help you experience the positive side of entrepreneurship, not the negative.

Here is a brief biography

I was born in the UK. I did the school and the university thing. I then did various jobs that included picture research for newpapers and magazines, graphic design and artworking for various marketing and advertising agencies. I wasn’t particularly happy doing this. I wanted to travel and I even taught English as a foreign language for a while in Lisbon (Portugal), Recife (Brazil) and London (UK).

However around 2003-4, I got a bit of a grip on myself, started meditating and stopped smoking. A year or so later I got married.

I started a business in 2006, initially to provide graphic design, web design and marketing services, but later I started selling e-books and video courses on the subjects of online business, marketing, web design and passive income.

Always happy to help. Please contact me.

In 2014 (at the age of 45, after a failed marriage, and after 8 years of running an online business in London) I started travelling. Since then I’ve mostly been based in Thailand but I’ve travelled and attended conferences in Vietnam, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Germany, London and the Philippines.
